| QB64 V0.86 released today! |
on Feb 5 |
| *Great news! Thanks. |
on Feb 6 |
| Auto-formatting of code is a great addition... |
on Feb 6 |
| Thanks TheBoB! |
on Feb 6 |
| *Re: I really get that "I'm programming in QBASIC" feeling": Me too -- I'm home! |
on Feb 6 |
| * Open DISPLAY and try 120 x 40 columns/rows. |
on Feb 6 |
| I prefer 100 x 35 with this special font... (*URL) |
on Feb 6 |
| *Very nice -- attractive and spacy. Yours is nice too, Pete. |
on Feb 6 |
| Oh well, always a bridesmaid, never a bride. |
on Feb 7 |
| *I've gone back to the familiar QB font after all, so you're both old maids. |
on Feb 7 |
| * What? No Comedy Font? LOL |
on Feb 7 |
| A Christmas wish... |

| * F4 never worked in a QB EXE file either. Add a SLEEP when checking. |
on Jan 31 |
| *I guess you're right -- although I never needed it except during program development. |
on Feb 1 |
| *It's already planned. F4 will show a screenshot of your program just before it closed. |
on Feb 1 |
| *There really is a Santa Clause! Great -- and thanks. |
on Feb 1 |
| Why not allow F4 to pause an EXE ANYWHERE when run? |
on Feb 1 |
| * I thought that's what Ctrl-Break was for, but perhaps I'm mistaken...? | RpgFan on Feb 1 |
| * Well Mr.Wiki, Ctrl + Break kills the program unless you use _EXIT. |
on Feb 1 |
| Yes, QB64 is not an interpreter like QBasic is... |
on Feb 1 |
| Found another way to pause QB64 with the mouse. |
on Feb 2 |
| *Yeah, pausing doesn't help me much, but it's worth knowing. |
on Feb 2 |
| valentine's day? | Muffinman on Feb 3 |
| Ctrl + arrow rt/lt in QB IDE move cursor from word to word. |
on Feb 3 |
| * Make up your mind dammit. IDE or compiler? :-P |
on Feb 4 |
| IDE Stuff | Ben on Feb 4 |
| Re: IDE Stuff | Laanan Fisher on Feb 4 |
| *When editing the bas file, will it store the bas file in ram or a temp file? | Ben on Feb 4 |
| * Teehee....this is a match made in Heaven, LOL. |
on Feb 4 |
| Re: *When editing the bas file, will it store the bas file in ram or a temp file? | Laanan Fisher on Feb 4 |
| An observation... |
on Jan 25 |
| You don't need to hide-draw-show the mouse cursor in QB64 |
on Jan 25 |
| That's good to know... |
on Jan 25 |
| * Soooooo....what is _MOUSEHIDE for? To play games with users? |
on Jan 27 |
| If your question is implicitly inquiring about the use of _MOUSEHIDE... | RpgFan on Jan 27 |
| * Been there, done that. I just made a paddle to spank your avitar! |
on Jan 27 |
| Mouse query... |
on Jan 24 |
| I have no problems. What happens after the button is clicked? |
on Jan 24 |
| Yours works fine for me too -- not sure what the problem is... |
on Jan 24 |
| I don't think a delay in the MOUSE loop is a great idea but.... |
on Jan 24 |
| I only use CALL INTERRUPT in QB and QB64, no problems. |
on Jan 24 |
| * Add AX = 4 to move the pointer, 5 for click position, 6 for release position |
on Jan 24 |
| *Thanks Pete -- I'll try it (and thanks Clippy). |
on Jan 24 |
| * Your welcome. I tried a 1 second _DELAY and had no jumping. |
on Jan 24 |
| I've solved another QB64 mystery... |
on Jan 25 |
| Out of memory error with BSAVE |
on Jan 23 |
| * Let me guess, you get an error 5? |
on Jan 23 |
| Nope -- Critical Error Numero Uno! Run this program... |
on Jan 23 |
| * The max number of elements did not change. Integer didn't either |
on Jan 23 |
| This one seems bound by the QB limits, very interesting.. but schtupid... | Pete on Jan 24 |
| I was thinking the SAME thing Pete. |
on Jan 24 |
| Just to clarify... |
on Jan 24 |
| LOL, well Bill Gates decided "BSAVE will NEVER need more than 32767 integer elements!" |
on Jan 24 |
| I'll explain why this error occurs here... |
on Jan 25 |
| *Thanks -- like I said, no problem, just curious. |
on Jan 25 |
