My goal is to make it work and look similar to MS-DOS. Since MS-DOS has no shiny, pretty gui like windows, the simulator is going to be text based. Once I have that done and learn more SmileBASIC, I'll get to work on a graphical os thingy.

Thanks! I've got it.

So, INPUT "",A$ can be used instead of A$="echo bananas" for user input? Well, thanks for the help! Now I have to get back to my DOS simulator.

I'm working on a DOS simulator that resembles MS-DOS. Can someone help me develop this? I am aiming for almost all the DOS commands most DOS-based operating systems have, such as echo, dir, cd, etc. Also I am working on a text editor for it, but that really needs a lot of work. Anyone in?

How do you print only part of a string? For instance the input is "echo bananas" and the output is "bananas".

Thanks, that helps a lot. I'm going to have to learn more about arrays in smilebasic. Are they usually constructed similar to arrays in C++?

Is it going to be a side-scroller?

What's the key?

Can someone please show me an example of how to save and load to and from a .dat file?

What's the key?

Who did?

How long did it take to code that game?

Great! I like lots of work! If it's coding, of course.

Can a basic "chat bot" be created with this?

I know quite a bit of C++. Should the language be easy for me to learn?
