YAHTZEE.ZIP
(11KB)
YAHTZEE - Another Yahtzee game. The source code to this game
has been through many changes. The original code was written
about 20 years ago. About five years ago, I re-wrote the game to add
mouse routines and graphics. There are many yahtzee games out
there that are much better but if you happen to want the basic
source code to one, here it is.
GEMTRIS.ZIP
(16KB)
GEMTRIS - A tetris type game with colorful falling gems.
Eliminate the gems by arranging three of more gems of the same
color in a row. This program demonstrates using the palette to
simulate falling gems. This program should run without any
modifications in QBasic.

WHEEL OF FUN - A guess the word/phrase type game. Spin the
wheel then guess a letter. When you think you know the word or
phrase then solve it. I'm currently updating this game and the
updates will replace this one. This program demonstrates using
the palette to simulate a spinning wheel, and using binary data
files to store graphics. This program should run with few
modifications in QBasic. There are notes in the source file on
the changes needed.
MAZER.ZIP
(4KB)
Mazer - Not really a game but something interesting to play
with. Mazer will generate a maze, then it will attempt to solve
the maze showing you its progress. This program demonstrates
using array tables to solve a maze. This program should run with
no modifications in QBasic.
POKER.ZIP
(36KB)
Poker Solitaire - This is a variation of solitaire card games.
You play your cards one at a time forming a 5x5 grid. You want to
build poker hands as you play. This program demonstrates using
simple mouse routines and using binary data graphic files to save
precious memory. For you newbies wondering how to add a deck of
playing cards to your program without having 52 separate arrays
dimmed, look at the source code to this. This program will not
run with QBasic at this time, only QuickBasic 4.5
Most of the programs at this site were written by me using QuickBasic 4.5 but a few of them will run in QBasic. Those programs that can run in QBasic will be noted.
