Read the Manual

You've learned a lot. If you've made it through this far, and you are still having fun, then it's time to make up some of your own programs. QBASIC's help is what you should read through whenever you are curious about everything else QBASIC can do. It can do a lot more than what I've shown you in this book.

Some of the samples that follow may do things that you haven't seen mentioned in the book. See if you can find out what these new things are by looking them up in the help that comes with QBASIC.

Number Guesser

In this game, the computer picks a number between 1 and 10. You have to try and guess the number.

 CLS
 RANDOMIZE TIMER
 PRINT "Welcome to Number Guesser"
 PRINT "I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10."
 Number = INT(RND * 10 + 1)
 DO
 INPUT "What is your guess? ", Guess
 IF Guess = Number THEN
 PRINT "Correct!"
 EXIT DO
 ELSE
 PRINT "Try again"
 END IF
 LOOP