| * Next time Bob, think outside of the 'box' and use unconventional memory. :) |
on Jan 25 |
| Done deal -- although... |
on Jan 25 |
| * blame intel | Ben on Jan 25 |
| No sweat Bob. No BSAVE or BLOAD either with QB64! |
on Jan 25 |
| *Yeah, that's what I use. I PUT my screen in a binary file - same speed as BLOAD. |
on Jan 25 |
| * Yes, we can SAVE the entire screen with room for the RGB colors too! I love it! |
on Jan 25 |
| The _COPYIMAGE function creates a new image handle |
on Jan 22 |
| I see that it's possible to load bitmaps in QB64... |
on Jan 20 |
| Screen 12 can use up to 32 bit images. Including JPEG and others. |
on Jan 20 |
| Valuable information, however ... |
on Jan 20 |
| To give you an idea... |
on Jan 20 |
| * Yeah, I started a bitmap color editor but 256 colors was tough. |
on Jan 20 |
| * Apparently not. I got a grey circle w/o an error. I'll ask about that. |
on Jan 20 |
| Screen 12 only supports 16 colors, but you can make your own screens. |
on Jan 20 |
| *That's the one!! Bless you young Clipster! |
on Jan 20 |
| * Bless Galleon, he provided the info. That's the Republican thing to do. |
on Jan 20 |
| *lol - well, we Democrats also appreciate the efforts of the little people. |
on Jan 20 |
| *Actually, I became a Democrat for that joke -- we Canadians aren't that political. |
on Jan 20 |
| * Yeah, Canada only has 2 parties. The French and everybody else LOL. |
on Jan 20 |
| *lol -- too much truth for this time of the morning. |
on Jan 20 |
| RE: SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(640,480,256) for SCREEN 12/13 upgrades |
on Jan 21 |
| All good news ... |
on Jan 21 |
| Another question for Galleon (or anyone else who knows)... |
on Jan 19 |
| I think it varies Bob. Some have it, some don't. |
on Jan 19 |
| *I know all that -- it definitely isn't a capability of .wav files. But which?? |
on Jan 19 |
| It's in the Readme of QB64 folder |
on Jan 19 |
| Thanks, Clippy... |
on Jan 19 |
| Forget the above rant... |
on Jan 19 |
| Hooray -- figured it out at last... |
on Jan 19 |
| Great Bob, but ONE space is naural after a comma!. |
on Jan 19 |
| *I'll add support for spacing between elements passed to _SNDOPEN etc. soon |
on Jan 19 |
| KONG lives! ... |
on Jan 19 |
| Kong sounds great! |
on Jan 19 |
| *Is the link for the QB64 'minigolf' download correct? |
on Jan 20 |
| * Apparently not. Real LINK to MG golf..... |
on Jan 20 |
| *??? My link in the "KONG lives!" post works fine for me - the one you posted doesn't (??) |
on Jan 20 |
| *Oops! I tried the MiniGolf URL -- not Kong -- but yours doesn't work either. I'll repost. |
on Jan 20 |
| This one works (Kong) ... |
on Jan 20 |
| * MINE works fine Bob. Is this a French Canadian thing? |
on Jan 20 |
| Apparently... |
on Jan 20 |
| * I sent you an email bout that |
on Jan 20 |
| *Thanks to you, too - you've given me back QBasic (with bells and whistles -- literally). |
on Jan 20 |
| RE: Size of sound files & inclusion in QB64 samples |
on Jan 20 |
| Yes, file size was a concern of mine, too... |
on Jan 20 |
| Galleon, here's a partial solution for the time being... |
on Jan 20 |
| Thanks, I'll check it out... |
on Jan 20 |
| There's one that never would have occurred to me... |
on Jan 20 |
| * What happens if you are not online? Like many dial up people. |
on Jan 20 |
| Let's get real and make something more postivie of this... |
on Jan 20 |
| *That's a good idea too |
on Jan 20 |
| The _FULLSCREEN function can verify the window mode |
on Jan 18 |
| Question for Galleon... |
on Jan 17 |
| No... |
on Jan 17 |
| You definately need about 6 or 7 DLL files for graphics |
on Jan 17 |
| You've got mail, Pete... |
on Jan 17 |
| But it's not mini-golf season... It's NFL playoff season! |
on Jan 17 |
