Ideas for the idealess

Wed, 20 May 2009 01:47:37 Z

I have been programming with smallbasic for a while now and while in the past I had ideas coming from my brain left and right, I have begun to become a person who is "Idealess" and I'm pretty sure many others are to. So for anybody who has ideas for a new program for someone to build or you want to make it you just don't know how. Put it here for everyone else to use or get ideas from it.

P.S (Vijaye) I think we need some competitions going. That's be pretty fun.

Here's a couple ideas.
1. Poker
2. Reversi
3. Solitaire
4. Galaga
5. Ataris "Adventure" game
6. A game where you have to keep a ball from touching the bottom of the graphics window by drawing lines which bounce the ball back up.
7. Short Animations in the TextWindow
Try these out they'd be pretty fun to make. I've made 21 in the text window Import Code: NFB246 And I'm working on Galaga and my own version of Ataris "Adventure"

Here are some ideas:

1.
Write a program that simulates throwing a dice a lot of times and make some statistical analysis on the data.

2.
Do you know a foreign language? If you do, you can write a program that can translate a text between your own and that foreign language. I'm sure there can come some amusing sentences out of that!

3.
Write a program that can help you remember passwords and other dark secrets.
The program could spit out a 2-dimensional array in a text file and the array consists of random chosen numbers and letters. The size of the array could for example be 24 * 24. You can then open the file and write your password in the array in some pattern you can remember.

4.
Make a subroutine that can draw a diagram when given 2 arrays (X and Y).

5
Write a selection of subroutines that you can use in your future programs. Each time you get an idea - no matter how small or irrelevant it might seem - write a subroutine and gradually build your own Small Basic tool box. Maybe the tool box will start to trigger your imagination and you can see how you can use your subroutines.

Here is a simple dice roller to help people along with one of smolnas ideas.

TextWindow.WriteLine("Welcome to the dice roller")
While(1=1)
TextWindow.WriteLine("How many sides?")
R = TextWindow.ReadNumber()
M = Math.GetRandomNumber(R)
TextWindow.WriteLine("" + M)
TextWindow.PauseWithoutMessage()
TextWindow.Clear()
EndWhile

Yahdice with multiplayer and some AI
"The worm" game
Labyrinth generator - it's always funny for kids
Conway's Game of life

I wrote these programs in 8bit BASIC but now it may be difficult to find my tapes with source code ;)

How's galaga & adventure going Hacker? They'd both be nice.

Well I have got the basics up and running for galaga but the aleins... I have it worked out but no animations yet. Mostly it is just the levels with all the aleins, it is not really hard it just takes time. So it may be a little while longer. Then adventure I haven't done anything more on, I just don't have the time right now to program in all the backgrounds and walls. But it will be finished sooner or later!

'without prejudice '

Most of the suggestions so far have been for games, how about some "controls" like in visiual basic that can be used in programs. For example, a way to add a scollable text box or a pop up calander. I know many would say just use visual basic but I find it fun to try and get these things to work with small basic.

Well how about trying to make a visual wall clock or maybe a huge scenerary map type thing or pic that you can zoom in and out the when you are zoomed in you can scroll around the pic.
