Re: PureBasic or Q7Basic?

If you have alternative opinions based on nuances like facts(note how everything I said is paraphrased from the front page of the blog..), you're a "troll".. how convenient

It's no wonder there are over 20 bugs the two devs admittedly don't have the skills to fix.. This IS just a FASM generator and ...

Re: PureBasic or Q7Basic?

EDIT: I don't think most people here realize how close to abandonware PB is.. The few developers all have jobs and lives which historically speaking, always leads to abandonment of demanding products and projects.. It's proprietary too, so if they don't work nothing get done..

Re: Windows 8 tablet programming?

No, but its safe to say it will not work. At least until Fred makes a ARM version of PureBasic. In which I highly doubt he will giving the platforms the team have to cover at the moment. I guess if you wanna really code for tablet, you might as well use Visual Studio so you can utilize the new ...

Re: GetFileDate & time zone

store utc/gmt offsets and be done with it.

use constants preloaded on win/nt, use shell output parsing on others with date commands; i dont think there is a universal api for this on bsd or linux..

Re: PureBasic or Q7Basic?

I will say, ogre is the only real drawback, because of the model formats and the lack of modern tools for them. There is one level tool for ogre formats, and it's nightmarish bad.. might as well say nothing for rigging and animation, topology has to be worked for mesh converters..

Re: PureBasic or Q7Basic?

As you mention Qt, Purebasic uses native OS calls for windows and gadgets, which I think is a big plus (for us, not for the developers :P ) Not really, PureBasic doesn't use native OS calls on linux. It uses GTK there instead of Xlib (which would be way more native). It could also use Qt instead ...

Re: [Crossplatform] HTTP GET / Download *without API !*

Why is this such a big deal? coding POST and GET handlers using PB network functions is simple, even when doing it right and implementing gzip encoding and chunking..

Re: How to create a new folder with a unique name

you could make my code use increment wrapped in enclosures and get the same result. Why use non-scalable native API?

This is like making a mountain out of a mole hill..

Re: USB video camera help

With base API you can do it through WMI without using subsystems or driver channels directly.

You need a codec to put the frames into video wrappers and bitstreams.

Re: TCP/IP Network Speed Check

the smart way to do this is just with pb net and time elapse functions. You can use this with fixed sized file downloads and get good data off averages.

This is how speed check websites do it in flash too..
