Here is the Calendar Maker program I've worked on in the last couple days. I'm 99.9% sure it is finished. I know I could have done it differently and not used LOCATE on my numbers and holidays, but with the math I used and the loops, and all the hard work I did to make things fit in the boxes, I'm just going to leave it like this. If you use it enough, you might come across holiday names that don't look centered at all, but I'm just going to leave it like this. This is the first calendar program I've ever made. Thank you to B+, SMcNeill, and euklides for your help. I added your names to the code at the top. I find it pretty neat how you can use this program to go from the mid-1700's to 9999. You can also make one of the month you were born. You also can save the calendars as JPG pictures, with a different name for every month and year. I say in the welcome screen that you can use Windows Paint or any other graphics program to print it out. I printed out the month I was born. :) You also can use this program to use it as a tool to print them out and write tiny reminders for certain days. I thought about adding that to the program, but I don't know enough about making data files to do that. I would end up making a separate data file for every single reminder and that would be a mess. Plus I feel pretty confident that this is complete for me and I finally made a neat calendar maker. Of course anyone can use the code and expand on it from here if they wish. But please try it out. I suggest putting it in a separate directory so you can find your calendar JPG files easy. For example, the picture file for January 2000 would be made like this: 1-2000.jpg. I did it that way so they would line up in the Windows directory in order. Have fun with it!
P..S. Also, I know there's ways to print out pictures, and probably even rotate them first before you print them, but I haven't looked too much into that and I'm very cautious about printing graphics with my programs because twice so far I've printed 2 of them where it made the entire papers black, which is so much toner wasted in the printer.

(Note: As usual, this first paste isn't the best, so scroll down, thanks.)

Of course only available in the States for the holidays and national holidays.

Well done, and now the next steps would be :
- moon phase (% %)
- spring, summer autumn & winter days...
- day number 1... 365 (356)
- week number 1... 52 (53)
- julian date

In fact, when you work with making a calendar, there are a lot of complications !

Cool. Nicely done!

Jack002 · « **Reply #3 on:** August 05, 2019, 10:31:24 am »

Very cool. I once made a program that makes a calendar in HTML with tables. I was lazy and asked the user the number of days and what day the calendar starts on. I never put that in to automate that. This and mine would be an interesting combo.
[I have had a need for an html cal for years, its for a website I'm on]

Wow SAM never saw OUT before, watch OUT!

Looks like Ted Weissgerber code good for thumbnail sketches on screen, has complex Leap Year Calc and another Easter Calc.

LOL that's a cute little program. But it's not from 1988, it has a gmail address in the code and it mentions QBasic with the year 2010.

LOL that's a cute little program. But it's not from 1988, it has a gmail address in the code and it mentions QBasic with the year 2010.

It’s from 88, but has been translated a few times over the years. Clippy even has an Android version of it, somewhere, where it was translated to run on it. ;)

(Here’s a link to where he was talking about it back in 2008, over at the QBASIC forums: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/qbasic/how-calculate-week-number-t29545-s20.html)

The QBASIC forums go back 30 years, or so, but a lot of the older stuff is archived for historical preservation and disk storage, so it’s not exactly search friendly. 2008 is the oldest non-archived post I can find on his Calendos program, but he mentions it originated back in 88, and I have no real reason to doubt it. ;)

Well, I am (hopefully) minutes away from making this a GREAT calendar program. But I need help from you guys badly. It could be minutes from being completed, but the problem I ran into is that the program freezes after you print it out using the program (Yes, I added printing to it!). It saves and prints the first one fine. But then it asks you if you want to make another calendar, so it goes back to the first screen to do that and after you add both the year and month, it just sits there... does nothing... And I have no idea why. I've looked through the code and I'm tried testing it in a few places, etc. but can't figure it out. Have you guys ran into problems before where a printer freezes a program? If we can't fix this, I'll just remove the part where it asks if you want to make a new calendar after printing, and just make the program end. I added a lot to it. In order to make it print good calendars, I got code from the Wiki pages where an example shows how to flip a picture certain degrees, it originally says 360 degrees but I changed it to 90 so it would fit good on paper. If you have a printer, please try it out. You can watch the calendar being turned 90 degrees, is really cool. Anyway, any help is appreciated, and I want to thank B+ for telling me about PRINTSTRING, which I also changed to so now the numbers line up perfectly and the holidays fit a lot better. Tell me what you think, thanks. Remember, it makes them, saves them, and prints them fine the first time, but you can't even make one the second time. Oh, I also tried _FREEIMAGE on p& which is the screen the printer prints, but it won't let me do that for some reason, but it will let me do _FREEIMAGE on the picture itself. Could that be a problem? Having a SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(800, 900), p& overlapping the _SOURCE img& ? It's lines between 205 and 235. It might not be the problem though because it lets you go back to the front screen though to setup a new calendar. Although, could there be a conflict when you press enter and it makes another SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(800,600,32) for the new calendar? Also notice that the printer image doesn't use the last 32 number because it prints black all around the calendar, which looks neat but is too costly for toner. I wonder if that's a conflict though? Sorry for so many questions, this program just means a lot to me.

(Note: This version has an error in it, so please keep scrolling to my next one, thanks.)

Nope. It’s part of the SCREEN syntax.

SCREEN imagehandle& [, , active_page, visual_page]

Though I’m not exactly certain what the ,p& parameter represents.

https://www.qbasic.net/en/reference/qb11/Statement/SCREEN.htm

Color setting?

Doesn’t look like QB64 supports that parameter, which is why it lists the command as: SCREEN {mode%|imagehandle&} , , active_page, visual_page]

(See the comma comma with nothing between it?

SierraKen · « **Reply #12 on:** August 05, 2019, 10:58:37 pm »

Back when I made my Paint Pixels program, I took that has a variable that stores the entire screen to it so you can use it later. But I could be wrong.

Well, thanks to B+ I did it!!!!! I deleted the old printing code and used B+'s instead and it works great! Thank you and also to Euklides and SmMcNeill for the help in making this. On the start page, under "By Ken G." I added "With some help from the QB64.org forum guys!". Maybe it will attract programmers here sometime.
Now I got a fully-working Calendar Maker that makes any month from the mid 1700's to 9999. It labels some of the holidays, can save it as a .jpg file to your computer, and can print it to the printer! I'll put this on my website very soon, which is http://www.KensPrograms.com/
Save this program to its own directory so you can find all of your saved calendars easily. I hope some of you enjoy this and use it sometimes.

(Note: On the next page of this forum topic, I posted an even better version adding some more holidays and also the ability to use arrow keys to change months.)

Nope. It’s part of the SCREEN syntax.

SCREEN imagehandle& [, , active_page, visual_page]

Though I’m not exactly certain what the ,p& parameter represents.

https://www.qbasic.net/en/reference/qb11/Statement/SCREEN.htm

Color setting?

Doesn’t look like QB64 supports that parameter, which is why it lists the command as: SCREEN {mode%|imagehandle&} , , active_page, visual_page]

(See the comma comma with nothing between it?

Aha! now I get it, it's a part of SCREEN sub call, actually that line I have always been using makes more sense to me now. Thanks Steve.

Hi, Ken,

I thought you might like that change. :)
