Vintage Looks
« on: March 31, 2022, 06:35:09 am »
Fellows, I am playing with an absolute waste of time, but it is so much fun.
Other than my regular programming for windows in a whole different language.

Qb64 offers a lot to play with and i have set up a SCREEN 0 with 50x 160 screen size, running on fullscreen.
It looks a lot like the original QB in dos screens.

Those that remembers VBDOS, this is my eventual target.
Create a FORM that can be added to the project, dragged and closed and interacted with.
Just that for now.

The mouse part and drawing an initial block with details is simple, but how could one (in that text 0 mode) make something
act like a control, move it and so forth like was the case with vbdos?

It just shows how stupid drag and drop programming made me. I have no understanding of the core processes that makes things move, interact, and so forth.

Regards, -Pete

Welcome Petrus,

Another Pete AND Screen 0 fan, oh well, the more the merrier. :)

VB DOS was nice! Fellippe has a nice project called InForm on separate board in this Forum. Close to VB DOS but not integrated with IDE and certainly not Screen 0.
