That's the problem I'm having now. The computer I normally program on is down. At the moment, I'm on my dad's and I can't program here (one mustn't defile the parent's computer, you see). I want to try to finish a project I've been working on, but at this rate I figure that I'm better off just restarting it.

In the meantime, I'm redoing its graphics and outlining the program (modules, subs and stuff) but won't be able to test it...

*grumble*

Make a web comic? it worked for me Tongue
Write an article for QB Express!
You said you were redoing the graphics? Well, you could make some really good stuff with all the free time I bet. Wink
Yea, art is the best alternative creative outlet to programming.

2. Think about it
3. Make your brain itch.

or fit qbasic on a floppy and program =P
I have the same problem sometimes.

(0)Quite often I don't really comment my program too well. So when something like that happens, I go back over the code and comment things I don't think I've commented quite well enough. So if you haven't commented well enough, try messing around with the comments. While you're at it, try optimizing code, making it easier to read, etc. Download a code beautifier!

(1) I think u can fit QBasic 1.1 on a single floppy, so if all u need to do is test the program, that's all u need.

(2) If you have internet access then you can do a lot. For example, you could get a free webhost, download an FTP client, and make a qbasic website!

(3) Be creative! :bounce: Think! Yeah, I know, thinking is pretty boring... but think of what you can do with all that spare time! You can check out library books to learn more about programming! You can do a whole lot!
Read books
When I can't program for one reason or another, I waste my time playing my PS2 or watching movies. Big Grin
If i have a really good idea going and i cant go on a computer and program it right away i usually write it down and think of how i could improve it.
