Programs / Treasure from the past (DOS World)
« on: February 20, 2019, 03:21:32 am »
Hi guys,

I found a couple of diskettes containing a trove DOS World QBASIC programs.  I used to get DOS World magazine, and it looks like I saved these gems, but it would be a shame if they were lost to the sands of time, so I'm sharing them here.

Thanks,
Bob

QB64 Discussion / Local SUB/FUNC variable declarations
« on: February 05, 2019, 10:05:45 am »
Is it better to
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. SUB Foo
  2.     bar$ = "baz"
  4.  
Or
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. SUB Foo
  2.     DIM bar AS STRING
  3.     bar = "baz"
  5.

QB64 Discussion / Windows screensaver framework?
« on: January 31, 2019, 07:04:14 am »
One of the fun things about QB64 has always been making fun graphics demo, or just non-sense that looks cool.  What better way to enjoy the fruits of our efforts than by making it into a bona fide screensaver.  Unfortunately that code is going to be rather system specific, so lets build for the most popular desktop OS.

I'm just jumping into this for the first time, so any help or insight anyone has with Windows specific non-screen-0 stuff (Sorry Pete) would be greatly appreciated.

I found a C# tutorial, so I'm going to get that working someday, time permitting, and I have zero C# experience, so it could take a long minute.

I feel like this might be something we would want to pursue as a community, and I wanted to start with you guys before I even open an editor.

Thanks,
Bob
