Very inspiring. Looking forward to Rocky VI where Stallone beats up the D.C.P., Democrat Communist Party.

Rock on, dude.

I think I've had enough of "PLAY" songs, with beeping and perhaps 3-channel sound, after somebody did the "William Tell Overture" from it. :/

I am curious... You mentioned "perhaps 3-channel sound"... How exactly might this be done?

That last link was provided, instead of a Purebasic program that emulated the ability of a Tandy1000.

  Purebasic-QBPlay.pb.zip (Size: 5.71 KB / Downloads: 45)
This is rather old, two full versions earlier than current. Perhaps it could be converted to QB64 or Freebasic.

[johnno56]

As I did not have PB installed, I downloaded and installed the "demo" version of PB (v573), then installed all the necessary libraries. PB started just fine. Loaded the QBPlay.pb file. Executed. Failed. "[13:29:52] [COMPILER] Line 226: Native types can't be used with pointers."

This occurred in the "Help Procedures". Line effected: "Protected *result.l, *sampleVal.WORD"

As I am unfamiliar with PB, I figured, this is as far as I go... Not wanting to risk further problems I took the time to report it...

[mnrvovrfc]

This occurred in the "Help Procedures". Line effected: "Protected *result.l, *sampleVal.WORD"

The "dot-l" and "dot-WORD" assigns data type, however it's not supposed to be valid with asterisk in front. Such a backward programming language LOL...

Also "qbplay.pb" might not be useable in demo version of Purebasic even if it could meet the requirement of minimum number of source code lines. The other obstacle is that it was offered while Purebasic was on version 4 and many things were done to the product since then. So that people were forced to change their source code regularly to remain updated. Nope, gave up on it a long time ago for many other reasons, one was because few of the 3D examples worked on my 32-bit computer.
