Re: Why is my PB program sending network traffic to Microsoft?


I think I have not enough information. Where these communications has been catched? At the end of your router? (Might come from a browser or can be your OS network traffic, and it makes sense if you use windows)

By the way, I really like your Roadwarrior/Roadpocalypse project ;)


Thanks! I'm ...

Why is my PB program sending network traffic to Microsoft?

I've made a few terminal based games, just for fun I tested them with Virus Total. It threw the usual false positives, but then I noticed this which is a bit odd... No other online scanner I tried reports this behavior. Why is my program connecting to Microsoft data logging?

Re: Ascii - CMD Prompt Games 2 of 5 - RoadWarrior ASCII

Here are a few screens from my upcoming game. I just finished the SETUP utility which formats the cmd Terminal for the game. This is the Ascii compliant version shown. But if you install the GameFont you will see a test of the 1bit sprites displayed in the Terminal Config. If anyone wants to try it ...

Looking to hire some help. CMD Terminal Game Engine.

Hello! I am looking for someone to help me finish a code base I've been working on for about 3 years.

The code creates clickable buttons in the Windows command terminal using ascii characters, it can also load custom fonts into the registry then remove the font once the program terminates, it can ...

Re: Roadpocalypse : A retro inspired survival game of ruined earth.

I did in the tools section but then I also submitted an entry for PureBasic on Itch.io. Doesn't look like it updated yet?

I'll be sure to fix that asap! I LOVE PB!

Re: Roadpocalypse : A retro inspired survival game of ruined earth.

Yes! I started making simple Terminal games with Ascii, but then I kept pushing the limit farther and farther... Until well here I am! :D

Re: Ascii - CMD Prompt Games 2 of 5 - RoadWarrior ASCII

Here is my latest update!

My game simulates as close as possible a true MS-dos environment. Complete with a retro legacy PC boot sequence and functional Sound Setup utility. The legacy boot sequence actually scans your real hardware so no two system boots will be alike.

The game music was made in ...

Re: Ascii - CMD Prompt Games 1 of 5 - Off World Mining Outpost


This is actually seriously stunning work... I think you are joking that you are just learning to code. This is pro-level game design that captures retro-style from 80s pitch perfect... I'm also working on CosPlay Engine for native 2D ASCII games (https://cosplayengine.com) - great minds think ...

How's this game going? Hope you haven't given up on it - I was looking forward to it.

I haven't Barry! I've actually made quite a few console games since this one. But after setting this project aside for a long time I ...

Console program suddenly Demands "Admin" privileges

I wrote two separate console programs that use the terminal window. They both have the same code initially in the beginning to setup the window size. However what is strange one demands to be ran with Admin privileges when compiled to an exe. I have not coded anything in such a way for my program to ...

Looking for example of a 2D Runner - Game

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had a basic 2D example of a runner type game. A plat former would also be fine, I just want to see what I can learn from example code.