| You were pretty much right about the files needed for stand-alone... |
on Jan 17 |
| I just created what you need Bob. Unzip it to any location LINK |
on Jan 17 |
| *Thanks, Clippy -- I appreciate it. |
on Jan 17 |
| *btw -- what do you think of 4shared? I'm looking for a file-sharing site to use myself. |
on Jan 17 |
| It works great so far! It also keeps download counts for you. |
on Jan 17 |
| I think Mac and I used this one and it was really good... |
on Jan 17 |
| *Thanks guys. |
on Jan 17 |
| Well, lucky for you, it's halftime... |
on Jan 17 |
| That's great news -- I do have another question... |
on Jan 17 |
| * Email it to me Bob and I'll check it out. Use verizon address. |
on Jan 17 |
| On its way... |
on Jan 17 |
| * Naw nothing exotic, just XP but 32 bit. |
on Jan 17 |
| *Hey, it's all information. Thanks. |
on Jan 17 |
| Dammit Bob, now it's basketball season! |
on Jan 17 |
| Good plan... |
on Jan 17 |
| * Wellllll, since your programming again you could make a cheat. |
on Jan 17 |
| * Since I'm cheating again, I could use a program. |
on Jan 17 |
| OK, my boy finally went to bed, so I had a chance to play with it a bit... |
on Jan 18 |
| More great news! ... |
on Jan 18 |
| * Sooooooo..you don't see the trail? I gotta upgrade darn it! |
on Jan 18 |
| I know what you mean now by "trail" ... |
on Jan 18 |
| Last thing I want to play with is an ape with a trail behind him. |
on Jan 18 |
| * How about : "Putters I Am Proud Of"? :-P |
on Jan 18 |
| I'm not sure there'll be too many more "Proud" programs in pure QB... |
on Jan 18 |
| I actually agree... |
on Jan 19 |
| Here you go, Solitaire... |
on Jan 19 |
| Also, about the .BMP |
on Jan 17 |
| *Thanks, Don -- actually, I do have a MiniGolf bitmap icon included. |
on Jan 17 |
| For anyone playing my miniature golf game (mg.bas) that came bundled with QB64... |
on Jan 14 |
| You might want to consider using TIMER functions... | Pete on Jan 15 |
| Thanks -- I'll check into those. I'm sure there are lots of presents yet to open! ... |
on Jan 15 |
| TIMER(seconds) can got down to one millisecond |
on Jan 15 |
| Yes, so I've noticed... |
on Jan 15 |
| Some comparisons between QB and QB64 using the WAIT statement... |
on Jan 16 |
| In some tests I got negative returns in QB64. |
on Jan 16 |
| *Yeah, speed increases alone account for most of my adjustments to existing code. |
on Jan 16 |
| * I wouldn't make a lot of changes just yet. The problem is QB64's not yours. |
on Jan 16 |
| *Programs should be written in real time. | Ben on Jan 16 |
| Not necessarily. Some programs could benefit with more speed. |
on Jan 16 |
| Just tried this for the first time.... | unseenmachine on Jan 7 |
| RE: But this looks really good... |
on Jan 8 |
| * Indentation is minor compared to QB64's added functionality. |
on Jan 8 |
| Attention: TheBob RE: all of your QBASIC programs! |
on Jan 4 |
| *Note: Final golf score: 84strokes (+54 over par!) |
on Jan 4 |
| Thanks a lot -- I appreciate your trying the games... |
on Jan 4 |
| *The pleasure of testing such beautiful software was all mine! Thank you. |
on Jan 6 |
| Should the new ON TIMER event use CALL for SUB procedures? |
on Jan 3 |
| ATTENTION: TheBoB re: Your previous BLOAD/BSAVE error report. |
on Dec 26 |
| *Great news -- looking forward to the next update! |
on Dec 27 |
| Some bad news... |
on Dec 27 |
| *Thanks for the link, there will be another update in 1-2 weeks and I will get it working! |
on Dec 27 |
| *I appreciate it. |
on Dec 27 |
| Investigated & fixed. It was a rather unusual bug... |
on Dec 28 |
| What I found about multiple GETs using one array. |
on Dec 28 |
| Nah, you misunderstood the bug Clippy... |
on Dec 28 |
| * Oh, that xplains a lot. Don't want that to happen! |
on Dec 28 |
| Thanks Galleon ... |

