could you give us a list of commands please? So far I've figured out "pick up lantern". Its a good start, well done.

Part of solving the problem is actually noticing that the problem is there in the first place

Give more detail, and then I will download. Post some screens, and it should be in the WIP section.

Hey, I am a total noob to DBP, so if you would be kind enough to just help me along. I'm good with FPSC though, just learning DBP now.

Again... this is a DARKBASIC forum... not QUICKBASIC. That .exe is way too small to be made using Darkbasic and of course your WIP code tells everybody that ever programmed in Quickbasic that it's done in that... not Darkbasic.

Like I said in your WIP (before it got locked)... join us in the 21st century and get Darkbasic... stop using Quickbasic.

Me too... but aparently it's gotten a little better. I based my belief on the code he posted in the WIP board.

He didn't use that many commands so it's only based on two... but it's definately not Darkbasic.


Also when he uploaded the .exe it was easy to see that the program was not written in Darkbasic because it's too small. Editing it with a text editor shows readable text in the .exe file. One of the things I did in Quickbasic that I tried in Darkbasic was using the .exe itself to store and change the high scores. It's easy in Quickbasic because quoted text remains exactly the same in the .exe... in Darkbasic no quoted text remains intact in the .exe.

I've attached a picture of what his code in the WIP looks like loaded directly into Quickbasic... nice and neat in their own subs.

I finally figured it out. I was wrong about it being Quickbasic... but it's not Darkbasic. I looked at the .exe again and saw this (see attached jpg).

It's written in Visual Basic (which is based on Quickbasic).

really 11 and did that in vb? amazing, that must have taken a while.

um not being picky but one room said the door was one way but it then said i couldn't go that way, - no, not the one that needs the key.

btw i got to the future room and then couldn't move, i take it this is as far as u got as far as programming it is concerned?

and don't listen to anyone else this is much more of an accomplishment having done it in vb then db, although i really would sugest getting dbc.

but really welldone.

The reason santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.
