All languages that have the ability to load a DLL can
be used, that includes even stuff like Lotus Notes, VBA (Excel/Word) and (with a wrapper class) Java. Fortunately JavaScript cannot load DLLs. QBasic is something I don't know either. [View Quote] -- "_ | /\ \ / __/ /_ goten362Nov 20, 2001, 10:48pm

I think you might be able to incorporate DLL's into qbasic.. it's been so
long. I don't remember how but you can do it in basic so why not qbasic? :) look for the syntax for that. --Bowen-- [View Quote] bowenNov 21, 2001, 1:42am
ok I'm looking here : http://www.qbasic.com/chapter4.txt and it does seem
you can include files into qbasic.. or open them rather.. there's a slight chance if you investigate further you can do it.. but this may not be the best way to do it qbasic isn't very visual :) --Bowen-- [View Quote] smeNov 21, 2001, 10:52am

As bowen points out, QBasic is a very easy language to use and learn. An
added benefit: the compilers and much reference material are available online for free. However, you probably want to start programming bots in the well-documented C++ or VisualBasic SDKs, then come back and experiment on writing bots in QBasic so that you can do bigger projects more easily. Or not. -Sme :) bowenNov 21, 2001, 4:32pm
Yeah, Ananas and I were talking about it.. since qbasic is a dos program
(which might not run DLL files.. but it can run some sort of library file) it would take a lot of time to work something out (you can run it in windows) but it would be a very odd bot if anything.. I agree pick up VB or Basic itself.. they'd probably get the job done faster and better. --Bowen-- [View Quote] kahNov 21, 2001, 4:52pm
you can use JavaScript with bots if you use Sado's BotTool (VB source was
released a while ago... http://bottool.sourceforge.net/) there's a compiled version included. KAH [View Quote] ananasNov 21, 2001, 6:49pm
I haven't read much about it, but I think the bot itself
is VB, it is just an OCX or VBX or something like that, which can be controlled by JS. At least the JS version I know cannot call load DLLs. [View Quote] -- "_ | /\ \ / __/ /_ kahNov 22, 2001, 2:02pm
the execution of the JS is done with the MS Script Control, JS only has
acces to the SDK, does not load the SDK. KAH [View Quote] |
