Wow, that's neat. Haven't looked through the code just yet, just ran it, but thanks this might be a great starting point for me.

Re: How did you start learning?
Thanks for stopping by the thread guys, I appreciate it. From your second last thread I see you are interested in programming some kind of game? What have you done so far? JohnC Yes, the impetus for me wanting to learn programming is to program a game. Specifically, the end goal is to recreate (as b...

How did you start learning?
Hey folks, So, I've been posting some fairly specific questions in the Beginner section, but it occurred to me that asking this in the General section might be a good idea, in case some of you don't read the Beginner posts. When you started learning to program, how did you go about it? Did you... Sy...

Thanks for the detailed information. It looks like file i/o is indeed a lot more complicated than I thought it would be. So, I'll take the advice given and try to use functions, subs, and arrays to hardcode as much as I can. However, I'll have to put in some practice time with file i/o, because even...

Thanks guys, I had to look up a few commands and learned a bit more. Also, didn't know you could code functions before the main program, all the tutorials I've read had functions and subs at the end of the code. Cool beans. So, questions (remember, brand new to programming as well as FB) For some re...

Questions about Files
So far I understand using OPEN, CLOSE. I'm not so solid on the types of files (binary random) But here's what I'd like to accomplish: Have a line of data like this Weapon Dmg Speed ToHit Weight Integrity Edge Sword 1-8 4 1 2 10 10 And realistically I'm going to have a bunch of data lines like that f...

QB versus FB
So I'm willing to bet that this has been brought up before, so if this has been done to death already, please--link me to the best thread covering it. But here's the deal: I'm new to programming, and new to quickbasic and freebasic. Up until now I've been using the -lang qb feature in FB because the...

All right. Learned a lot in this thread! Combining what I learned, here's what I came up with. But, I'm having an error. For some reason, the DISPTOTAL section doesn't work. The program exits after the last run of the main loop. I've looked over it again and again. I snipped the code out and saved i...

Find lowest value in a set of variables
[using -lang qb] Let's say I have four variables, and assigned each one a random integer value. Var1% Var2% Var3% Var4% I want to find the lowest value, discard that variable, and sum the remaining three. Then, make a new variable (Total1%) with value set to the sum. I came up with a basic IF statem...

Hey Vince, good to meet ya. Getting to know FreeBASICs OOP (Object Oriented Programming) features will pretty much satisfy the majority of your list there. Where you create an object you will... Ya, I'm going to hold off on learning about object oriented stuff for now--I'm having enough of a challen...
