beginning to learn QBASIC as i'm looking to port my demoscene stuff from TI-BASIC (based on QB) to MS-DOS. Graphics are weird here and i can't just drop in Assembly snippets so scrollers are gonna be a bitch. However...

Screen mode 13's kinda nice, ngl.

    demoscene doesn't care about dates, only your skill

    @FrodoSwaggins actually it has window support, much in the same way as the GBx consoles did, but it's 8 pixels smaller in each direction than the actual VRAM space, so it's not really usable for much. However, I could drop an assembly snippet into the code in-line in TI-BASIC to not have to wait 3 or more minutes per pixel moved as TI-BASIC is slow as fuck, meaning I could call the same few snippets over and over to smoothly scroll quickly.
    ("BASICBOY" on Pouet, for an example.)
    I can't seem to do this in QBASIC.
