PureBasic Forums - English

I am quite surprised to hear from that now! But don't misunderstand me - the purpose of the post is not to ask how to get to 100fps but to switch to some other API in order to be able to measure Milliseconds properly!

Better example is that: it is nearly impossible to write a sounds application ...

make auto-save optional

all right I'll end the discussion here, from my point everything was said and maybe Fred will find the time to implement the one or the other.

Cheers

I think a good option for you would be to have an autosave feature like in OpenOffice: autosave code every 10 minutes ... so in any case you will always fall back to a very recent version. Agree on that.

Additionally to the autosave of files there could be an outosave for the pb config file, and ...

Code is saved every time you hit the compile button, so we don't really need a code-recovery mechanism. In a crash, code recovery is actually more harmful than it does good, as the files are very likely to show some corruption.

Yes. Everytime a new file is opened the configuration file of pb should be updated. In a crash no single tab would be lost.

fred decides what is best on which OS ;-)

and no... if I was a PureBasic beginner, I'd better not start with scratch :-) I'd rather start to compile some example programs and see what happens. That's how I learned Purebasic. But what if the compiler doesn't compile? You'd probably just throw the ...

+ 1 for a drop-down-list.

+ 1 if the best subsystem is selected when you install PureBasic, until
the user specifies something else. The "beginner" should never be
faced with having to select a subsystem - it just has to work.

one question: what is default in Linux when nothing is specified?

Totally agree.

- It is essential for real time effects - imagine a car bumps into another. CollisionSurface returns the surface that was involved, CollisionTriangle returns the triangle that was involved. And now a little GetMeshData + SetMeshData, and there is THE BUMP!!

- You all know FarCry 2 ...

It was announced that TextureOutput() has disappeared. So how do I use the command CreateTexture now sensefully without the ability to access the created texture?

Glad for your help, maybe I missed something,

I would opt for the easiest way:

DownloadHTTP(netadress,target$ [,referrer [,user-agent [, proxy [, whatever ]]]])

So that you can do download hard or easy with one command:
DownloadHTTP("www.purebasic.com/index.htm","C:\index.htm")
DownloadHTTP("www.purebasic.com/index.htm","C:\index.htm","www ...

agree.

Well, I wouldn't say it is ugly, I like the idea of theming.

But I think the blue is just too strong. Make it a really light blue, and it looks fresh and cool and doesn't kill anyones eyes. I wouldn't like that all the work was in vain.

If you are in a generous mood, you could make the background ...

sorry... I see it now :-/

I agree.

So it should also be available when the debugger is off! Simply add "Start with time checking" to the "Run" menu.

The debugger has to perform runtime checks

- True but irrelevant: Who sais I want the debugger while time testing?
