' LATEST REVISION ... November 30th 2020
' PRE-PROGRAM NOTATIONS
' Nothing fancy or elaborate here. Just some simple fundamentals to learn from and build on.
' This is a demonstration of --
' 1. Raising Numbers to the Power of 3 - IE, 3x3x3 is 27 - An Example of "Cubed" Numbers.
' 2. Placing commands for various tasks into specific SUBs and FUNCTIONs.
' 3. Creating User Menus and Prompts, along with supporting on-screen displays.
' 4. Custom creation of FUNCTIONs to assist in program flow, control and appearance.
' In this demonstration program, the two key FUNCTIONs are as follows ....
' a. MasterAll -- Control of major program sequences (Main Menu; File Saving;
' print out to hard copy or PDF; exit from program)
' b. NNQuiry -- Serves as a common menu choice selector for different parts of
' this demo program, utilizing pre-fixed number codes to generate
' specific actions and responses.
' 5. Custom creation of SUBs that control on-screen displays and output to
' other devices. Two key SUBs in this demonstration are as follows ...
' a. DaMainDisplay - Generates on-screen menus and supporting information
' b. ShowDaResults - Generates the KUBE data for on-screen display, as well
' as for file saving and/or print out.
' 6. Custom creation of SUBs for file saving (KnameDaFile, DoFileSave and
' DaSaveFileMenu) and output to printer or PDF (DoPrintOut)
' 7. A further note about FUNCTION NNQuiry
' In addition to using single letters (F P S G X etc) for specific actions, usage is also
' made of certain non-alphabet and non-numeric board keys for demonstration purposes. These
' particular keys are represented in the form of special CHR$ codes. For example, the Escape
' (ESC) key is CHR$(27), while the F-1 Key is CHR$(0,59). Following is a listing of available
' CHR$ codes for the non-alpha/non-number keys.
' CHR$ Code KEY CHR$ Code KEY CHR$ Code KEY
' 8 Backspace 0,63 F-5 0,77 Arrow Right
' 9 TAB 0,64 F-6 0,72 Arrow Up
' 13 Return/Enter 0,65 F-7 0,80 Arrow Down
' 27 Escape (ESC) 0,66 F-8 0,71 Home
' 32 Space Bar 0,67 F-9 0,79 End
' 0,59 F-1 0,68 F-10 0,73 Page Up
' 0,60 F-2 0,87 F-11 0,81 Page Down
' 0,61 F-3 0,88 F-12 0,82 Insert
' 0,62 F-4 0,75 Arrow Left 0,83 Delete
' NOTE 1 -- You could use "Cursor" in place of "Arrow"
' NOTE 2 -- Any F-Key that has been programmed to return specific characters rather than its
' default CHR$ code can not be used as responses to INKEY$ or WAITKEY$ inquiries.
' For example, if the F-8 key is programmed as follows ....
' KEY 8, "EXIT"+CHR$(13)
' .... then that particular F-key will not return its default CHR$ code. To restore
' the particular F-key to its default state, do as follows ...
' KEY 8, ""

#COMPILE EXE "..\EXEs\Kube-0-Seven.exe"
#COMPILER PBCC 5
' The code herein is compatible with PowerBASIC Console Compiler Version 5.00 or higher
' If compiling with an earlier version of PBCC, use that version number instead. Also,
' be sure to look within this demo program for notations about lines needing to be
' changed for compatibility with earlier PBCC versions.
#DIM ALL
' #INCLUDE "win32api.inc" ''' For special calls and functions. Was not needed in this demo.
' If not compiling with PBCC Version 5.00 or later, then as per the demands of your
' particular compiler you may be required to DECLARE each of the FUNCTIONs and SUBs in
' this program. All such DECLAREs are placed at this point in the coding. A DECLARE line
' starts with DECLARE and then all of the exact syntax of the particular SUB or FUNCTION's
' first line.
' Two examples .....
' DECLARE FUNCTION AT0(BYVAL RRow AS LONG, BYVAL RCol AS LONG) AS STRING
' DECLARE SUB DaMainDisplay (GeeMode AS LONG, GeeXtra AS LONG)
' The DECLARE'd SUB and/or FUNCTION will reside elsewhere in the program
' NOTE -- FUNCTION PBMAIN usually does not require a DECLARE.
