QL BASIC progs to manually type in
QL BASIC progs to manually type in
Just for a laugh and to test my wonderful microdrive's ability to save and load things, does anyone know of any simple Basic games for the QL that I can find online and manually type in to original hardware? I don't know, breakout or some kind of simple early 80s delight.
Just messin' around with 8 bits.

Looks like they have loads of stuff.

Re: QL BASIC progs to manually type in
Couldn't see anything. I'm not after a .bas file to transfer to the QL (I'm not setup for that yet), I want something to print out and manually type in.... but not in the next couple of days as my keyboard membrane has just given up completely and only about 3 keys work!

Re: QL BASIC progs to manually type in
I got a new keyboard membrane. And discovered (der) that the QL bas files can be read pretty easily in notepad on windows, you just have to find the line numbers, do carriage returns all the way through, print and then manually type in to a real QL! Hours of time doing it, then about 2 mins of actually running the program to find that it's, well, Basic. But at least I can test the Microdrive for loading, saving etc.

Standby alert “There are four lights!”
Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb
Looking forward to summer later in the year.
Re: QL BASIC progs to manually type in
Yes, but I've joined so many (well 2) forums lately so was putting it off until absolutely necessary - it's just too many passwords and usernames for my head.

Re: QL BASIC progs to manually type in
If you open the bas files with Notepad++ (or probably just about any text editor that isn't Notepad) they should be properly formatted.ChrisZx wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 6:53 pm I got a new keyboard membrane.
