Countryside and summer – what can be better for weekend? So, the same about a main hero of this videogame, he thinks the same! He is going to the countryside. He collects all his things, pack things and now, right now, he is going to countryside. He will take with himself a ball, which he likes to play. And will go. He closes the door. He takes on his favorite cap. He takes a place in a bus. He will buy a ticket for train. And he will find out himself at the countryside territory.
There, he will go through the forest, though the field. He will pick up some flowers. He takes with himself several bushes. Several flowers, he will pick up and will plant them at his country house place! Even a bug, a funny bug he will take with himself! It is a storyline in a simple way!

Game with genre of quest and search for items. With style of different quests from early MS Dos graphics age. So, here, it is, also, a 16 colors. And different graphics primitives, out of them it is drawing everything here. Game is not hard. Usually, at every game scene you need to take 3 items. And. They are, rather, easy to see. Game is more for positive. And, not for make some hard things to gamer.
So, here, there are here two phases. In first phase, you need to read text. It is a story. It is everything with description about what is going on. And what you need to do. So, it is straight – it is written. For example. I like to play with ball. It is good to take a ball with myself. Now, I am going to countryside. And, pack a things. So, now, you get a knowledge - about you need to collect a things. And go to a countryside.
With the idea not to skip everything while do a fast mouse click, about text screens. There is a 2 seconds pause. So, every text screen has a duration with minimum about 2 seconds. And after you, already, start to click with mouse, when you want and it will be - something next. One more screen with text or, already, a game scene.
Second phase. It is a game phase. So, here, you are search for items. And, at the top, it is written – that you find some item. As a rule – you take this or that item. And, in the end – about, that scene is complete and press left mouse button. Control in game using mouse. And one mouse button - left. It is in use LBM (left button Mouse).
Saying simple – it is funny and simple quest about a countryside. At every little picture, find items, It will be written. And move mouse all over the screen.
Theme – it is a road to countryside. Train. Listen player. With songs. Something really funny and cool. It is forest and field. Grass and flowers.
Funny moment. So, you are going by countryside roads. So, you can count, that half of the road is behind you. And, around you - it is forest and field. Tress. Birds are singing. By the way - just a moment ago, it was a raining here. And, flowers and a grass are a little in water. Everything, is so refreshing. Excellent refreshing air. So, refreshing. And, summer and sun. So, it is warm. So, now, you will go out of the forest and it will be a hot weather. And you are walking and watch at all of this with calm and positive. Everything is, so, beautiful and interesting.
And, so, here before your eyes - it is interesting bug, he is sitting here. So big and interesting bug. And you decide to take him to your country side place! To make him run at your place.
Wow! Now, with you, bug will live at your place, so big and interesting funny bug! So, look, he is at the grass, he is sitting or he climbs at the tree!
Weather is fine and you are walking and enjoy the life! Countryside season – it is, most best, beautiful time in a year. When it is weekend – immediately to go to countryside. Take a things and run! By the train, by bus. And run across the field. Happy run by field and though the forest.
And, next, also, it is good, while you are walking the road to collect some little flowers and bushes to take some funny bush. Well, flowers are very beautiful and cool in the field. There are no such flowers at your countryside! So, now, they will to be! And, little bush such a fluffy funny and cool, it is growing. You can to see it with your eyes. Eyes catch them. And, it will be planted at your place too!
At the sky, there is a bright little sun is shining. There are no clouds, almost. And, so, you are out of the forest, already, reach the field. And, you go forward though the field – and, already, there it will be a countryside place. And, there are grasshoppers, they are singing funny songs. And, little grass is green! Beautiful! Excellent place!
And here, you are, already, walking by country houses place, walk by countryside till you reach your place. And, someone, throw away a gear! You take it with yourself! It can be useful! Something like, you can to say – in a things, it is very useful! And here it is your place. So. Quest is done and you are at the countryside!

So, I'm looking for what I believe to be a piece of completely lost media - the Killer Kombat Pong series of QBASIC games that were distributed via the AOL games board sometime between 90 and 98. I've found similar games in the genre (Pong Worz, Pong Kombat 1+2), but not the KKP series. This is a shame, because KKP was the most polished and playable of the games - the first was very rudimentary with only a multiplayer mode and three characters, but the second and third games added full arcade modes (with character endings!) and a full roster.
If anyone knows of any mass archives of AOL-distributed BASIC games, please let me know.
@foone - I think you're my best hope for this.

