Introduction

Boarding is the first ever snowboarding game in QBasic. The game play was made to resemble a old favorite "Ski Free" made by microsoft in 1992. Boarding differs from ski free in as many ways as it resembles it. First, no monster at the end, sowwy. Boarding also uses real time physics to make the speed of the boarder accurate. The boarder also has a trail behind him left from his snowboard. Also, a plus is the mod sound we added in :). The similarities are the scoring system and tricks.

The keys for this game are somewhat tricky, but there's really no good way to control a character 360 degrees in a 2d game.
 

Left and Right keys rotate and control the boarder

The Up key, while in the air, will let your boarder do a Indy grab worth 10 points

Again the Left and Right keys, while in the air, will rotate your boarder to do any combination of spins. The more spins and combinations, the more points! However, if you do not land tricks, points will be taken away.

Problem: When I run Boarding it says int error%
solution: you computer won't allow the game to use the computers memory (EMS). There is a simple way to fix this.

1.    use FIND on the START MENU to search for config.sys
 

2.    once your pc has found this file, attempt to open it. you will see a box pop up asking which program to open config.sys with.... choose NOTEPAD

3.    Look for the line
 
 

 4.    Then simply delete "NO EMS" so you have the following in its place
 
 

5.    Now, save the file as "config.sys" replacing the old file.
Restart your pc and your ready to run boarding.
