Pete's QBASIC Site

I have an idea for a challenge for PETESQBSITE and this seemed the like the easiest way to let people know about it. Make a card game like cribbage or euchre, or whatever game you want to make, that you can play with a friend over the internet. I do not know if this is even possible, i sure as hell know that I can't do it, i doubt i could even make just a regular card game, but anyway . . . see what you can do.

That's quite a tough challenge! Online multiplayer games in QB are incredibly hard to make, and few have succeeded.

James Robert Osborne (aka WisdomDude) and Marcade made the first online-playable QB game last year. It was a Connect 4 clone. You can find it here:

WisdomDude is also working on a second online two-player game. This time it's a Pool game called "QBall".

You can read about it in the projects section:

Anyway, as for me, I'm not good enough at QB to even attempt to program an online game. If someone else takes you up on your challenge, though, more power to them!

Yeah that is tough, you'd either have to have knowledge of ASM or an extreme working knowledge of ports and the INP and OUT statments in Qb. Handeling of packets of information, What's going on, being able to recieve and send. Knowing which port to send and read data from. A lot of work just getting it online.
