DOS Games Discussion

Blitz3D? Not free but you could download the demo and see if you like it. I have made stuff in BlitzPlus (2D) and it's pretty easy. http://www.blitzbasic.com/Products/blitz3d.php There's also DarkBASIC - there's a "lite" version you can try for free in that as well. http://darkbasic.thegam...

I don't think she'd do that for me, it would void the warranty.
But, I found out something; these manifest files are some-
thing I've never heard of and that might be the problem. Am
looking into it.

Could very well be something like that. Thanx.

Guess I won't waste anymore time on it.

It's just so frustrating, I've been working on it over 2 years,
and its almost finished, now this.

I need a new hobby!!

I thought MS-DOS was an operating system,
could you give me an example of DOS "code"?

Now don't bite my head off,

I'm just wondering what you are talking about,
I'm young and just learning, too.

That's the way to go, build it yourself and put whatever OS you like on it. :thumbsup: According to this article VB6 games should still work on Vista and I wish I knew why mine doesn't, tho. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vbrun/ms788708.aspx Oh, well, its only a game Thanx for the help peeps

Its was in 50's on Christmas and 31 on Easter....weather a little confused

Grew up in Buffalo, nothing better than our wings!!!

Yeah, I have no idea either.
Its aggravating! LOL

I had never heard of that
Virtual PC, I'll have her
try game on that. DOS
was fun, I like 98, but
nothing since.

Thanks for the suggestion!

If my game runs ok on Win98 and XP. do you know why
it wouldn't run on a Vista computer?

It does use one activeX control that I included. Do they
now go in a special place or something?

Any info appreciated.
Thanx

Oh, I think I get what you mean. I first learned to progrm on my dad's old 1980's era TI99/4A and that used like Call Sound (duration, frequency, volume). PASCAL is an old lang too, so that just must be how they did it back then. Making a game in anything isn't easy ;) Well, not counting those retar...

I was just wondering....what do you mean by inserting the melody into the game? So the sound file doesn't have to be included separately in the download? That would be cool, what lang is that?

You compose your own? Thats cool! I couldn't even find C if my life depended on it ;) I thought I had a good one picked out, but the more I test play my game, the more I don't like the sound, and I know my way thru the cave, someone playing for the first time and getting lost in there, might go alit...

Do any of you know any sites for downloading free sound loops? I need one for the background inside a cave.

Thanks

Thanks, I meant another *real* programming lang LOL

I'm glad that you found something interesting there, I think that site is like a programmers mini-heaven on earth! All I know is VB right now, but as soon as I finish this game I'm gonna try something new.

Have fun!!!

Maybe something here will interset you
