PureBasic Forums - English

@Fred: Not to complain, I'm super happy we finally got adequate Joypad support, but there is a Problem with the Joystick lib.
The analog triggers on an XBox 360 style controller are treated as the positive and negative axis of Pad 0, z Axis... that doesn't really work that well, because if you pull ...

@DoubleDutch:
Do you actually think that is a good idea? IMHO there is absolutely no reason to be able to run the same App on Desktop, Tablet and Phone. The usage principles are so different that I highly doubt that you could write an App that would work equally well on each without actually more ...

What I would like to see is full support of an XBox360 style controller (10 digital buttons, two analog triggers, two analog sticks and a digital dpad) and at least two of those controllers.

Hello Fred. PureBasic has come along nicely and especially the 3D features are really great in PB5...
... but (aw man, always these buts) I am *befuzzled* that we have reached version 5.0 and the joystick functions still only support one joystick with one single digital stick. That really blows my ...

I would say that strongly depends on what you are trying to do. I wanted to write a level editor for the game engine I'm working on. It is impossible IMHO to do that in an acceptable manner for mutiple platforms. A major problem is the fact that you have no way of getting events you would require ...

Maybe PureBasic is a Precompiler that actually generates C/C++/Obj-C/Obj-C++ code.
Maybe it uses XCode just as a linker, building an app from Obj files that the PBCompiler generates.

Whichever is true, I doubt that it will be a general Problem with the Mac Appstore, but violations of the Human ...

That does only works with an Gadget as i understand it, and i can't use one since i have screen on a window in which I'm trying to do things with the mouse. I can't use the screen mouse functions either, since they don't play nice with the gadgets on the screen around it.

I can't even try it right ...

Okay, so i figured out how i can find my Mouse position on a Window by just checking its coordinates whenever an unknown (-1) event happens, but i can't find out how to get an mouse button click on the Window. How do i do that on OS X?

Not to spam my own question thread, but the problem might actually have its source in my OS installation. While it would be strange that the debugger works when used from the PB ide, I did encounter a problem with another debugger unrelated to PureBasic: the freepascal debugger crashes on my system ...

Didn't work. The Debugger still crashes and the commandline compiler has this to say:
"Loading external modules...
Error: Line 0 - Can't load any OSLibraries! Please re-install PureBasic."

I gradually kept adding to the envars everything i could Imagine, so they look like that now:
"export PATH ...

Thank you, I will try that when I get home.

Does anyone now how I can get the standalone Debugger/Compiler to run/run from bash?
I always get "Cannot run xyz.pb" when I try.

The reason why I want to do this is because I would like to use PureBasic with the TextMate Editor.

I think there was a good reason why C didn't allow that which i can't seem to remember right now. Maybe that is a slow thing to do?

I'm going nuts trying to read the MouseWheel on OS X in a normal GUI application. Could we have an PureBasic constant thrown by Mousewheel events instead of just -1 all the time please?

Please, no one suggesting using a Screen and the 2D Game Mouse now.

Not to mention it is insanely small and likely not much pain to support.
It is one of the most widely used scripting languages in game development, powering titles such as the Far Cry/Crysis franchise and World of Warcraft.
