News XML/XSLT Josh Stribling June 12 2005 I updated the XML/XSL files and added them back to the server... If you are using Firefox, that should work as a temp fix... javascript Josh Stribling June 11 2005 Well... I managed to get all the vbscript converted to javascript, and debugged... Then I downloaded Firefox... And guess what doesn't support ActiveX Objects... hmmmm... So I guess I get to implement a new method using XSLTProcessor and what not... Also looking into Sarissa Single HTML Doc Josh Stribling June 5 2005 OK... I changed the whole layout... (again) This time I designed it so that there is only 1 HTML file, and all the data is kept in seperate XML Files. The files are swapped out using vbScript when a link is clicked by transforming it through a single XSL file (which is content sensitive) then inserted into a document <div> tag XML/XSLT Josh Stribling Jan 5 2005 Finished the XML version with the XSL Transformations (See Links) CSS Josh Stribling Jan 4 2005 Applied CSS to the site to give it a little style...(And simplify the html) Links Josh Stribling Jan 2 2005 Added a few of my favorite links.

The animation still looks pretty cool though ;-) blend/StarShip1.jpg Star Ship blend/StarShip2.blend Josh Stribling This is supposed to be somewhat of a cross between an R-Type and Gradius Ship... I did a little more to the texturing of this one... blend/StarShip2.jpg Qbasic Screenshot using Jasc Paintshop Pro If you have ever tried to save a screenshot of a QBasic program, running in Sceen Mode 13, you may know it can get a little tricky... Especially in XP. Here is a method, using Jasc Paint Shop Pro (PSP), with the RAW format, and a saved Palette. In case you did not know, or care, when you use BSAVE in Qbasic, it creates a RAW File with a 7 byte header. When You load the RAW file into paint shop, it will be a grey scale image, all you need to do then is load a palette. Here is a sub you can Add to your program to save the PAL and RAW Files: DEFINT A-Z SUB ScreenShot (FILE AS STRING) '*** Save PAL File OPEN FILE + ".PAL" FOR OUTPUT AS #1 PRINT #1, "JASC-PAL" 'Jasc Palette Format PRINT #1, "0100" '8 bit PRINT #1, "256"'256 colors OUT &H3C7, 0 FOR i = 0 TO 255 r = (INP(&H3C9) * 255) \ 63 'Get Red Value g = (INP(&H3C9) * 255) \ 63 'Get Green Value b = (INP(&H3C9) * 255) \ 63 'Get Blue Value PRINT #1, LTRIM$(STR$(r) + STR$(g) + STR$(b)) NEXT CLOSE '*** Save RAW File DEF SEG = &HA000'Set Segment to Video Memory BSAVE FILE + ".RAW", 0, 64000 'Save 64000 bytes (320 x 200 pixels) END SUB Then just call the sub from somewhere in your program... Screen 13 DO '...Graphic drawing code... A$ = INKEY$ IF UCASE$(A$) = "S" THEN ScreenShot "MyProg" '...More input handling code... LOOP UNTIL A$ = CHR$(27) This will save 2 files: MyProg.PAL MyProg.RAW Now you can Open the RAW File in Jasc PSP with the following options set: Width = 320 Height = 200 Header Size = 7 Then Select Colors>Load Palette... from the menu, and open the PAL File you generated. After that, just save it as a GIF file, and you should be good to go... The Adobe Photo Shop Method should be very similar... You might have to change the Palette Definition A little...
