Ok guys, this has been one heck of a productive week as far as restoring QB64 is concerned!  

We've got the forums here back up and going.  

I've got us half a homepage up and going.  (https://qb64phoenix.com)  

The wiki has been rebuilt (though its still missing a few things which we'll find and replace over time.), and new editors have signed up to help maintain and build it.  

We've got an official repo over at github now, and we've got a First Edition release available to help remove any issues with QB64 trying to link to the old site and error out when it can't do so...

Well first, it has been awhile since I last fiddled with BASIC, and I kept trying to hunt down the 'other' site that seems to have gone bye-bye. Oh well, I guess stuff happens.

Anyway, I am writing an app to help some folks in a group I support. Once of the things I'd kinda like the app to do is bring up a webpage based on a given URL is the user makes a certain selection in the program. I'm sure this has probably been ask before, but I've searched some, and finding nothing, probably due to not using the correct words to search on. Anyway, thanks for any help, Michelle

I'm not sure where I downloaded this from, the ZIP file was dated 6/1/2017 4:45:58 PM.
(I packaged to 7z which has a bigger upload limit.)  

Hope this helps... Enjoy

Wondering if it is possible to have a new section (QB64 related material) where QB64 community members only have access?

This might discourage attempts to download our material into questionable sites.

I, bplus, am newbie to Linux the Mint Cinnamon Distro which is a subset of Ubuntu but with more Windows like appearance if I read my book right.

Anyway I am testing the Battleship app Johnno and I put together, everything is fine until I am halfway through a game with all effects going (mostly just sound files playing) and the thing just ups and quits, no messages, nothing?! When I play without effects it's fine and I can run a whole game to win or lose. I think there were some wav files and possibly those are Windows preferred? But why would they work for awhile and then not? 

Another goofy thing: I am testing a graphics program, a mod of Kens's spiral flower and it just automatically says compiler error see log... I check and it's blank, over and over? I'm thinking there is some invisible character that doesn't show in IDE because I commented out the whole program and still get compiler error message. Weird!

And another thing:
I am testing old Spinners program, that takes a screenshot of desktop and then displays that with spiders crawling all over... oh wait the Wiki did say taking screen shots does not work in Linux, never mind.

Windows has no problem with this, IDE in Linux is happy but the compiler gives me error even when I comment more and more until all of the code:

I will be adding to this little corner of forum my QB64 code as I check them in through Linux QB64 v 1.5 (I don't need debug), they already work fine in Windows v2.0 

Sudoku is by far my most used and favorite app I've created with QB64 and version 2020-08-08 has been tested allot! 

The Sudoku app has 2 screens, the first is just an Info/Help screen from which you enter a level of play.
 
Levels are mostly determined by the number of clues you are given, the more the easier.
The lower levels are for practice or flash card like automatic skills builder. 6 gives intermediate puzzle 7 a little harder intermediate 8 would be hardest but takes longer to build for unique solution and may end up a level 7 puzzle.
9 gives you a blank puzzle and puts you in Make Mode and you can click in a puzzle from newspaper or book.
Remember to click back to Puzzle Mode when done making the puzzle.

The Puzzle screen has some menu buttons:
The first on left toggles the solution, ON OFF
The 2nd from left toggles the check cell mode. ON will not allow you to make a simple error of putting a 2nd number in row, column or 3x3 cell block and beep you if you try. Just because you are not beeped, doesn't mean it is correct.
The Load and Save buttons work with one Temp file. Just rename that file or copy and rename if you want to store a special puzzle, perhaps one that was particularly hard. Otherwise every time you save a puzzle the last one in Temp will be overwritten.

Play: Is basically clicking a number from number palette and left click a cell to answer or right click to toggle a note of that number on and off again. To remove a number clicked in, set the number palette to 0, click that in and then reset to number you want to do next.






Updated for color fix in later versions of QB64pe.exe

You guys may have seen something like this somewhere before, but this is the original, prettier version than the one that exists inside the QB64 IDE.
