Programmer's Note
This author advises readers that the manner in which this program is composed should NOT be considered as THE definitive way of writing it.
In fact, this author happily welcomes alternative compositions from anyone who writes and compiles Powerbasic Console Compiler Programs.

*** SPECIAL NOTE ***
This author is currently using Console Compiler 5.05, so any submitted code needs to be compatible with at least PBCC version 5.
Look within the code presented here for notations on what needs to be changed for compatibility with earlier PBCC versions.

'  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.

Kube-0-Seven Source Code
¡¡¡   ¡¡¡   ¡¡¡     Compiled to EXE using PowerBasic Console Compiler Version 5.05   |||   Latest available PBCC version is 6.03     ¡¡¡   ¡¡¡   ¡¡¡

Programmer's Note
This author advises readers that the manner in which this program is composed should NOT be considered as THE definitive way of writing it.
In fact, this author happily welcomes alternative compositions from anyone who writes and compiles Powerbasic Console Compiler Programs.

*** SPECIAL NOTE ***
This author is currently using Console Compiler 5.05, so any submitted code needs to be compatible with at least PBCC version 5.
Look within the code presented here for notations on what needs to be changed for compatibility with earlier PBCC versions.
