EDIT: Make a game in 10 lines or less.

[PlayGGY]

Rules:

Pure QB
No externel files (for graphics, etc)
Must be 10 lines or less
No : (except for line labels)

Here we (or I...) go!

(I tried making it with 5, but it is impossible)

[Atom Ant]

Ooh, I'll do this, just as soon as I make a game for my challenge.

[andy]

Code:

'this is an amazingly fun game - not.
'press enter when the screen chages colour
'you may need to change the numbers depending on the speed of your system
1 : SCREEN 13
2 : RANDOMIZE TIMER
3 : FOR a = 1 TO INT(RND * 10000000) + 5000000
4 : NEXT
5 : LINE (0, 0)-(320, 200), 5, BF
6 : DO
7 : khb$ = INKEY$
8 : b = b + 1
9 : LOOP UNTIL b = 80000 OR khb$ = CHR$(13)
10 : IF b = 80000 THEN PRINT "You lose" ELSE PRINT "You win"

[PlayGGY]

Hahaha...

God job!

I am working on one that has no flicker, a border, and is synchronized so it runs the same speed on different computers.

[PlayGGY]

Well, I have to shave 6 lines off of mine, but so far mine has 0 flicker, runs the same speed on every computer, has a border around it's screen, and notifies you if you lose. The game itself is sort of like Pong. But it is 16 lines!! This'll be hard.

[whitetiger0990]

heres mine

Code:

' Stop the number with the space bar and try to get within 100 away from 2500!
1 CLS
2 SCREEN 13
3 FOR i = 1 TO 5000
4 LOCATE 1, 1
5 PRINT i
6 IF INKEY$ = CHR$(32) THEN EXIT FOR
7 NEXT
8 IF 2500 - i > -100 AND 2500 - i < 100 THEN PRINT "YAY, you got within 100!" ELSE PRINT "Haha you lose"

andy: with yours you can press etner before the screen changes and win
edit: heres another =P

Code:

'press space when the numbers are next to eachother
1 CLS
2 FOR s = 0 TO 74
3 FOR i = 1 TO 5
4 IF i = 1 THEN LOCATE 10, 1 + s ELSE IF i = 2 THEN PRINT 1 ELSE IF i = 3 THEN LOCATE 11, 75 - s ELSE IF i = 4 THEN PRINT 2 ELSE IF i = 5 THEN t = TIMER
5 NEXT i
6 DO
7 LOOP UNTIL TIMER - t >= .0001
8 IF INKEY$ = CHR$(32) THEN EXIT FOR
9 NEXT s
10 IF 75 - s = 1 + s THEN PRINT "YOU WIN" ELSE PRINT "YOU LOSE"

That was cool whitetiger I liked :bounce:

This one is 11 lines, I can't see anyway of getting it down to 10. Its a hangman game with only 3 different words in it (although more could be added without increasing the line count), the game will continue even after you have won or lost, just press ctrl+break after the "game over" or "you win" message appears.

Code:

1 FOR i = 0 TO 9
2 IF i = 0 THEN RANDOMIZE TIMER ELSE IF i = 1 THEN DIM w$(3) ELSE IF i = 2 THEN DIM g(8) ELSE IF i = 3 THEN SCREEN 7 ELSE IF i = 4 THEN w$(1) = "word" ELSE IF i = 5 THEN w$(2) = "qbasic" ELSE IF i = 6 THEN w$(3) = "game" ELSE IF i = 7 THEN n = INT(3 * RND + 1) ELSE IF i = 8 THEN LOCATE 2, 2 ELSE IF i = 9 THEN PRINT STRING$(LEN(w$(n)), "-")
3 NEXT
4 FOR i = 0 TO 4
5 IF i = 0 THEN LOCATE 20, 1 ELSE IF i = 1 THEN INPUT "Guess: ", k$ ELSE IF i = 2 THEN p = INSTR(w$(n), k$) ELSE IF i = 3 THEN IF p > 0 AND g(p) = 0 THEN GOSUB 9 ELSE h = h + 1
6 NEXT
7 IF h = 1 THEN CIRCLE (50, 50), 11, 15 ELSE IF h = 2 THEN LINE (50, 60)-(50, 80), 15 ELSE IF h = 3 THEN LINE (40, 70)-(60, 70), 15 ELSE IF h = 4 THEN LINE (50, 80)-(40, 90), 15 ELSE IF h = 5 THEN LINE (50, 80)-(60, 90), 15 ELSE IF h = 6 THEN LINE (50, 30)-(50, 40), 15 ELSE IF h = 7 THEN PRINT "Game Over"
8 GOTO 4
9 FOR i = 0 TO 5
10 IF i = 0 THEN LOCATE 2, 1 + p ELSE IF i = 1 THEN PRINT MID$(w$(n), p, 1);  ELSE IF i = 2 THEN g(p) = 1 ELSE IF i = 3 THEN l = l + 1 ELSE IF i = 4 THEN IF l = LEN(w$(n)) THEN PRINT " You Win!" ELSE ambiguity = 1 ELSE IF i = 5 THEN RETURN
11 NEXT

Good job getting it down to eleven. The hard part is making the word random.

Mine is 16 lines, and is a real-time pong sort of game. What I have so far is:

No flicker
All of the physics
A "You lose" screen
Same speed for each computer regardless of how good the computer is
Control over the paddle

BUT IT IS 16 LINES!!!

I will have to be really creative here. It is as compressed as much as I can... :???:

[LooseCaboose]

The hard part is making the word random

It is random, on the second line there is a randomize timer statement so that the random numbers are different each time, the word number is n, on the second line there is a n = int(3 * rnd + 1), so n is a random number between 1 and 3.

Mine is 16 lines, and is a real-time pong sort of game.

Post what you have so far, someone else might be able to help cut the line number down.
