That spazzing Thwomp is still HI-LARIOUS. But you know, you can't jump on a Thwomp. It's all covered with spikes.

It still bugs me that the sound doesn't quite sync up, since I couldn't tell on my old compter, but I don't wanna edit it at this point.  It's like editing Star Wars; IT SHERDNT BE DONE.

Man, I just wandered into here from Boris' site, and this is awesome stuff.

10 cls
20 screen 12
30 input "Episode: ", num
40 input "What was funny: ", char$
50 char$ = lcase$(char$)
60 if num = 4 and char$ = "thwomp" then goto 80
70 else end
80 for x = 1 to 5: print "Funniest Mario skit ever! "
90 end

c:\dos\>qbasic.exe /run:mario.bas

Episode: 4
What was funny: Thwomp

Funniest Mario skit ever! Funniest Mario skit ever! Funniest Mario skit ever! Funniest Mario skit ever! Funniest Mario skit ever!

... yeah, don't mind me... I'm bored   I'm at work, and I'm bored (I do tech support).

*manages to drop his computer out of a thirty-stories-high window, calls you for tech-support and only says "It doesn't work.", not revealing what actually happened until half an hour into the call*

You know, back when I used to use Basic and QBasic, I couldn't even use screen mode 12.  My CGA graphics card would have scoffed at the idea of 16 colors in a graphical mode.  It was either 320x200x4 or 640x200x2.  SUCH A HORRIBLE TIME IT WAS.

Anyhoo, the "517 days later" thing in Gordon #5 is no exageration.  It may not be down to the very day, but it's been well over a year since I made #4 here.  #5 isn't nearly as good/long as these other ones, but perhaps it's a start into doing more again.

Also, thanks for the comments!
