(1) i want to have the options of changing foreground and background colors, it's very important to me, _I DO HATE CLEAR BACKGROUND COLORS_

(2) i like not to be caring about the width of the window, will the IDE be able to work with WIDTH 80, 25, etc? i mean like DOS window or Console compiler?

(3) will the compiler have a _SendKeys_?, i would love that, thank you
Let me answer this.

(1) You do it same way as qb
(2) There's no IDE, deal with it. There are loads of editors for windows you can use. But it will never be like qb where it will almost write the code for you and run it line by line.
(3) Nope, it's windows, there are millions of libs for everything. And there's the windows API. Learn to live with it.
SendKeys is an intrinsic VB function. There's probably an API method for it. As far as the IDE goes...aetherFox and I are working on one, and I'm sure someone else will do one as well. But it's not gonna be a shitty MSDOS wanabe IDE either, so that WIDTH crap is ancient history.

All done with usual QB console functions/statements.


Btw, i added PRINT USING, it just took ~500 lines of C to be implented :P, you can see it in action on the score shown by nibbles.
aw, V!c could you repost it somewhere?
Nah, never mind, did it myself: http://www.hot.ee/wizgui/nibbles.bas
