MSR *WILL* be finished, come hell or high water... hell more likely.

[nodtveidt]

QBASIC became QuickBASIC, which was both an interpreter and a compiler, using the same visual editor as QBASIC. To this day, it still retails for $150. There was also the Professional Development System which contained the last version of QuickBASIC, 7.1, but Visual BASIC For MS-DOS quickly replaced that. A freeware successor was written a number of years later by an uninvolved party, which was called freeBASIC. A direct descendent was then written a few years after that, called QB64, again from uninvolved people. freeBASIC is a BASIC-like true compiler that has tons of C-like features, QB64 is essentially a modern QBASIC clone that aims to be able to run all QBASIC code unmodified. I actually use freeBASIC for some of my utility work... most of the binary data files for MSR are assembled using tools developed in freeBASIC. The map editor for MSR was written in Visual Basic 6 though.

yeah taking breaks is nice.

Im on a forced break right now.  Any code I code on the PCe right now means im blowing off my classes. lol

at least were almost to midterms, so i can be like f*ck YALL BITCHES IS PCE CODETIME AGAIN.

Why a break

it's the period for f*ck fests in US   or it was just a f*cking mythe  ??

 

[blueraven]

So wait, is Mysterious Song actually available yet?

[MotherGunner]

Guys he said AFTER MSR is complete..they are still on RC1.

no, a break because like I said here (and on Aetherbyte.com), I have classes til december 18th or so... and that is a bit more important since it cost like 4000$ to attend, lol

[touko]

 and that is a bit more important since it cost like 4000$ to attend, lol

Lol, ok but 4000$, wahou, US school is very expensive ..

Lol...that's cheap for school. try 30,000 to 50,000 a year for some. (However I don't think they are worth it)

Well this is for one semester and it's graduate school, lol.

The graduate program is far better than the undergrad in most colleges.  You actually learn shit!

[touko]

 

I understand why many americans people continue to pay schools credits, long after.

[termis]

Yeah, but the actual tuiton cost isn't necessarily what one pays.  I went to a school where the tuition fee was $24k year at the time (current tuition at $43k/yr), but after various grants, what I actually paid was close to zero (I did have to borrow for most of the housing costs, but I reckon that's more than fair).

so what would be great is for you guys to write a WHO TO start coding on PCe, different tools, what to use, how to set up, create a basic hello world, having played with PSX (Yaroze/C ), Xbox 360 (c#), id be keen to be a bit more old school and give the pce a look in, but would need some starters, hell a R-type or platform game with some commented source to get going would be ideal

[nodtveidt]

Hello World is easy in HuC:

Code: [Select]

#include "huc.h"

main()
{
load_default_font();
put_string("Hello, World!",9,13);
}
hehe.

I have a platformer engine coded in HuC that I've used in three games and a tech demo thus far, but it's not very well commented. If you want to go the HuC route, I could clean it up and toss it your way. If you want to go the assembly route, someone like TheOldMan would be better to talk to.

Id be keen on the HUC stuff, i dont think im ready to go down the assembly route.

[grahf]

Where can one grab the latest version of HuC?

[nodtveidt]

zeograd.com has the last released version, but it hasn't been updated since 2005. Tomatheous gave me a few new routines for it, and I added a couple of things as well, but such modifications are kept in-house. HuC desperately needs an official update, but its maintainer has abandoned it.
