PureBasic Forums - English

Just use the FMOD libaries and you can easily use OGG and almost all tracker formats. And FMOD is available on multiple platforms and works perfect in Linux and Windows versions of PureBasic.

There are many you can, it depends on what you are using. Are you using KDE, Gnome, etc..., something compatible with all, etc... Try searching for XWindows API Libraries, those are compatible with all windows managers. I havent found exact replacements for either of those but they do exist within ...

Well what I have is the following:

I have an array of 2d arrays...images would be the easiest reference. say I have a 32x32 icon, I have 50 of these, and I want to store the pixel information so I can access it via:

Icon(#)\Pixel(x,y)\Red

What would be the easiest way to accomplish this within ...

Why doesnt the following work, is it not supported or am I doing something wrong.
I am still not used to some of the syntax that PureBasic uses

Havent tried it but as long as you have a sane gcc chain and the rest of the requirements met then it should, as all distros of linux are based on a central core.

However the widgets may not work unless the linux kit has Gnome, Kde, etc..., and SDL and whatnot installed. I dont know how the linux ...

Wrong. The last release I am aware of and according to PB's website is v3.50 Feb 10th 2003.

Some of us have the 3.79a test compiler (someone has to test it privately before you dump it on the public :P). The last "offical" release was 3.50

Yes I was refering to programing in general, not to ...

bfy: big f*cking yawn :lol: No offence intended, it's just that this topic keeps cropping up, then those "in-the-know" predict an imminent release without being specific (gotta keep those secrets :roll: )... heard the same for the past year but the Linux version just seems to slip further and ...

Some topics just go off-topic, i guess that's live in a forum.

And that is exactally what makes searching the forum difficult. Even if you know the command your searching for. How many commands have we mentioned here? Anyone searching for these commands will see this topic as well, and in forums ...

Ok, my earlier point allready was: PB is what it is, and even if it fits no
standart, it is still a good language.

And I never disagreed with that. Its a very good language without standards, but the false advertisement of "All BASIC Keywords supported" is not very helpfull. It gives the ...

Do you actually READ these posts? Or just skimm them enough to write your reply? If you notice MY FIRST POST IN THIS TOPIC has nothing to do with basic syntax, with fred's false advertisement, nothing to do with ANY OF IT. It was this community that started "the mud throwing" first. I was just ...

Post that BASIC standard and list of keywords, I want to have a look!

Why doesnt fred post such a list? He seems to claim that it supports ALL of them, yet there isnt any such list he could have used. But its obivous what the standards for basic are, look at basic 10 years ago, and the basic ...

I use PowerBasic7 for windows, IT conforms to the standard basic syntax where I can cut and copy code from almost ANY basic language and it works without modification in PowerBasic. Its speed (so far in my tests) is about equal to PureBasic, but it has had 15 years to mature, so its command list and ...

You misunderstand Pupil, Fred CLAIMS PureBasic support ALL BASIC KEYWORDS, (from a quote on the main site) which is a lie, an over exageration. If it supported ALL basic keywords (like the site says) it would have things such as DO : LOOP and a list of probably 100+ more commands. Although in most ...

The PureBasic way of naming functions, simply: full names, that describe
the functions purpose

So by your concept, MessageRequester should ACTUALLY be

SmallModalDialogBoxWithTextAndOptionalButtonsAndIcons

You have to draw the line somewhere.

"MessageRequester" ?? how does that describe what it ...

That has nothing to do with the forum search and everything to do with you needing to read the PureBasic documentation. Every language does things it's own way and PB is no exception.

But purebasic has BASIC in its name and claims to follow BASIC language standards, which it BARELY does. You ...
