You need to set your screenmode for graphics.  Screen 0 (the default one) is text only.

still not drawing
just correct the code using simple programming as I'm no pro

Try do this easiest way.


Code: [Select]
REM Developed in QBasic by Omer B. Hijazi
REM Date: 1/4/2020
REM Etch a Sketch

SCREEN 12
COLOR 15
X = _WIDTH / 2
Y = _HEIGHT / 2

DO

    LOCATE 6, 28: PRINT "Use arrow keys to draw"
    LOCATE 7, 28: PRINT "Home to move drawing point"
    LOCATE 8, 21: PRINT "Del(ete) button to clear the screen"
    LOCATE 9, 34: PRINT "End to end"


    k& = _KEYHIT
    SELECT CASE k&
        CASE 18432: Y = Y - 1
        CASE 19200: X = X - 1
        CASE 20480: Y = Y + 1
        CASE 19712: X = X + 1
        CASE 21248: CLS
        CASE 18176: SYSTEM
    END SELECT
    PSET (X, Y)
    SELECT CASE X
        CASE IS <= 0: X = 1
        CASE IS >= _WIDTH: X = _WIDTH
    END SELECT
    SELECT CASE Y
        CASE IS <= 0: Y = 1
        CASE IS >= _HEIGHT: Y = _HEIGHT
    END SELECT
LOOP UNTIL _KEYDOWN(20224) = -1
SYSTEM

or this, using _KEYDOWN + support pressing direction arrows simultaneously for oblique drawing (up and left arrow can be used simultaneously and so on):

Code: [Select]
REM Developed in QBasic by Omer B. Hijazi

    LOCATE 6, 28: PRINT "Use arrow keys to draw"
    LOCATE 7, 28: PRINT "Home to move drawing point"
    LOCATE 8, 21: PRINT "Del(ete) button to clear the screen"
    LOCATE 9, 34: PRINT "End to end"

    _LIMIT 20
    IF _KEYDOWN(18432) AND NOT _KEYDOWN(19200) THEN Y = Y - 1
    IF _KEYDOWN(19200) AND NOT _KEYDOWN(18432) THEN X = X - 1
    IF _KEYDOWN(19200) AND _KEYDOWN(18432) THEN Y = Y - 1: X = X - 1

    IF _KEYDOWN(20480) AND NOT _KEYDOWN(19712) THEN Y = Y + 1
    IF _KEYDOWN(19712) AND NOT _KEYDOWN(20480) THEN X = X + 1
    IF _KEYDOWN(19712) AND _KEYDOWN(20480) THEN Y = Y + 1: X = X + 1


    SELECT CASE _KEYHIT
        CASE 21248: CLS
        CASE 18176: SYSTEM
    END SELECT
    PSET (X, Y)
    SELECT CASE X
        CASE IS <= 0: X = 1
        CASE IS >= _WIDTH: X = _WIDTH
    END SELECT
    SELECT CASE Y
        CASE IS <= 0: Y = 1
        CASE IS >= _HEIGHT: Y = _HEIGHT
    END SELECT
LOOP UNTIL _KEYDOWN(20224) = -1
SYSTEM

thanks but what about my code what was wrong with it
and btw plz add the home button for moving the drawing point
example:
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. 2 IF _KEYDOWN(18432) = -1 THEN
  2.     Y = Y + 1
  3. ELSEIF _KEYDOWN(19200) = -1 THEN
  4.     X = X - 1
  5. ELSEIF _KEYDOWN(20480) = -1 THEN
  6.     Y = Y - 1
  7. ELSEIF _KEYDOWN(19712) = -1 THEN
  8.     X = X + 1
  9. ELSEIF _KEYDOWN(21248) = -1 THEN
  10.     CLS
  11. ELSEIF _KEYDOWN(18176) = -1 THEN
  12.     GOTO 1
  13. ELSEIF _KEYDOWN(20224) = -1 THEN
  14.     SYSTEM
  16. PRESET (X, Y)
by using preset for drawing in no color

This is pretty cool. I like the home key no draw function, except that I can't really tell where my insertion point is. Never had that on the original etch-a-sketch.

An Etch-A-Sketch watch has been around for decades.

Might be the perfect tool to write/display "Will you marry me?" for a geek.

It works better if you plug it in.

Hi killer,

Are you aware of the DRAW command? you might find it interesting. It's like a very fancy Etch-A-Sketch with code.