| How would you feel about a CHAIN call compiling another module? |
on Dec 30 |
| The question arises... |
on Dec 31 |
| I agree. CHAIN needs to go the way of the dinosaur... | Pete on Dec 31 |
| Doesn't FTC include CHAIN too? |
on Dec 31 |
| *"Make Screen 12 have pages too!" -QB64 has already done so for years |
on Dec 31 |
| * Well, about 1.5 years. | qbguy on Dec 31 |
| * How many pages? Give me a list. I don't have any SCREEN documentation. |
on Dec 31 |
| *2147483647 or as many as your computer's memory can hold |
on Jan 1 |
| *lol- I think we'll be able to work with that. |
on Jan 1 |
| WHAT! - I just tried PCOPY 0, 2147483647 and all I got was an OVERFLOW ERROR! :) |
on Jan 1 |
| No | qbguy on Dec 31 |
| * BTW
* BTW ∫ is the integral sign | qbguy on Dec 31 |
| Re: Doesn't FTC include CHAIN too? (It does. Try reading post before shooting off mouth.) | Pete on Jan 1 |
| Yeah? Remember when I said 640K would be good forever? |
on Jan 1 |
| Re: I agree. CHAIN needs to go the way of the dinosaur... |
on Jan 1 |
| Re: I agree. CHAIN needs to go the way of the dinosaur... | Pete on Jan 1 |

