Letâs get this thing dead-seriously straight here, NOW! ;) - Adigun A. Polack - 09-24-2004 To Nemesis once again: Quote:Adigun... Now THAT is what I plain wanted to hear, at least from you. !! I mean, over the past couple of years since my first QuickBASIC Caliber Programming Compo back in 2002, I had *quite* a number of people saying to me âAAP, your compo SUCKSâ and ânow I know why people donât go to your compos!â and all of that like that (only a lot horribly worse like you would not even believe at all, whether directly or indirectly), and I can painfully remember that they are without a doubt in my life just as so plain disgustingly maddening ( :x ! ) and traumatically depressing ( !! ) to me as ever it ainât even funny period, you know, especially when I pointed Antoni yesterday about the specifics about one of the rules! Itâs like, âHUH!? :???: â! I mean, all I was trying to point out to him was to show him this following example which was: Code: ' Translucent Plasma by Antoni Gual .........and it is just as doable as ever, without any excuses. Had that been done in the first place within his coding on that, I DEFINITELY would have *so* gladly ( ! ) accepted his entry!! PERIOD, END OF THE CONVERSATION, and I am not even about to argue about it at all, please (as I honestly hate arguing myself, really! :wtnod: ! ). Personally, I have gone through not one, BUT TWO (2) depressions in a row from over one single month within this past summer, and speaking for myself (at least), I am not gonna dampen this original challenge of mine presented here at QBasicNews.com. EVER AT ALL. I just want to encourage and inspire people indeed, especially through this! Has it *ever* been totally wrong for me to do or worth me regretting myself over? Of course not, as I can just spread the joy to you and so many others and the joy that I usually get back in return, all by doing that, whether I feel the exact opposite or not, really! I mean, as nothing even less a human being that I am, I am at least rather dead-seriously bold enough to sneak in forward and say that I do not expect just _all_ people to be pleased with me for/on what I do on challenges like this â whether through my rule making or not â even if I am learning to do something right and true around here, you understand that, my man? Anyway, I thank you richly more on that now!! ^_^=b ! (Getting more and more teary-eyed in what I am about to say here.) And to you, Antoni (and do listen up to what I am about to say, please): I do not normally get teary-eyed in my posts, but I absolutely do not even care to argue with anyone, not even you as well, Antoni Gual. I mean, you do not have to even enter any more of the challenge if you do not want to. No one is forcing you, not even yours truly myself. Pardon me so deeply, I was rather mad only at the negative persecution against my compos, not you. :*) And look, I do not see you as a bad person at all, but rather as a good, wonderful person. ! The end. And not only that, but as well, you are also a valuable member of the QB45/QB71 community just like I am continually learning to be, man. Sure I know I may feel like I am getting on your nerves *a lot* here, and that I feel like I am point-blank ashamed for even putting on this challenge, and that I felt (from recent months ago) like I was gonna throw away my whole entire QBCPC for changing the rules back in July 2004, BUT, I have tried my very best to reach more and more of the QB45/QB71 community and you in a positive way. I never came to get harmed or to dampen you in any way at all. After all, I just had to put the challenge and the QBCPC out to bless you all and to make you and people happy in such a revolutionary and encouraging way. I am leaving my rules on this challenge right where they are, but hey, Antoni, if there is anything anywhere rashly wrong that I said to you, I am *so* sorry for that on purpose, really. !! Please forgive me. By the way, I thank you for liking my fire-based 7-liner. I appreciate it so much. ! Now, if you both will excuse me please, I will *seriously* recover myself (plus my emotions as well). And all the while now, we will get right back to the challenge, and letâs just play this straight on through. See you later now, and to people who have not entered this one yet, let us see your wonderful 7-liners. - Adigun Azikiwe Polack One of the Founders of âAura Flowâ Continuing Developer of âFrantic Journeyâ Current Developer of âStar Angelic Sluggerâ Webmaster of the âAAP Official Projects Squadâ UPDATE (From the evening of Sunday, September 26, 2004 at 10:59pm EST): All of you, listen up!! ! I just got done my very latest 7-liner tonight, and wait âtill you run this one, people, so please do not fail to take a good gaze at it which is right here: Code: 'F L O W I N G S E A , S T A R R Y D U S K And I did it *all* for you and ONLY you, just âcause I love you. Period. There, how do you like that, huh? ! QB text-based graphical screensaver in *just* 7 lines. - KiZ - 09-27-2004 Adigun, I really like your last creation =D You did a very good job of representing the scene that you set out to show! I really like the water and the star effects! Great for only 7 lines =) Keep up the good work! Rather well said and then some, Dark_prevail!!! ^_-=b !! - Adigun A. Polack - 09-27-2004 To Dark_prevail: Quote:Flowing Sea, Starry Dusk[/i]â, you actually no less than"]Adigun, I really like your last creation =D You did a very good job of representing the scene that you set out to show! I really like the water