you two...wth?!

adok when i read what you wrote i'm pretty turned on and i'm at moment middle of demoparty filled with sweaty men

Barrio: Get started with Creative Basic. I wrote a tutorial for it. It's so extensive because I wrote it for elementary school kids. Creative Basic is free and you will learn the basics of programming with it. Then you can continue with e.g. C++, Java or C#. http://www.students.meduniwien.ac.at/~n0102122/tutorials/cbasic-english.pdf

uns3en_: I've visited several parties and I must say, I got to know a lot of nice people and made good friends.

Hugirl is a good idea! :)

Adok, thank you! I hope this tutorial will make me a good programmer some day!

Barrio: If you've got questions, ask me.

Adok, I have started already. But now I have a question. Your first example says it will fulfill all my wishes. I don't see how a computer can do that? Can you please explain it to me?

It can fulfil you only computer-related wishes, of course :)

I wrote the tutorial for elementary school kids, after all... which however doesn't mean that it isn't suitable for other beginners.

I have to admit it is a real kick to run my first computer program! Really cool. Where in the tutorial will you explain about using DirectX? LOL, getting a bit impatient :D

DirectX doesn't appear in this tutorial. It's advanced stuff.

I am doing exercise 1 but I think I am stuck... Could you provide me an example of the correct code?

Oh wait, LOL, it's in the text! Let me take a look what is wrong.

Exercise 2 makes me sad :( It asks the name of my girlfriend but she broke up with me 2 weeks ago!!

Auch andere Mütter haben hübsche Töchter. :) (Other mothers have pretty daughters, too.)

zomfg lol is this real? :)

El Topo? Why not? I am new to the demoscene! I want to learn programming and Adok has been so kind to help me :)

El Topo: Do you want to learn BASIC, too? :)

I need a lot of feedback!

Yeah sure, but I've already got myself started:

One can always learn more but then BASIC is very implementation dependent (or at least that's what I'm told).

El Topo, what does "GOTO 10" do?

Barrio Jigs: It makes a jump to line 10 which in this case prints a cool message. Then it moves to line 20 again which means that it jumps back and forth between these lines and thus prints HUGI STAFF MEMBERS on the screens until the program is interrupted. The ";" is an implementation dependent thing for the C64 which means there are no linefeeds, instead the message is printed from left to right until the end of line where (if anything left) the remainder of the message is printed on the next line and so on.

Thank you, El Topo, I think I understand! You guys are really helpful, cheers!
