Re: Fire
Oh my goodness Dylwin I am so, so sorry to hear about this, I seem to have heard of so much bad happening to you in the last few years. What happened to your neighbour is tragic. But from what you say it sounds as though it was probably inevitable. At least you seem to have prepared yourself for som...

Unpickable Window
Anyone know how to make an unpickable window for display of a logo?
A bit like wallpaper or a BGIMAGE in SMSQ/E, but part screen only (i.e. a window).

Re: Boxing Game
Hi, I have over 80 MS Basic games supporting the BASIC Computer Games book to convert, which includes the Boxing game. I have only converted 2 games, as I have been a little busy. When I get time I will finish the conversion and post them on the QL Homepage. With 78 games to convert, wouldnt it be ...

Boxing Game
Apparently there was a request on the Online Chat last week for someone to write a boxing game for QL. Although I didn't write it, here is a conversion of a Boxing listing from Creative Computing to QL Superbasic. I think it appeared in the book Basic Computer Games by David Ahl. No frills - it runs...

TCP IP
I've been reading an article about using TCP IP from Basic http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/docs/uqlx_tcp/tcp.pdf.
To save me time working out by trial and error, anyone know if these new OPEN etc commands can be compiled with Qliberator or Turbo?

Re: Sorting And Searching
Hi Dden, How long a list of words do you wish to sort? My 'ROOT' SuperBasic stringsort program can handle lists of 32766 words, which it sorts in 13 seconds under QPC2 at 1.8Ghz. Compiled it is much faster. It could be compiled with its IMPLICIT% pointer array to run faster still. I am currently op...

Re: Sorting And Searching
Hi, I usually fancy coding something simple myself. Depending on the size of an array, if the number of elements is fixed or variable, also if you keep the array sorted. Fast algorithms may work with `halving' the search range, while you always get the middle index first, and then you look for the ...

Sorting And Searching
I am looking for basic extensions for sorting and searching string arrays.

Re: Hello from South Coast
Thank you Mr_Navigator.
I was never really away from "The Fold" as such. Just preferred "hard copy" to electronic media. Finally taken the plunge and glad I did.
