that won't work becuse TIMER is only updated every full second so your little TIMER +.5 wont work.... mabey you should not mock people.  'cuase you are pretty dumb. (making fun of the last kid who responded with the lengthy and pointless code). No.  I need to make the delay less then a ful...

Acualy, no.  I thought that TIMER would only calculate the number of seconds (full seconds) past midnight.  I have seen in help that there is a such thing as TIMER ON and other such functions, but after experimenting with them, I have failed to find out how to use the functions... don't me...

For the past several months (about 13) I have been working on this game....  For the moment I am using a for loop to do the delay, but need a delay that is independent of the CPU speed (as most people have faster then my 300 Mhz K6)  I have  been looking threw my old ASM books and hav...

depending on the way your program works, you could just use two different veriables.

i need to translate a graphics array into a normal numaric (in base 10 (dec)) arry in order to finish my drawing program.  Does anyone know the layout?  I would use DOS's DEBUG program, but I don't realy know how to use it.

if nbtstat is your program, don't forget to use "Command$" to get the parameters you gave using the shell$ command (yup, shell is the only way to go).

if they are not compiled yet, make sure they are both saved as txt files and not binary.

use varpter$ and var seg...
varpter finds the offset, var seg finds the segment.

use the window command

"window screen (1,1)-(1000,1000)"

if you omit the "screen" the numbers will increase like a normal grid, with "screen" the numbering will be backwards like we are all used to in QB

I updated to qb71, it is much better, and solved my problem.  thanks!

it really is not that hard.  Learn to use the Screen, line, circle, put (graphics), get(graphics), and you are pretty much reddy to go.  I suggest using a drawing program to make your graphics, have the program save it in BSAVE format, and then use BLOAD to load it.  Email me if you w...

I have no idea what "liberty basic 3 workshop" is.  If you are just now beginning to program.  You should not be even thinking about liberarys though.  They are quit hard.  If you are talking about using the lib file.  You have to make it a quick liberary (.qlb) then change the command line to "qb /...

I have never heard of QB7.1, but if it is for DOS, it is probabley the same as QB4.5  You don't install it.  If you are using windows (as you are) just asosiat the "bas" extention with the program located werever you want and make a shortcut to it on your desktop or start menu.   I am...

I never thought of doing that, and; so I tried it.  It did not work, but if it did I don't think it would solve the problem because then they would need too much base memory.  If they were using windows then they would have no problem, since it emulates XMS and base memory with virtual mem...

So you can or can't make XMS the default segment?  Can you give me example code either way since I have no idea how to do it.  I have never had to acces exended memory or enything when using ASM so I don't know how it works or anything.

I tried that when I first encountered the problem and it did not work.  It did make it a little better, but I still don't have enough memory to compile.
