I know this thread seems to have finished a while ago, but these programs are all so cool, so I have to ask: where can I get them all in an easy zipped package?
Or:
Can I take these and host them on QBasic New Zealand? I'll add a link for anyone who says yes to their site of choice, or an email address or whatever you guys want.
Ask to rel. He was keeping some kind of archive.
I'm quite sure you can host those programs in your site. At least, you can host phobeous and mine's (that cool fire effect).
Definately the fire effect. And the forest.bas too. Why didn't antoni put those 300 data lines into one huge data line?
This is a seven-liner I did at school. You've probably seen something like this 100's of times.
Quote:1 SCREEN 13
2 DO
3 IF INKEY$ <> "" THEN END
4 X = INT(RND * 250) + 1
5 Y = INT(RND * 250) + 1
6 CIRCLE STEP (0,0), X, Y
7 LOOP

Well, because of line length restrictions. "Expression too complex" can be given if lines are greater than 256 characters long. From that line size, BC.EXE begins behaving oddly
Anyway, those 300 data lines don't count 'cause the effect itself is done in the first lines. The DATAs are just for the neato image.
I have linux back!!!
So... I have debian and got dosemu through apt-get (the coolest program in linux btw!)... now, how do I get it to stop giving me the "sorry, there is no operating system. Goodbye!" message, and get it to start running qbasic?
TerraGoteia: Thanks, source is always good. I don't event understand half the hardware stuff these guys are (were?) pulling, so I'm making it my job to soon (after my site is up).
Well, you have to install MSDOS, DRDOS or FreeDOS in DosEMU. I would recommend you MSDOS if you have it, if not, just download FreeDOS. Anyhow, a single "MSDOS diskette images" should be OK in Google
.
I haven't written any licence agreement for my nineliner,
so you're free to do what you want with it
(as long as you don't pretend somebody else than me has done it)
All source code I recieve will be credited to its correct owner. However I may improve any code I recieve to make a better/faster program out of it, but the origional creator will still be credited with the base work.
I'm gonna see if I can get DOS now.
