Programming with Qbasic?

Xian · Post by **Xian** » 8 Oct 2003, 10:44

Is there any guy in this forum who is programming in Qbasic? I learned a little some time ago and I will start again and try to learn more. Maybe someone can help me? Or start together with me?

I did some when I bought my computer and even programmed one game.

screen 12;
print "Hi";

Correct? Actually I remember nothing anymore and should review a bit.

Actually it's just:

SCREEN 12
PRINT "Hi"

Not ";" in the end of the line.
Though it's possible to use ";" after PRINT "Hi", but it's not necessary. If you put ";" there, it means that the cursor doesn't go to the next line (so if you make another print command, it will be on the same line, not below the "Hi").
And that SCREEN 12 isn't really necessary either, it just changes the screen mode, but if you just want to print "Hi" it really isn't necessary to change that.

Oh yeah, I've programmed something small with QBasic, but it really sucks. It's easy to learn and use, but it's so slow and you'll always go out of memory so you can't do anything big with it.
