Wow B+ nice game! Wouldn't help me that good though because my short term memory has been super bad since my head injury decades ago lol. I think I'm going to convert an old ASIC game called Alphabet Invaders to QB64. :)

Thanks guys, should be easy to modify colors, add more buttons for letters and digit pairs...  I don't know about pointy ears though. ;-))

Well what do you know!?

fine changing color of back of boxes! It can be another item of the menu!

@Pete
but do you  use C++ to hacking Bplus code?

bplus,

Not exactly the shade of blue I was expecting, but blue none the less... Cool...

Now... about the letters.... How is your ancient Samarian? lol

TempodiBasic, that's quite a mod! longer than the original program that took some time!

I did have in mind a mod myself, not quite Sumarian... :)

Oh. What about Klingon? Vulcan will do in a pinch (no pun intended) but, if you settle for Romulan, your punishment will be to memorise all the Ferengi Laws of Acquisition...

Please what do you mean with sumarian?
Sumerian http://www.ilsapere.org/wp-content/uploads/bfi_thumb/sumeri-1-33i7zodpx38ur4jhrymnsw.jpg
or somariano (dummy or donkey) http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WnfOoV8iYpc/UycT2mfxmsI/AAAAAAAAAY4/ygQu51cLbUw/s1600/donkey-821x1024.jpg
:D

If you like, you can short my mod and make it fine to you  building more SUB and Function at the place of write the same code anywhere, moreover you can use a k-ed position on X an Y for the menu items to click. And a record type to store Topten in file.
Just as you prefer.
;-)
Thanks to give a look.

Sumarian, Samarian, there is a difference?

Apparently so: https://www.quora.com/Is-Sumerian-the-same-thing-as-Samaritan... wait that's Samaritans, sa-martians???  :D those we learned about from Bible (the good one) and Ancient Aliens program ;-))

Hi TempodiBasic,

The top ten list is great for games of competition, IMHO not so hot for this little app. For me, scores quickly go down with repetition of play because I start to confuse letters in position 1 or 2 games ago.

The code you started might be generalized so one could add it to any great games program along with a sort to put scores from high to low... wait was that already in there? Also I would score times to complete a board of n matches.

what weight do you think to give to the time used to complete a level?
do you like a formula as scoreTimeBonus = Premium/timePassed and/ or use scoreTimeBonus as multiplier of total score of the match (that is always the same)?

Nice hack, Pete :-D
