PureBasic Forums - English

Looks very retro - enjoy!

Personally, I'm always keen to know of the choices available to me, so if there is a new programming language out there, I would love to know about it! :) I've begun using PureBasic for a quick Windows program I'm writing and it sure is fun to use! However, right now, I'm not using it for games, as ...

I've written a few databases before in Access, and you'll find that with a bit of practice, it gets easier. What kind of a medical database are you thinking about writing, jmatienza? Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Alpha Five.

Welcome.

Why don't you just use Access for your database? It's pretty good by itself, and much easier than programming something from scratch.

Glad to see another simian on this thread!

Anyway, that mmEngine3D thread is pretty interesting too...

Hey, thanks a lot for the tip, guys! I got my USB drive in the post today, FedExed from their U3 office which is just a few minutes walk from my house actually!

Indeed.....

I think it's obvious that with 3d support to rival Blitz3d/Darkbasic a lot of their users would come to PB in droves......

So why doesn't Fred concentrate on 3D ? The sales of PB would be huge.....

Maybe Fred has a different agenda than making money ?

I don't know the answers ...

Interesting, looks good, but I found this tutorial screenshot of a supposed water reflection leaves something to be desired, from a physics/scientific viewpoint...

I wouldn't write off Blitz Basic - I'm using it still to write my games. I don't know enough about GameMaker to comment... Am still learning to use PureBasic, but not for games.

It's really encouraging hearing all these projects. Will have to start a simple project myself soon!

Definitely! And thanks in advance!

Looks good, even for someone who can't read German! When's the English version coming out?!

I'm at Chapter 7 now - still makes good bedtime reading material, Kale! Here are a few more random suggestions:

- Page 10: "I have included many of examples" - delete the word "of"
- Page 24: when you first introduce the XOR keyword, perhaps it'll be good to explain that XOR is short for eXclusive ...

I didn't realize PureBasic has a one-pass compiler until I started reading Kale's book. I too would be keen for a two-pass option in the future because I'm so used to the latter. However, I do understand that it is not likely to happen, nor should it be one of Fred's priority!

>are you writing it in Japanese or English or some other language?
First, Japanese Version.
Because it is serious to translate help and the book ｂｙ KALE,
I writes it. I think that it can make an English version if there
is Shopro. Where is Shopro? :cry:

There can't be that many Japanese users ...
