Nice. I used to do some QBasic programming too. It was a pretty simple language but it was also a lot of fun. My 8th grade math class had this really old DOS machine with QBasic on it, and I remember there was an old SNAKE game included as one of the example programs. My friends and I would play on it every day after class (yeah, so what if there was another newer computer that had Tribes on it? I don't recall ever breaking into hysterical fits of laughter from playing Tribes :-) ). Then I started messing with the code and adding more levels and features and stuff (including the wallhack cheat! w00t!) I remember that there was another old DOS computer that my teacher used to enter grades, and the gradebook program apparently looked a lot like the QBasic interface. So one day, while my other classmates were busy using the other computers, I strolled over there and (with completely harmless intentions, I assure you) opened up QBasic. Then the teacher noticed, thought I was changing my grades or something, and I got into a whole mess of trouble before explaining that it was a misunderstanding. After that I preferred to use the other DOS computer :-) Ah, fun times. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

Don't worry C is easy really because its consistent. C++ and C are the are similar in ways but are fundamentally very different. Haha Zable! surely you mean nibbles.bas? Edited: 21 December 2004 08:53 You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

I wouldn't say C or C++ are that easy, but if you're 12, JayJay, then don't worry by the time you're my age you could potentialy be the John Carmack of your era.... Me_Mantis: Why do you wanna know? Are you looking for someone to help you with QBasic? 'Cuz I know a guy who'se nickname is QBasicer...!

Isn't John Carmack the guy who helped code Doom 1 and 2? his name sounds familiar in the credits...

Yup, that's him! Heh well he more than just "helped".... He was pretty much one of the main programmers and one of the main Engine-coders.... You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

Next to John Romero. (I remember hearing a rumor about playing the wakeup sound of the last boss backwards says "To Complete Doom, You must defeat me, John Romero!"

Correcto, but it wasn't a rumour, it's true. I've tried it. Extract the sound from the DooM2.wad IWAD and reverse it in Microsoft Sound recorder, and you'll clearly hear it say: "To Win The Game You Must Kill Me, John Romero".... B.T.W. I think Carmack was a bigshot himself and not really ever "in Romero's shadow".... You need to login to create posts in this thread. |
