The ability for the Restore command to be followed by a variable and not just a label.

Example.

One word is all you need to know....Thinstall

It costs an arm and leg, but, to date, is crack/hack proof and provides the functionality (plus more) of what you are looking for.

Latest version even has anti-SOFTICE and attached debugger technology that prevents your code from being hacked once it's ...

An even sloppier and free'er method is to download OpenOffice @

Then load it into Word, I mean Text, and select File, Save As, .pdf

@Dreglor
1000s of lines of code? Woaa, that sounds cool. What does the acronym "ARRTS" stand for, and are you using OGRE, 3D Sprites, or 2D drawing to the screen programming?

@thefool
A cool game can be "free". Who said it couldn't? My question is not if the game is free, can it be cool? My ...

On one hand you are asking for other programmers to help you make your idea of a game reality because it is out of reach for just you, and on the other hand you want these same people, who you are asking to help you, to convince you they are worthy to help you? In otherwords, I need help, now ...

@Velo:

While I enjoy making wishy washy girly men like Codemonger break down and spew out foul language and cry , I don't know you. Who are you to me that I should take the time to argue with you or give you the time of day? Nuff said.

A high level command to make PureBasic a bit more of a R.A.D (Rapid Application Development) language, inspired by the CalendarGadget command.

A Tip of the Day, or just Tip Gadget. Many commercial quality programs have a Tip Window that opens up when first ran, with a Show Tips on startup check box ...

Right. That's good advice. Worse, I found the MSDN information to have large holes in it and ambiguity about certain API commands. Sort of like Microsoft was pissed that developers kicked their butt in court, and so under hostile "your head is in a lock grip", we'll make certain information ...

@Codemonger:
Give it a rest. What's this "people" crap. In every debate you ever get into on these forums, you always try and use "people" or the "community" in gregarious format, sort of like an old Socialist Soviet, to argue a point, and I certainly don't have the time to engage in name calling ...

Watch out when using API calls for color if you expect your software to run on all Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, computers (especially if it uses SetWindowCallback to redraw a task switched Window).

It cost me $$ and lots of angry clients when I added color to a Window with API ...

In the PureBasic Editor:

Under File, Recent Files, expand list to show the last 20 files used.

Also, drop the numbers 1 - 9, and in place put the full path of the file (i.e. C:\My Documents\test.pb )

MadMax:
So you're some self appointed forum dictator, deciding what is appropriate and what is not? Get a life.

Codemonger:
Funny stuff, maybe you should lay off the humor and finish the 2D engine you wrote the manual for over 1 year ago, a beta release, a version 0.00001, anything man.

A nifty little 3D Java race game that loads quick and has good enough graphics and just enough functionality to rate it a hair above cheezy. Almost as good as the PureBasic race game and probably a lot more difficult to program.

You write: "Also, unlike Pure, there is no restriction how you use the library functions that come with. You can make DLL's and use these functions as you wish.
Like every other compiler..."

If you read the small print on the other compilers, they do not allow this feature either. For example ...
