Curious.

Originally, the "text" was slightly "clipped" at the top, so yes it happed to me as well. I then repositioned the text "locate 5,5"

I tried it my Linux machine, after downloading the font and including a file path, it printed just fine after relocating the text. Unusual part was the normal "Press any key to continue" was printed way off the left hand side of the screen and only displayed the last "e" of the word continue in the bottom left corner. Bit odd...

I remember seeing an error something like this earlier this week. Unfortunately, I din't give it much mind, as it was late at night and figured I must have done something wrong. I'm using Linux Mint 18.1 (64 bit). I cannot remember which program I had loaded into QB64  or even if it was QB64 itself. I'm sorry I cannot be of more help. Which program caused the crash?

Nothing really specific. Since the advent of Basic, the number of reserved words (commands, functions, whatever they are called), have increased in number greatly. I know I could probably work my way through the "Help Index" but I've done before learning Locomotive Basic for the Amstrad. THAT took a LONG time to learn that way.... There were no Forums; No clubs; No help. Just my User's Manual. There are way more years behind me than ahead, so learning 'alphabetically' like that again, will use more time than I can afford.... *sigh*

My Grandkids like games. Mario-style and anything that blows stuff up. So perhaps endless side scrollers; Space shooters (Space Invaders; Galaxians etc). They are starting to learn Scratch and will hopefully, one day, lead them to making their own stuff. Yeah. So fun, no real thinking required, games would be the shot.

Tutorials about making games would be ideal. Similar to petesqbsite.com (http://petesqbsite.com/sections/tutorials/gamedesign.shtml) but geared for QB64... Stuff like that... (apologies to Admin for including the link - had no other way to explain it...)

No pressure, eh? lol

Can I encourage the Administrator to add a sub forum dedicated to those of us that are 'still learning'?

I have seen some of the 'sample programs', and yes I can learn stuff by picking them apart, but just posting the program or picking it apart, will not tell me 'how and why' it works. If not a forum, then perhaps, a collection of links that other users can recommend.

In the meantime there are a lot of posts on this site to read... cool.

As a "newbie" to this site, and there does not appear to be an option to access a "user control panel", would I be correct in assuming that the function will be available after 1.) a period of time or 2.) after a set number of posts? Am I warm? lol
