(no login ) greetings. at the time of this post, i'm 23. i've programmed in Qbasic strictly as a hobby since about 1996, because when i was a kid, all i ever wanted to do was create my own games.
i've never taken a class, and learned everything i know now (which isn't very much) from looking at other people's examples, and skimming through two books that i own.
sadly, all the time i spent programming was and still is nothing more but basic stuff. i've never bothered with arrays, sprites, or graphics. my first few games were text-only, but the rest to this date are what i guess is called ASCII animation.
i've managed to mess around with modem and network routines, however i was less successful with the latter. most of my games have high score features, which is nice to have, and a few of them let you save. probably the coolest thing about my games is that just about every single one of them has cheats, secrets, or unlockable things to add to replay value.
but again these titles of mine are very primitive, like atari 2600 games in most cases. however, that is my nitch and i'm sticking to it. there are enough eye-popping 3d games out today with fantastic music and sound effects. however most of them lack in the fun department.
give me an NES over a PS2 any day.
and that's why i never bother to improve my programming ability.
i will be posting my favorite creations soon. i hope everyone gets a kick out of my neo-retro style.
cheers,
bp

Dec 13, 2008 Yes, MOD works. Looks neater and saves a couple bytes. Pete Dec 13, 2008 I think both your MOD method and your integer method are too efficient Bill Gate$ Dec 13, 2008 You should use constants instead of magic numbers $teve Ballmer Dec 13, 2008 I hope you realise that I'm intentionally holding back on the confusing optimisations
