Hi everybody.
I'm Daniel, 41 years old and terrible at programming in any language. (not for lack of trying, Just too Dyslectic)
But I have ideas and I often find someone to build it.
I still play a 1991 DOS race game (stunts) and that has an active (modding) community, but the few programmers there are short on time.
Is there anyone interested with helping in writing part of the new SETUP program for the game.
The basis is already written in Qbasic.
I need a Installer function. First just for the game (a relative simple copy form source to destination)
Later to be expanded to install and remove mods.
The game supports 32 cars (it came with 11) but we are getting close to 100 now,
we need a tool that can move cars (4 files each, 5 if we include a graphic or metadata) from the game dir to a garage and back.
A lot of information can be found on the forum (forum.stunts.hu)
So if anyone wants to program but is looking for a project.
I apologize if I offended anyone by my shameless request.
I'm just getting frustrated and feeling powerless.
Regards
Daniel

Hello world, hm, my name is Alain, i'm French (sorry if my english can be weird), so i would like to make the same display like this with a cursor :
![[Image: AncientHonorableHog-size_restricted.gif]](https://thumbs.gfycat.com/AncientHonorableHog-size_restricted.gif)
And i can do this "bas" file, now :
Code: _FULLSCREEN: SCREEN 9
DIM Text AS STRING
DIM Count AS INTEGER
DIM Start AS SINGLE
Text$ = "GREATINGS PROFESSOR FALKEN."
Curs$ = "Û"
COLOR 11, 0
CLS
gogo:
COLOR 11, 0
PRINT: PRINT
PRINT "";: INPUT "", A$
hop:
TIMER ON
FOR Count = 1 TO LEN(Text$)
Start = TIMER
COLOR 11, 0: PRINT MID$(Text$, Count, 1);
DO
LOOP UNTIL TIMER > Start + .01
NEXT Count
TIMER OFF
GOTO gogo
But, i don't know, how to diplay 'Curs$', after each letter of 'Text$', that the program display. And disappear at the end, to let the place for the cursor of the user...
Any idea to do that, please?
Thanks for your advice, and have a nice week 
Alain.

I have recently returned to Qbasic after many years.
I never used SUBs before but I am attempting to learn and use them as I think they will make the code cleaner.
I moved some code from the main code to a SUB and it appears labels or line numbers are not allowed in a SUB?
I looked in the help and I don't see any place in the documentation that says this will not work.
Can someone explain if I need to do something different or why this would not work?
Code: SUB init
KEY 16, CHR$(0) + CHR$(1)
ON KEY(16) GOSUB foo
KEY(16) ON
foo:
print "you did it"
END SUB
I get an error of "Label not defined" when I try to run the code.
Thank you for your help.

New forum looks nice! Um, anybody here though?
I was doing some nostalgia clicking, and I noticed QBOHO was in pretty bad shape:
http://www.qbasicnews.com/qboho/
I scraped that together years ago with a python script that parsed the rtf output of HELPMAKE.EXE and dumped it into a bunch of HTML files, which wildcard translated and uploaded. It used the IE-only "terminal" font, tables,   padding, and other horrors to replicate that loving "DOS" look, and it's all horribly broken now of course.
Nowadays browser support for Unicode, custom fonts, CSS, etc. is much better. Even the QuickHelp tooling is better. I found this C# tool which already converts quickhelp files to UTF-8 encoded HTML:
https://github.com/fancidev/DosHelp
So I wrote another Python script to reprocess that a bit further. I used one of the fonts from here:
https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/
And then packed everything into one CSS-only HTML page that uses anchor links to jump between topics, and the :target selector to show one topic at a time. Having only one page should make it a little easier to embed somewhere else. Sure, it's a 1.2MB but since it's all whitespace and English, that gzips down to 240kb. And the average webpage is 3MB so who cares?
Anyway, the result:
https://parkertomatoes.github.io/qboho/
https://github.com/parkertomatoes/parker...ster/qboho
Possible to get it updated here?
