@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place Repeating myself for the 99th time, but this stuff marked me so deeply back in the day that I can't avoid mentioning it one time after another:
Have you ever seen the PC Game Programming Encyclopedia?
(Beware, 90's social vibes, "he/him/his" assumed by default about the reader and all that stuff that fortunately now tends to belong to the past. If some text shows garbled, force a CP-850 codepage. The original PCGPE .exe was a TurboPascal TurboVision app in text mode serving as a menu, from which each document could be opened)
pcgpe.exe can be found here. I make no assumptions about it not having viruses or being a harmful executable!!

i'm making a #QBasic game using mode 13h, 320x200 8bpp.@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place QBasic like... the original (interpreted) QBasic, or the compiled QuickBasic one? (At this point I guess it's no new infothat QuickBasic exists, but it doesn't hurt to mention it).
BTW, awesome screenshots The game could have even been a text adventure (with the screenshots as illustrations) and would still look awesome. Although knowing you, I'm sure it's something much better than a text adventure. A point and click one, maybe, or even an action game.
