Qbasic Programmers,I need some help.

After a few weeks of studying QB,I finally have a grasp on QB(IN JUST 2 WEEKS! ).QB is awesome.It allows your dreams to come true with a few or alot of commands with no knowledge at all,just common sense.But anyway,I've been programming in QB today and I came across a problem;the SUB and GOSUB command.Without these two commands,I will have a much harder time making big games and apps.Reply your technique or even reply techniques for game design.Thank you.

Sorry for that.

Get real will ya ? If you even don't understand the SUB nor GOSUB lines, you hardly can state "I finally have a grasp on QB".
Put your lazyness aside and study a bit more. If you ever want to be able to program something : LEARN.

Here's what seems to be a decent tutorial:

http://tedfelix.com/qbasic/

(It includes some info about how subs and functions work)

[Swiftcutter]

A sub (subroutine) is like a mini-program that you can run from the main program. That way, instead of typing the same code over and over at different places in your program, you can just make it a sub and run that.

Here's an example. This program will generate three random numbers between 1 and 10 and print them to the screen.

Code: Select all

'This part defines the sub. It must come before anything else in the program

SUB roll10

PRINT (INT(RND*10)+1)

END SUB

'This part is the main program. It runs (or "calls") the "roll10" sub three times.

RANDOMIZE TIMER
CLS

roll10
roll10
roll10

To keep things organized, Qbasic stores your subs separate from the main program code. Press F2 to access them.

Hope that helps. I'm moderately well-versed in Qbasic, so LMK if you have any more questions. :)
