Re: PB IDE font setup ...

Hi Demivec,

I did this already, but then I lose all my graphic characters (Page437).
only when I use the OEM-US character set I can use the Page437 character set.

Re: Should I build my own sprite-based UI system or wait?

Hi skinkairewalker,

I wrote my own GUI in screen mode for my CAD/CAM program.
It was a lot of work, yes a lot of work.
but ...
I'm happy I did it, the result is stunning.
and I learned a lot of programming in PB, sprites and OGRE.

Greetings,

can we create and use shaders in purebasic ?

Hi,

after some time off, I restarted programming today.

I'm also following some courses on evening school in blender 4.5.2
so I can create stunning 3D objects for my 3D game.

and I want to try "shaders"
So, my question, can we create shaders and use them in purebasic (OGRE3D) ?


Thanks,
marc
