PureBasic Forums - English

PB just gets better and better. The "new" C backend is incredible and seems to be working great with all my projects.

Massive thanx to Fred and all the team for the huge dedication involved in pushing PB forwards into a new era!

Not sure how long this has been in the ide, but it was always one of my wants... so just a thanks to all involved in implementing

...Also it would be nice to have a 'double click' on an array name ( arrays/linked lists/maps tabs) (in Variable viewer) to automatically select 'display all items (first option when right-clicked). And on the 'variables' tab double-click on a variable name would add it to Watchlist (first option ...

Goto PureBasic menu: Tools > Structure Viewer... In it there is a "Constants" tab which contains all the natively known constants and their values.

I started back in the days with an Acorn Electron. This had the same BASIC as the BBC Microcomputer. That was good as there were a number of books with examples for this computer.
I really enjoyed the tape-relais as this could be opened and closed with the *Motor-command directly. This relais ...

Wasn't there another thread like this before...?

I could have sworn I had assumed/interpreted Blitz Basic 2.1 on Amiga as the spiritual predecessor to PureBasic, which Fred confirmed.

Either that or I really am getting old... ;)

And rather than rehash a list i probably made already I'll say this ...

Thanx Fred and team.

Finding that more amusing than I should...

Long time! :D Congratulatons!

I don't actually recall when I first tried it... I used warez version for a while :P But I bought it in 2006 actually as a birthday present to myself. So I'm not far behind... A lot has changed and I've certainly had my $79 worth :D The only other software I've used ...
