At Long Last: QB Express Issue #4!

[na_th_an]

I, the feedback whore, will send you Jill the Goddess. Isn't it too old for the Gallery Article?

Gimme green light and I'll send you tons of stuff this Sunday.

Pete: Would it be possible that I write an FX tutorial using FB?

[Piptol]

Pete: I will try and do "something". Maybe another interview or maybe "something else"

[Pete]

Na_th_an: The Gallery is for upcoming games... games that haven't come out yet. So Jill The Goddess wouldn't qualify. But if someone wants to write a review of your game, then I can feature it that way.

Relsoft: Yes, that would be cool -- since most of the QB community has gone bonkers about FreeBasic anyway... and the code will be QB-compatible anyway.

Piptol: Sounds great! I know many people really liked the interviews this month, so more interviews or "something else" would be great.


In other news, I just got word from Terry Cavanagh that he will be writing a tutorial for the upcoming issue. So you can expect to see that too.

Use FireFox? ;-)

Sorry I just couldn't resist hehehe.

there are more sites that don't render right in Firefox than sites that don't render right in IE, so I'll stick to IE.

I have never had a problem with firefox...
exept it can't detect a plugin on this one page...

However, I need to recruit MORE reviewers. So if you're at all interested in writing for QB Express, contact me! PM or email: pberg1 [at] gmail.com.

Well, I would like to write reviews. I like that kind of stuff. But since currently I don't own a PC, that's impossible. And before that I owned a 386, without a sound card and without a harddisk. So I was not able to play most of QB games.

I don't blame you about the lack of reviews. I'm just pointing out that there are people who are interested in them.

I just found out about another article.

19day will be writing a tutorial (series?) on PHP programming. I know it's not QB-related, but a lot of people in the Qmunity are interested in learning PHP. Also, I asked him to write it from a QB programmer's perspective.

Oh yeah, and I still need reviewers... I haven't heard from anybody yet, except for Oz who will be writing a review for this upcoming issue.

Pete, what tutorials would you like for your next issue?

[Pete]

Well, there's a list of what I expect to be getting above... but if you want to write something, by all means do it.

It's probably best if you come up with your own idea for a topic... but if you're looking for some inspiration, I made a list of ideas for new tutorials a few months ago. It's here:

Hey everybody...

The next issue of QB Express is a little over a week away!

I need people to start sending in their articles that they said they'd write this month. I'm also still looking for a program to feature in the Gallery, so if you've got a relatively new upcoming game that you think would make nice screenshots, send it on in to me!

Also, the latest compo ("Text Map Game") ends soon. I have STILL only received one entry for this even though I extended the contest for another month. Get those entries in ASAP!

Then there is another article that's been submitted: an article about Mobile Basic by Matthew R. Knight.

Anyway, even though a lot of people said they'd write stuff, I haven't actually received anything much at all. Just thought I'd provide a gentle reminder. (Send everything to pberg1 at gmail.com)
