QB Express Issue #9 Finally Available

[Pete]

Yes folks, the APRIL issue of QB Express is finally available! Sorry about the delay -- but I'm sure you'll agree that it was worth the wait.

This issue features nine tutorials, four game reviews, several editorials, all the latest QB / FB news. The tutorials include "I.F. Games Chapter 4" by Na_th_an, Accepted DOS Color Usage by MystikShadows, Optimizing Your Game by Jonathon Wallace, a Simple Basic Interpreter tutorial by Vincent Peters, Effective ASCII Development by MystikShadows, "Conditional Compilation and You" by aetherFox, "Custom Windows Icons for your FreeBasic Programs" by Adigun A. Polack, and two tutorials on Commercial and Professional Application Development by MystikShadows.

The reviews this month cover Larry The Dinosaur 2, Robo Raider and The Quest For Opa Opa (twice). There is also a "Where Are They Now?" interview with Jorden Chamid, "Cue Basics" by Mike Wechsler, and "Random Musings of a QBasic Game Programmer" by Deleter.

All this and more in Issue #9 of QB Express!

It's about time :d

Good job, and we all know you do this for free, and I do, and everyone else hopefully really appreciates this.

Time for a read.

[aetherfox]

Argh still it doesn't render properly in Firefox...

How about a PDF version?

[EDIT]

Also, there is a lot of misinformation in the review of Opa Opa by Joseph Burke - Na_th_an created the majority of the music for the game.

I was supposedly out of this site, but I can't help it, I have to write this in here.

Oh my god, this is one of the cases when actions speak for themselves. This is so funny that I couldn't stop my loud laughing (I'm at work!) when I was reading the review. Man I suspected you were a bit immature, but now I know it for sure that you are the most immature person I've met in this forum. Lol, the most funny thing is that you even spent some time writing a review. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

Oh my god. I can't stop it. This was so fuc king funny.

For the next issue i'll write a review about sonicx in the same therms. In fact, I won't, 'cause I'm not 5 years old anymore. Now that I come to think about it, it would have been lame even back then.

Keep behaving like a retard, you'll gain lots of respect, pimp.

This post still hasn't shown up in the main QBNews forum, or on the front page. It's invisible to me (since I'm not a mod)... what's the deal?

The only way I can get to it is by clicking the "view latest post" button on the main forum page...and it redirects me here.

[na_th_an]

I've tried to validate it in several ways but lately I'm having problems. I'll PM an admin if I can't. I'll keep trying.

Sorry, I forgot to congratulate you for your efforts. This is a great issue full of nice contents.

[Pete]

Yeah, according to Dav, the news validation script is not working. I tried resubmitting this news post and it also didn't work. Hopefully Wildcard will be able to take care of it.

[Fling-master]

After reading that joke of a review, I don't think that this Joseph Burke should be reviewing anything anymore. I really liked the final comments though lol... With his way of thinking I'd imagine that he'd say I'm wasting my time with C++ by writing anything but a highly sophisticated 3D game with all the latest technology.

EDIT: Bah! Forgot! Great work Pete!

[gunder]

Good job Pete. I didn't know about this magazine until issue 8 came out. I found the magazine, this site and FB all at the same time .. that was a good day . Great job though, I have a couple ideas that I might turn into articles and submit, we'll see.

Nice issue pete, but i think you should break it up into different pages rather than putting everything on a single page! It take a lot of time to load for 56kers
