Basically if you patch a string by putting a zero in it, the Len() function will be wrong, and the concat functions will fail. You will need to use PeekS() for this.

Please, for really stupid people like me, can you explain in layman's terms what that actually means? :o
Kinda afraid to install ...

Interesting, thank you!

Just curious: what would the "button ID translation routine" do, exactly?
I can call the procedure with a String (e.g. "#PB_Keyboard_Return") and then get in return the respective buttonID (#PB_Keyboard_Return), and another procedure with a vice versa functionality (pass a variable, and get the ...

OK, thanks, thought so.
But interesting nonetheless, that C# can do that.
No biggie. Was just asking, because I'm currently coding the custom keyboardMapping routine in my game.
Gotta do this manually then with a "buttonID translation routine".

I wonder if this is possible ...

I declared a variable:
Now I want to output the name of the variable as a string$, so when running the program, in the Debugger window it should print:
Thanks!

Alrighty thanks.
That's reassuring, I'll be patient then.
Thanks @ Fred & Team. <3

Uh, sorry, just installed the latest stable build 6.21, and the issue still persists (only under DirectX9)?
OpenGL and DirectX11 work fine.
The above snippet still applies for that matter.
Thanks!

OMG, you're the Best, thank you thank you thank you!

Thanks, great to see new updates to my favorite language. <3
Please, please, please don't forget about the "RotateSprite"-Bug, though.

Thanks for confirmation. Waiting for this to get fixed, as it is breaking some visual effects in my game.

Good to see you back at doing your thing.

Great Interview, thanks!
Good to see PureBasic is still actively supported, patched and developed.

Hey all,
noticed an issue with RotateSprite(), only apparent with subsystem DirectX9 (no issues under OpenGL or DirectX11).
When rotating a perfectly square sprite 90° or 180° or 270°, the new Sprite is cut off by 1 Pixel, and also shifted, so there's one line now 2px wide, while one side is missing ...

Just tested latest Beta with my 63k lines Game Project "The Ruins of Calaworm". Runs fine and fast as ever, in all 3 Substystems ( DirectX9, OpenGL and DirectX11 ), No CompilerIf exceptions needed. Especially stoked, that FullScreen TaskSwitch in OpenGL now works flawlessly!
Awesome work, Fred ...

FYI: TransparentSpriteColor() no longer defaults to full black - now it has to be defined always, after creating a new Sprite.
