All this in more in QB Express Issue #14.

good issue, I haven't read everything, but that 3d qb fighting game seemed more like terminal velocity than raptor. All in all another good issue, keep up the good work Pete & Contributors.

Another great issue, (although my being QBX's proofreader may taint my views abit )
One thing, Article XXXXXXXXXXXXX by XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, a null article right above c++ for BASIC programers

I liked the pixel art column... nice.

To Pete:

On the majority of articles and reviews and tutorials here, I’d say you have once again put together one awesome issue..... for real!! d==b Congrats to you and the contributors on this!!!

One concern though:

Quote:QB Express[/i] #14, it"]First off here, the gameplay of Poxie is originally intended to be a marriage of Pac-Man and a platform game indeed, and it pretty much shows its stuff here because this game does *quite* a good job at that, to be honest with you! :wtnod: !

.....the original smiley called “ :wtnod: ” is missing from there, so what you can do is replace that missing picture with either this:

:wtnod:

.....or this....



.....and that will then solve the problem for you, Pete!

Aside from that, another SPECTACTULAR issue from you, my man!!! :king: Check you out later!!

Great ish man! The rouge entries look beautiful!

Good work, as always.

Yeah, great issue!

Hmmm... I just noticed that I was disqualified from the FV encryption challenge. Why? :lol:
