Questions & Answers
+_QBasic_+?
How would I go about making a connect four game on QBasic 75?
QBasic! Long time since I thought about that. That's how I started programming about 15 years ago.
You didn't make clear what your knowledge on QBasic is. If you are just learning, don't start out trying to make the connect 4 game right away. You will need to take time learning the different functions and making simpler programs. Focus on moving graphics around the screen, since that's what you will need to know how to do to make your Connect 4 game.
If you do have a lot of knowledge on QBasic, I would first start out by creating the graphics. When the program starts, it should have a menu of some kind. I would use a pointer arrow above the game area which would be controlled with the arrow keys. Then when you hit enter, the piece drops into place. Calculate if they have won. If not, continue to the next player.
Just wondering though, why are you using such old software?
How do you get Qbasic on your computer>?
I cannot find anywhere on the internet to download Qbasic onto my computer. It would also be useful if someone could tell me how to connect it with Command Prompt so i can use it. Thanks.
If you have PC with MS-DOS 5.0 or later or Windows95 or WindowsNT; they all have QBasic.
If not, go to the source link below for instructions on getting "olddos.exe" from Microsoft.com (it contains Qbasic).
How do I start a qbasic program on Windows Vista?
I was searching for the qbasic program on my windows vista, but instead I found a program named "command prompt". How do I start the qbasic program in the command prompt?
Hi George,
The command prompt runs the "command shell", by which you can enter shell commands, which includes running, amongst other things, programs like qbasic.
Unfortunately, QBasic does not come with Window Vista. It was removed in Windows 2000.
Here's a Microsoft Knowlege Base article regarding the subject: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258265
Hope this helps.
