Re: Which BASICs have been you using in your life?

Hi,

I started learning programming in the 80's with Commodore Vic20, then GW-Basic and TurboBasic.
Then I did some professional programming with some QuickBasic and Visual Basic, and used Basic on PSION PDA's too.
After I worked with Clipper and FoxPro and since 2000 I work professionally with ...

Ideas needed

Hey ppl. I have a basic question (no pun intended). I have the programming chops to make just about anything I can think of... my problem is, I have no ideas on what to actually make. Is there something anyone can think of that would be very useful (that preferably doesn't already exist) on all 3 ...

Re: Took the plunge...

Thanks for the warm welcomes. This is going to be quite a learning curve for me. I have never used anything like Visual Basic/Studio, etc... nothing where you manage "Projects" with multiple sources etc... I am used to coding everything inside of 64k and usually as one single file (source)... even ...

Took the plunge...

I finally took the plunge and purchased. I have been mulling this decision over for a very long time. Most of what kept me from doing it was the idea that I would never actually use it to code. I grew up in the 80s with a Timex/Sinclair 1000 and a Commodore 64. I learned the joy of programming on ...

Re: Suitability for a game

Would PureBasic be suitable for a city building game using OGRE for the 3D engine? (I really don't want to have to learn C/C++/C# if I don't have to)
I am thinking of something similar to Ancient Cities or Ostriv

PureBasic is definetly fast enough, check out the demo version
of PureBasic and see ...

Re: Demo 3d - Ocean

Why don't you move the camera (line 174) ?
MoveCamera(0,0,10,10)

Did you test this? It doesn't resolve the issue, at least for me.

I've noticed that it seems to happen more at high amplitudes.
No, you're right, I've not sufficiently tested, there's still some glitches coming randomly. I ...

Suitability for a game

Hello all. I have a couple of questions.

1. Is PureBasic being actively developed still on all 3 platforms (Win/OSX/Linux)?
2. Would PureBasic be suitable for a city building game using OGRE for the 3D engine? (I really don't want to have to learn C/C++/C# if I don't have to)


Thanks for any ...
