[quote] |
|
Hi Guys,
I would like to start a new RPG development in Qbasic. I want to use this game to learn game programming, so what i mean is that i am a novice in this.
I can code in C,C++ and just learning Qbaisc... strange order I know, but yeah...
I can hardly do graphics, but I can learn and am learning. :)
So this is a help wanted post: anyone who wants to join in this attempt to create a game, please reply here.
Ya, i know there is no plot andal that... But I can assure you.. there will be one for sure.. how else will there be a game.
But since I want this to be a team effort, would like to see all members putting in their heads together and come up with something good.

Not to throw dirt on Qbasic but I would consider FreeBasic instead if I where you.
What kind of an rpg are you aiming at?

You claim you can code in C and C++, yet you want to program an RPG in QBasic, and you don't know QBasic. Hmm....
My advice is to pick an API to make your game with in C++.
If you're interested, I suggest learning Allegro.
You can use my articles to get started. I'll help you out any way I can.

But, if you still want to make an RPG with QBasic, I'll still help you.
Just PM me on this forum, or send me an email to ccpsceo@gmail.com.
Above all, goodluck.

Hehe - count me in. I haven't seen a post like this in ages!
How can I help? I can't contribute full time to a new project, but I should be able to help a little.

I can help with story, but I have no knowledge of QBASIC or any real video-game programming experience, graphics, music, etc. I'm a n00b like you, but a C++ n00b.

Freebasic drives me mad, lol.
The last time I gave it a proper try, it ran terribly slow. I had 3Ghz CPU with 2GB RAM...and it was still slow. I was not impressed with it.
I'll be fair and redownload it today, and give it another shot. I'll post my experience with it later today.

it is very simple.
here is a very basic example
| Code: |
#Include "allegro.bi"
allegro_init()
set_color_depth(16)
set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED,640,480,0,0)
install_keyboard
REM *** add your initialization code here ***
do
REM *** add your main loop code here ***
loop until key(KEY_ESC)
REM *** add your cleanup code here ***
remove_keyboard
END_OF_MAIN()
