Hi
I find by googleing this file that is part of a more advanced version of QB that coming before QB PDS
its name is Qblock.bas

It is fine so I post it there as example about game programming.

Code: QB64: [Select]

'                                QBLOCKS.BAS

' Press Page Down for information on running and modifying QBlocks.
 
'
 
' To run this game, press Shift+F5.
 
'
 
' To exit this program, press ALT, F, X.

'                             -----------------
 
'
 
' There are many ways that you can modify this BASIC game.  The CONST
 
' statements below these comments and the DATA statements at the end
 
' of this screen can be modified to change the following:
 
'
 
'    Block shapes
 
'    Block rotation
 
'    Number of different block shapes
 
'    Score needed to advance to next level
 
'    Width of the game well
 
'    Height of the game well
 
'    Songs played during game
 
'
 
' On the right side of each CONST statement, there is a comment that tells
 
' you what it does and how big or small you can set the value.  Above the
 
' DATA statements, there are comments that tell you the format of the
 
' information stored there.
 
'
 
' On your own, you can also add exciting sound and visual effects or make any
 
' other changes that your imagination can dream up.  By reading the
 
' Learn BASIC Now book, you'll learn the techniques that will enable you
 
' to fully customize this game and to create games of your own.
 
'
 
' If the game won't run after you have changed it, you can exit without
 
' saving your changes by pressing Alt, F, X and choosing NO.
 
'
 
' If you do want to save your changes, press Alt, F, A and enter a filename
 
' for saving your version of the program.  Before you save your changes,
 
' however, you should make sure they work by running the program and
 
' verifying that your changes produce the desired results.  Also, always
 
' be sure to keep a backup of the original program.
 
'
 
DEFINT A-Z
 
' Here are the BASIC CONST statements you can change.  The comments tell
 
' you the range that each CONST value can be changed, or any limitations.
 
CONST WELLWIDTH = 10 ' Width of playing field (well).   Range 5 to 13.
 
CONST WELLHEIGHT = 21 ' Height of playing field.  Range 4 to 21.
 
CONST NUMSTYLES = 7 ' Number of unique shapes.  Range 1 to 20.  Make sure you read the notes above the DATA statements at the end of the main program before you change this number!
 
CONST WINGAME = 1000000 ' Points required to win the game.  Range 200 to 9000000.
 
CONST NEXTLEVEL = 300 ' Helps determine when the game advances to the next level.  (Each cleared level gives player 100 points) Range 100 to 2000.
 
CONST BASESCORE = 1000 ' Number of points needed to advance to first level.
 
CONST ROTATEDIR = 1 ' Control rotation of blocks. Can be 1 for clockwise, or 3 for counterclockwise.
 
' The following sound constants are used by the PLAY command to
 
' produce music during the game.  To change the sounds you hear, change
 
' these constants.  Refer to the online help for PLAY for the correct format.
 
' To completely remove sound from the game set the constants equal to null.
 
' For example:  PLAYINTRO = ""
 
CONST PLAYCLEARROW = "MBT255L16O4CDEGO6C" ' Tune played when a row is cleared.  Range unlimited.
 
CONST PLAYINTRO = "MBT170O1L8CO2CO1CDCA-A-FGFA-F" ' Song played at game start.  Range unlimited.
 
CONST PLAYGAMEOVER = "MBT255L16O6CO4GEDC" ' Song when the game is lost.  Range unlimited.
 
CONST PLAYNEWBLOCK = "MBT160L28N20L24N5" ' Song when a new block is dropped.  Range unlimited.
 
CONST PLAYWINGAME = "T255L16O6CO4GEDCCDEFGO6CEG" ' Song when game is won.  Range unlimited.
 
' The following CONST statements should not be changed like the ones above
 
' because the program relies on them being this value.

Dang! what's with all the blank lines! ?

' Press Page Down for information on running and modifying QBlocks.
'
' To run this game, press Shift+F5.

'                             -----------------
'
' There are many ways that you can modify this BASIC game.  The CONST
' statements below these comments and the DATA statements at the end
' of this screen can be modified to change the following:
'
'    Block shapes
'    Block rotation
'    Number of different block shapes
'    Score needed to advance to next level
'    Width of the game well
'    Height of the game well
'    Songs played during game
'
' On the right side of each CONST statement, there is a comment that tells
' you what it does and how big or small you can set the value.  Above the
' DATA statements, there are comments that tell you the format of the
' information stored there.
'
' On your own, you can also add exciting sound and visual effects or make any
' other changes that your imagination can dream up.  By reading the
' Learn BASIC Now book, you'll learn the techniques that will enable you
' to fully customize this game and to create games of your own.
'
' If the game won't run after you have changed it, you can exit without
' saving your changes by pressing Alt, F, X and choosing NO.
'
' If you do want to save your changes, press Alt, F, A and enter a filename
' for saving your version of the program.  Before you save your changes,
' however, you should make sure they work by running the program and
' verifying that your changes produce the desired results.  Also, always
' be sure to keep a backup of the original program.
'
DEFINT A-Z
' Here are the BASIC CONST statements you can change.  The comments tell
' you the range that each CONST value can be changed, or any limitations.
CONST WELLWIDTH = 10 ' Width of playing field (well).   Range 5 to 13.

CONST BASESCORE = 1000 ' Number of points needed to advance to first level.
CONST ROTATEDIR = 1 ' Control rotation of blocks. Can be 1 for clockwise, or 3 for counterclockwise.
' The following sound constants are used by the PLAY command to
' produce music during the game.  To change the sounds you hear, change
' these constants.  Refer to the online help for PLAY for the correct format.

Yes, nice program for it's tiny screen size don't like def seg and all the peak and poking. The play is good.

Oh! did not notice anything unusual with compile time, maybe because I am not compiling a bunch of blank lines? ;-))

I love it! Reminds me of the Tetris that a classroom of students made back in the 90's from QBasic. The teacher asked me to put it on my QBasic website back then so I did. :)

I remember this version... But somehow it looked a lot bigger on my old monitors.... Still a cool game!

Thanks Bplus to put out the real issue....
between the code posted by me and the code posted by you there are (3529-1004) 2525 blank lines!

Interesting issue.
So the compiler wastes its time compiling null strings of void lines of code. But who is the bad boy that passes all those null strings to the compiler?

I have read that compiler/interpreter jumps spaces and void lines... it seems no this time.
