PureBasic Forums - English

Thanks for that Shardik, that might be the best option. Maybe I can have it capture a screenshot, or export the results automatically - I will investigate.

Hi All.
I'd really like to be able to gather some hardware info using a shortcut program that is used on all the PCs at work. Ideally, I would take the user name and make an information text file for each user, containing their hardware specs, specifically the memory hardware that is installed ...

I was kinda in the same boat until I got a mac. I always wanted to learn C++, but books never seemed to hit home, they would never show me anything that I actually wanted to do.

But when I got a mac and an iPod Touch, I started using objective C++, for making iPhone games - and I was amazed at how ...

Looks great, I bet those keys make a lovely sound.

I think its probably worth $300, but shipping would be damn expensive, maybe $50 within your own country, probably double that if you sell it internationally.

I have seen one of these before, at a university ages ago - very solidly built ...

Demo's are a tricky argument - I mean the PureBasic demo lets you do lots, is very straightforward, and I'd say it is a well executed demo package. But still I only glanced over it when I first tried it - maybe 3 years before I actually started using the thing. I got PureBasic at work because it's a ...

Hehe, don't get me wrong, I know PS pretty well, actually I've used it since first trying it on a Mac about 15 years ago. But I still prefer doing more technical work in PSP. For instance, I find PSP very quick and easy to move and copy things, often I work with masks on a pixel level when texturing ...

I just bought PhotoshopCS4 - and to be absolutely honest I don't know why I bothered. I have a graphics tablet, and convention directs us toward Photoshop, it's supposed to be the best after all.

Yet I just can't do things as quickly or efficiently as with PaintShopPro, even free software like Gimp ...

World of Goo is awesome, easily the best indi game I've ever played, in fact we shouldn't say it's an indi game at all, because that suggest some sort of sub-professional aspects to it.

I completed it a while ago, and used to go back and try and make a massive tower - but haven't installed it since ...

This was the same case during VB6, the 'huge' runtime *every* enduser had to 'instal'.
And now VB6 is fine??! and vb.net sucks..?!

No, the VB6 runtime as only about 1.6mb - that's 100 times bigger. And not every PC has .NET installed already, that sort of assumption is what makes people press the ...

I wouldn't worry about it, I mean motherboards have so many safety protocols to adhere to, that if there was a problem you'd most likely know about it already. If any of the pins are no good, then it should be stopping the PC from working or in the very least telling you there's an issue. If your ...

Nintendo DS all the way. I have hundreds of DS games, but I find that simply playing some old emulated Speccy games is great. I'm usually half-asleep by the time I get to the first corner in Highway Encounter .

If I was more into writing game-style applications then I might use B3D or even BMax, but really for proper applications I'd still use PB. I'd probably consider PB for a game-style application too, but I've never pushed it in that direction. By Game-style app I mean something like a soundtracker ...

Never been a Marley fan myself either, not even sure why but his tunes just seem to grate on my nerves.

Personally, I'd have to say my favorite retro song has to be Moonlight Shadow by Mike Oldfield:

Best guitar solo in the whole 80's.

Purebasic and DarkbasicPro, GDK, etc are very different animals. You couldn't decide on just one if you use them both.

For instance I use both, I write bespoke applications in PB, as firmly believe that PB is the best option out there for writing these sorts of smaller applications. I mean it's ...

By 1 to 1 copy, do you mean that there would be a folder for each drive, and it would be a clone of it, file by file - or do you mean an image of each drive?

I have quite a simple backup system written in PB, you specify what you want and where and it'll copy it over, replaced files get renamed so ...