and the star effects! Great for only 7 lines =) Hey, I want to SPLENDIDLY thank you on that great and encouraging comment, my fine man!!! ! You know, I have worked so hard and true on that creation from yesterday *mostly* at a time when my monitor suddenly changed from an RGB (Red-Green-Blue) color combination to just no more than an RB (Red-Blue) color combination and stayed there for a while. Fortunately for all of us and me as well, just a day or two before the project first began, I have in advance prepared my own custom EGA color chart from which I have assembled and customized the actual order of the EGA colors that you get in Screen 0 in ANY text mode through the very use of the âPaletteâ command in QuickBASIC/QBasic. Have a look, please (and learn something!): Perhaps this will hopefully inspire you and others in choosing your colors for your future entry or whatever you want to do with your text mode, you understand me now? ;*) ! Continuing on on the development of my screensaver 7-liner from yesterday, Dark_prevail, choosing the color combinations (especially the âGreenâ-based ones, too!) would NOT have been an easy feat at all while the monitor was in an RB color combination state at the time that I was working on it, BUT, with Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7 and the dropper tool being used with the dropper itself placed over the color(s) of the text within the sheet that you see just above in this post (in order for the exact RGB coordinates to be shown, thank God!! ), it made my life a _whole lot_ easier on that creation, really!!! !! Otherwise, I would quite have had a truly hard time and would also have potentially worried myself about which exact colors for me to use! However, praise God Almighty that the right color choices have been so wisely made in the midst of that monitor RB color combination. No ifs, ands, or buts about that!! And now as of currently, the project entitled âFlowing Sea, Starry Duskâ, is now FINISHED AT LAST!!! ! It took me around 6-8½ hours for the thing to be done, man. This is one of the very crystal-clear reasons why my TRUE motives are showing in the right and positive direction, and boy, they do speak *a whole lot* louder volumes than just what was being said from within this thread, you know that? And not only that, but also such positive comments like yours DEFINITELY inspire me and helps out other people to encouragingly come along for the fun, whether it is your latest entry for this challenge, or the QuickBASIC Caliber Programming Compo (current one is QBCPC 2004/2005!), or what have you now!! ^-^ !! You know what, praise God for you, my man Dark_prevail, and I sure would hope to accept your entry into the challenge (just read the rules and my example there at the beginning of this thread to get the idea about how this challenge works, please!). Be seeing you later!! ^_^=b !

QB text-based graphical screensaver in *just* 7 lines. - na_th_an - 09-28-2004 palette colours are easy to calculate, you don't need a table: Quote:the 64 attributes are combinations of two of these eight colours (y'know: 8 x 8 = 64): black, blue, green, cyan, red, magenta, yellow and white. These are ordered like this: Every attribute is (colour1)*8 + colour2, where colour1 and colour2 range from 0 to 7 (black, blue, green, cyan, red, magenta, yellow and white, resp.) The resulting colour is some kind of 33% colour1 and 66% colour2 (more or less ). You can, anyhow, assign *any* VGA 18 bits colour value: http://faq.qbasicnews.com/?blast=PaletteInScreenNine Very good, Na_th_an!! Very good!!! ^_-=b ! - Adigun A. Polack - 10-02-2004 To Na_th_an: I have recently taken a good look at your âPalette in Screen 9â tutorial for QBasicNews.com (and even added it to âMy Favoritesâ as well! ), and it has impressed me to where I can really work on the custom colors of any text- or graphics-based EGA project in QB where a palette of 64 colors turns into approximately a possible 262,144 of them ( :o ! ), all while *still* using the 16 displayable colors. Man, you do great work, and I would quite recommend your article, Na_th_an!! ! Thank you so much for your truly fine piece of advice!!! :king: !! - Adigun Azikiwe Polack One of the Founders of âAura Flowâ Continuing Developer of âFrantic Journeyâ Current Developer of âStar Angelic Sluggerâ Webmaster of the âAAP Official Projects Squadâ UPDATE (From the afternoon of Tuesday, October 12, 2004 at 3:46pm EST): Attention please, everybody! I have just got done my sixth and ALL-NEW original screensaver in QB text mode to inspire you all even further than ever!! I sure hope you all are plain ready for this! !! Code: 'G R A S S L A N D S U N D E R T H E S T A R S I promise you richly that you will enjoy this one indeed, I guarantee you that! UPDATE #2 (From the afternoon of Wednesday, October 20, 2004 at 1:18pm EST): In addition to that, I want to let you all know so something, as this is *very* important here. Listen to me now, please! Just from yesterday afternoon or a bit before that, I had gotten a fresh and awesome idea that is TOTALLY out of the ordinary as to what my next 7-liner is gonna be: parallax-scrolling in textmode!! =b !! So, with that already deeply embedded in my head, here now is my seventh (and definitely mind-blowing!!!) original screensaver for this challenge: Code: 'C H A M B E R S O F M O L T E N M A G M A Praise God Almighty that He has inspired me to do this one to in turn inspire you all, and I hope you intensely marvel this one real good now, you understand? ;*) ! |