My Actual coding booth 😃 1. Introduction: Embracing a New Beginning at Day 149 Of course I know it too late to start the blog from day 149, but I was very busy with my old job, now I’ve been released a week ago, and I’m free to do what I want now. 2. A Journey Through Coding: From HTML to MERN I’m going to give a brief summary of the past days, I’ve started back in August 2023, with HTML,…

@lynxden assuming you meant cpu and not gpu then yes xD
it's basically some of the most memorable and fun moments I've had learning programming has been about doing things the Hard Way™ - doing things manually tends to require you to spend more time thinking about what the computer's actually doing to accomplish the things you ask it to do, which is inevitably a lot more work and often nowhere near as efficient or capable because it's pretty unlikely that you just happen to be smarter than the entire R&D teams they have at Nvidia or Unreal or wherever - but it does force you to learn stuff, at least on a temporary basis.
I mean look, when I first learned how to do proper programming that wasn't just faffing around in Qbasic or whatever, it was on Turbo Pascal in DOS some 25-odd years ago, and I'm kind of forever grateful that when it came to doing graphics, instead of just having us use the built in Borland Graphics API, the teacher taught us how to enter VGA mode 0x13 via direct DOS interrupts, and then how to draw graphics by writing directly to the part of memory that held the screen for that mode.
I still remember the address being 0xA000.
So when I decided I really should take another stab at trying to figure out how the hells matrices work for 2D and 3D transformations a few weeks back, I thought hey why not try doing all of this directly using the Win32 GDI API, BitBlt:ing a framebuffer into the graphics because then I'll also have to re-learn a bunch of stuff that I've more or less forgotten over the years. Plus, there's a part of me that kind of wants to try to take some time to learn at least a little more about software reverse engineering - see if I could ever get to a point where I might be able to look into whether some examples of old games or software that doesn't work so well anymore could be updated to work a bit better.
So, step by step I'm gradually working my way towards a software triangle rasteriser to see about poking around with all of that and I dunno maybe I'll make something small and simple out of it like maybe some vampire survivors-alike or something like the original after burner or maybe even descent or something, who knows.
For now it's mostly a whole lot of googling around, trying to wrap my brain around stuff that feels like I used to find it easier to understand than I do now, and basically just reminding myself why I liked doing some of this stuff, haha.

Hi hello, quick question! As a trans woman have you ever been tempted by the call of coding/computer programming?
Hi! Quick answer: Been doing it my whole life. Got started on QBasic in the early 90s. Done little bits of web development and game development since then.
I enjoy it. I cannot run from who I am 🏳️⚧️

Duckling Pseudo 3D – big and small duckling
It is full of joy summer all around! And funny joyful duckling is having fun about every summer day he has! So, little raining is over and it is ok to run into the field again. Field can be so different. And, there are so many different grass in it. Grass and bush. Field is green, field is with little of water. Almost, swamp place or shallow little river. More sand, more black color of soil with stones and this can happens too. And, of course, a main place – it is a field, which has a lots of green.
Even, a surface is green. Everything has grown with a grass. And lots of grass. And bush. So, this places are most best for duckling! And duckling has a new day! And look - he runs again! And in the evening, by the way, he will go to drink a tea! He runs a lot during the day, and goes to drink a tea in the evening! That’s so cool!
In game it is everything joyful. And game menus too! They are so green and funny! And, during gameplay, you need to collect duckling coins! They are so big and yellow circles. Inside of them, there is a drawing with a duckling! Nothing hard and game is made for relax, free time! When you get coin, then at the top left, you see indication for a three seconds with your game score.
There are sounds in game! So, someone in the internet writes - about how cool to add, duckling to make some noise! Quack sounds to add! And duckling starts to do quack! Duckling starts to do quack sounds! Quack, quack! Duckling speaks – quack, quack! Well, ok, with no jokes, now, duckling makes a not loud sound “quack” during gameplay.
Something like, random way, he makes a “quack” sound. From time to time, it happens a little melody. From several “quack, quack”. And, sometimes, once you can hear “quack”, and it goes a silence for several seconds. It don’t disturb. And, so, it is about once in several seconds, in common way.
And also, when you get coin, then it will be, also, a funny sound. It is a real “quack” from different ducks. But, no for a long time! It is for fun!
Also, game has a game menu, and you can, for example, turn off sound. If you want this!
youtube
And, also, there is, in game a certain level structure. Level goes. And, after it, you might get bonus level. It is same level as casual level, by its idea. But, with several differences. First of all, there is no grass and stones there. And, only surface itself. Visually, it is little difference. More simple. And, who runs there, it is not a big duckling, and it is a small duckling.
It is same size as a duckling at the coin, but it is yellow. It is bonus Level! So, in theory, after every level, you can get bonus level. But, actually, as, a real thing, it will be, not after every level. And, like several times for a game. With certain random value you can get a bonus level after a normal level! In game menu, pre level menu you get a message about this!
Bonus level repeat theme of a main level. So, there is a green background, grass in a main level. So, in bonus level, it is going to be a green background. Decorative elements will be absent in bonus levels. And, instead of big ducklings, it is running a small duckling.
In main levels - big duckling. And you can control with arrows left and right. And, in bonus levels – duckling is small. And you can, not only left and right control, and, also, up and down to move by screen. Not full. But to get 3 of 4 parts of the screen, approximately. So, here you can do maneuvers more free at the level.
After level – there is here a small animation, final animation. Duckling running beyond the screen, he runs, something like, forward. In this moment, you, already, cannot to control him. So, such cool final animation for a level. Look at the duckling is running, he runs by his own, already, and goes beyond the screen! Level ends!
And, you are shown, already, your game score. How many duckling coins you get for a level, and how many you get in total!
Game has a summer decorations visual in menu themes. And, game itself, is about a duckling and about a summer! And about summer positive! Little sun and summer! And, yellow duckling! Big and small!
Have your excellent Basic day!
