Hehe, there are lots of cool things you can do in BASIC that you might never even think of O.O I just can't think of any at the moment...
Scrolling tilemappers that use Pics for map data, anyone?

Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Now I want to see what I can do O.O I remember I used to store strings to pictures by storing 19 letters to a row (I used 5 pixels to determine which of 32 chars to use and vice versa). So I would get 1197 characters out of 767 bytes instead of 1208 bytes :)

Can anyone think of why my first game ever made with basic has totaly had its code messed up? I deleted it cuz it was so simple  but it was totally screwed up.

Maybe that's another doors related problem....

What assembly programs or apps did you run?

If that was all you had, that was probably what corrupted it :/

Doors and axe are my only programs. If this is another doors, I'm switching to another shell.

In any event, it is very likely not the fault of the OS or the program XD That is the best part about BASIC-- you usually have to know some really advanced stuff to make it cause a glitch or a crash :)

Nice. At one point, I was playing with the idea of doing an RPG in BASIC that would use Pics for all long term data storage. I even had an inventory system based off Illusiat 13's, and a rudimentary sorting system for it. But that's all long gone, unfortunately.

It's a very simple game. Just move a plus sign around and collect pies. (3.14 pies)

I did that! In one of my first RPG's I stored EVERYTHING to a picture for save data. I even let the user make custom sprites for their character (they could only view it in the stats menu). I felt so clever when I realised I could use the pixels as powers of 2, then I learned that was called binary XD

EDIT: @epic7: That probably didn't cause a crash then XD

Idk... Well my opening title screen doesn't work

For(x,-10,5,1.5
Line(-10,-10,10,X
Line(10,-10,-10,X
End
That used to work, but not anymore D:
Unless I changed it.. Idk since I forgot how most of the draw commands work in basic now :P


Parser, I envy you since you have recieved the honor of having a topic stickied. :P

Maybe your screen dimensions were changed? Check the values under WINDOW and see if the Line() commands fall within the screen.
