Can someone help me with a computer science project?

[RSI]

I'm in gr11 CS, which is a bunch of BS, but I figured I might be able to get help here anyway. The programming language is *puke* gwbasic... If you don't have it, feel free to grab it. I'm pretty sure it's legal, since the teacher was giving out copies all over the place, etc, and it's so small.

So if anybody can help me out with this.. oh yeah, the project.. I have to write three block letters (or four, doesn't really matter .. could be a word/name) accross the screen using line and circle commands...

Thanks in advance

man, gwbasic, I haven't seen that since I tossed our XT. You shouldn't be running into any of the stuff they changed for QBasic, so I may actually be helpful.

For the letters, I'd suggest I, O, L, and maybe X.

You do know the line and circle commands, right? What graphics mode you using?

uh... that's pretty darn easy... at least in C++. Try figuring it out yourself.

Green: Thanks for the very thoughtful, insightful, extremely ever-so useful post.

BA: What are you talking about with the letters? And I'm using "screen 8"

Those would simply be the easiest to make.

I is one line
X and L are two
O is one circle

what's the res on 8?

I was puttering around, and I came up with this....

1 CLS
5 SCREEN 8
7 CIRCLE (75,25),25,5
9 CIRCLE (150,25),25,6
10 LINE (20,5)-(20,35),4
13 LINE (21,35)-(41,35),4
15 LINE (200,5)-(200,35),7
17 LINE (201,20)-(211,9),7
19 LINE (201,20)-(216,35),7

Hopefully this helps 'ya.
