    Note: You are welcome to save the program on the hard disk, but be aware that the systems are used by other students and your program may not be there when you return. The college is NOT responsible for making sure your programs are safe and backed-up.

11. Use Qbasic to draw a house. The house needs to have the following minimal features:
    • Pitched roof.
    • Window with four window panes.
    • Door with door knob.
    • Walls

    The following Qbasic commands will be helpful:  

    • SCREEN 12
      This sets the output into graphics mode with 16 colors and corner coordinates of:  

      (0,0)	--	(320,0)	--	(640,0)
      |		|		|
      (0,230)	--	(320,230)	--	(640,230)
      |		|		|
      (0,460)	--	(320,460)	--	(640,460)

    •   LINE(X1,Y1)-(X2,Y2),color
      This command draws a line from (X₁,Y₁) to (X₂,Y₂) in color.
    • LINE -(X1,Y1),color
      This command draws a line from the last point to (X₁,Y₁) in color.
    • LINE(X1,Y1)-(X2,Y2), color, B
      This command draws a rectangle with (X₁,Y₁) and (X₂,Y₂) as opposite corners in color.
    •   CIRCLE(X,Y),radius,color
      This command draws a circle of radius at (X,Y) in color.
    •   PAINT(X,Y),color,boundry
      This command fills the area bounded by color boundry with color starting at coordinate (X,Y).
    Note: Most of the above commands have other options.

    The colors are as follows:  

    0	Black
    1	Blue
    2	Green
    3	Cyan
    4	Red
    5	Magenta
    6	Yellow
    7	White
    8	Gray
    9	Light Blue
    10	Light Green
    11	Light Cyan
    12	Light Red
    13	Light Magenta
    14	Light Yellow
    15	Bright White

12. Turn your house into a neighborhood. To do this follow this sequence.  

    1. Scale all of your X and Y coordinates. For example: (210*S+X,311*S+Y). If you set S=1, X=0, and Y=0 your house will be unchanged. If you set S=.1, your house will be on tenth the size on both the X axis and the Y axis.
    2. Place the program in nested FOR loops for X & Y.

       SCREEN 12
       LET S=.1
       FOR X = 0 TO 620 STEP 60
       FOR Y = 0 TO 420 STEP 40
        Your House Program 
       NEXT Y
       NEXT X
       

    3. You can also PAINT your houses different colors using the MOD operator.

       PAINT (210*S+X,311*S+Y) (X+Y) MOD 16, 15
       

13. Do program 3, 4, or 5 from Baumann page 85 and 86. Have the program print your name as well.
14. Do program 1 or 2 from Baumann page 123. Have the program print your name as well.
15. Do program 1 or 2 from Baumann page 163-164. Have the program print your name as well.
