PureBasic Forums - English

Back in the day I was coding 2d games in BlitzBasic, which was really cool. But it was fullscreen only, no way to open even a simple window with a button. In their online FAQ they recommended PureBasic for such purpose. Well, it was love at first sight.

Bought the full version through André, I ...

Awesome, thanks a lot for sharing!

This sounds interesting - and fun! Would like to try it and create a little text adventure with it. Is there any donwload without giving my email adress?

You need a screen to do this. Check the 2d and 3d Multimedia&Game Libs in the manual.
Here is another quick example:
ExamineDesktops()

width = DesktopWidth(0)
height = DesktopHeight(0)
vx = 2 ; speed of text movement x
vy = 2 ; speed of text movement y

; create a window...
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0 ...

Hello there,
I use this great module for several projects. With new PB-Versions I have the following problems:

PB 6.01 LTS:
Spell checking shows a black underline instead of the wavy red line.

PB 6.03 LTS:
Spell checking, text alignment and custom fonts don't work anymore.

My OS is Win 11 ...

@Infratec: This is really great - thanks a lot for sharing!

+1 for all three

Same here!

Thank you Fred and Kukulkan. This was exactly my level of knowledge in this matter and it is also the result of my own research.

License:
The license is LGPL and we are not statically linking (the binaries provided with the Linux distribution are used). So the license situation is the same as with Gtk. Commercial use should be no problem.

Again ...

I use PB also to write programs for customers.
If you read the license of Qt you will notice that you have to buy it in this case, and it is really really expensive
to use Qt for a commercial program.
Even if you use it only with external libraries of Qt you have to buy it.
That's the reason why I ...

Wow, this is really interesting. Very cool, thanks!

True words, DK_PETER. Thanks for this nice conclusion. Nothing left to say.

Yes, please! +1^256