| Everything in the WIKI can be easily converted. Are you offering? |
on Dec 21 |
| Presto | Pete on Dec 21 |
| * Duh, where is the QB64 stuff? |
on Dec 21 |

| qb64 icon problem | lawgin on Dec 18 |
| Incompatable with file manager. |
on Dec 18 |
| *Same thing happens with XP Pro | lawgin on Dec 18 |
| You will have to copy or drag BAS files to the QB64 folder |
on Dec 18 |
| Here is a workaround | lawgin on Dec 18 |
| Here's another... | Pete on Dec 18 |
| * On Linux you can use nice to do the same thing | Anonymous on Dec 18 |
| I had to use a longer path, but only once |

| Removing "Open With" option | lawgin on Dec 19 |
| You can control the registry with the command line | Anonymous on Dec 19 |

on Dec 19 |
| QB64 is giving you that messsage as if the icon wasn't present because.. | Pete on Dec 18 |
| I see what you mean | lawgin on Dec 18 |
| Galleon could solve this by... |
on Dec 19 |
| Utility program to help auto-convert multi-modular QB programs to QB64. *URL | Pete on Dec 13 |
| Can you add more logic operators | Ben on Dec 12 |
| * I doubt it. Logic doesn't seem to work with you :) |
on Dec 12 |
| If I was going to add these, I'd more likely implement them as functions... |
on Dec 12 |
| It's the second one. | Ben on Dec 12 |
| You are right Galleon. There is no reason to NOT combine existing operators. |
on Dec 12 |
| yeah except imp | Ben on Dec 12 |

| Re: Emulation of SHL and SHR in QB/QB64 | Laanan Fisher on Dec 15 |
| I understand the argument for supporting at least SHL and SHR. | RpgFan on Dec 15 |
| *Clearly, the SHL & SHR were too modern for Microsoft to include then in QBASIC! (lol) | Galleon on Dec 16 |
| * LOL! I was referring to the 64-bit data type support in QB64 when I typed "modern". | RpgFan on Dec 16 |
| *The QB KEYWORDS are not done yet! Don't add any of this JUNK until then! |
on Dec 16 |
| Re: I understand the argument for supporting at least SHL and SHR. | Laanan Fisher on Dec 16 |
| * FORTRAN 90 has bit rotation implemented as the intrinsic ISHIFTC function | qbguy on Dec 16 |
| In my oppinion... |
on Dec 16 |
| I don't really like the *=, but we really need SHR/SHL I think. | Ben on Dec 14 |
| * "WE"? Sounds more like YOU to me. I see you don't like asterisks though! |
on Dec 14 |
| *Look again. There's an asterik there. Right after 'the'. | Ben on Dec 14 |

| QB64 no support cubic math | gene ray on Sep 10 |
| Apparently you are from South America and you are cubed already. |

| *Due to 100% QBASIC compatibility I'm afraid -1*-1 will always equal 1 in QB64 too! | Galleon on Sep 10 |

| Possible metacommand for QBASIC users |
on Aug 15 |
| It sure would make adding QB64 code easier in the QB IDE |
on Aug 15 |
| Personally, I don't think it'd be worth it. |

| WHAT? It sounds like a switch to use the NEW QB64 functions to me! |
on Aug 15 |
| *The differences are the same as the differences between FB and QB. |
on Aug 15 |
| * It is not the same as FB! You NEED a switch to even USE QB code in FB! |
on Aug 16 |
| The metacommand would allow hybrid programming... |

| * Why not set the environmental variable QB64_VERSION | Anon on Aug 16 |
| * Because that would only be skipped at runtime, not at compile time | ymous on Aug 16 |
| * The main point is that the QB IDE will ignore the 'QB64 code as a comment! |

| Applying that patch now Captain... |
on Aug 24 |
| *I understand it, I just don't like the idea of comment coding. |
on Aug 26 |
| * Then don't use INCLUDE or DYNAMIC either! |
on Aug 27 |
| There's a big difference |
on Aug 28 |
| It's only a way to use one program file instead of 2 really |
on Aug 28 |
| * Then use an existing macro system such as m4 | Anon on Aug 28 |
| Re: There's a big difference | Cyperium on Oct 4 |
| Good idea to say the least. | RpgFan on Aug 24 |
| You could exclude QB code with another QB64 command |
on Aug 27 |
| But it would break QB compatibility! |

| No tail recursion in QB64? | qbguy on Jul 9 |
| * NO "tail recursion" for you! |
on Jul 9 |
| * You'll have to excuse Clippy, he hasn't had any tail in a long time. |
on Jul 9 |
| * I gather you won't post at QB64 anymore. So you can whine here. |

| How far can one code in QB64? |
on Jul 8 |
| * Far as you want. Just use CHAIN and a data file to hold your Common Shared values. |

| Attn: Pete |

| Sorry, I thought CHAIN was implimented. |
