I'm glad you like it! Any feedback?

Hi BASICBasher,

Apologies for the misunderstanding I created.

What I meant was that the black text on the blue background. I just felt that white text might be better.

I've been thinking the same thing, I'll just need to convince my sprite guy to draw another one. I'm terrible at artistic task ...

Hi BASICBasher,

Very nice, thank you for sharing.

One minor suggestion; would the colour of oxygen look better if it was white rather than black?

I don't know what the contrast is like on your screen but Oxygen is blue. In saying that I want to comply with official colouring standards whenever ...

Hello everyone!
Just something I've been working on recently, it's a program for drawing pictures of organic hydrocarbons.
I've tried to make things as easy to use as possible, all the things you need are in the toolbox just click on the pictures.
You can save and load your creations (there's some ...

I have rewritten the code to:

Procedure GSprite_ReadGroup(Name.s, *GroupData.GSprite_ActionData)
PreferenceGroup(Name)
If BoolPrefs("Used")
With *GroupData
\Frames = ValPrefs("Frames")
*GroupData\HasDirections = BoolPrefs("HasDirections")
If BoolPrefs("Tiled")
*GroupData\XTile = ValPrefs ...

Hey,
I'm a little puzzled by a error that I've been getting trying to pass a structure as an argument.

I created the following procedure to read groups of properties about a sprite from a configuration file.

Procedure GSprite_ReadGroup(Name.s, GroupData.GSprite_ActionData)
PreferenceGroup(Name ...

I use Microsoft Office a lot and I find the ribbon very useful. Sure, it takes a bit of getting used to if you have spent your whole life dealing with drop-down menus but I find it much easier to have one big block of icons instead of having to crawl through drop-down menus and submenus. It's much ...

Hello again,
Thanks for taking the time to read my essay and for all your helpful responses.
I've realized now that I probably should have checked it better for grammar/technical mistakes, particularly technical because there weren't any programmers around to help.

This project has taught me a lot ...

Hello PureBASIC users,
I am a Year 12 student studying in South Australia.
As part my study I must complete a compulsory subject known as the 'Research Project'. This subject involves researching and performing a task that is outside your knowledge area. I chose to write a computer game using the ...

I think the code is okay, I've smoothed it out a bit, probably just the crappy hardware I'm testing it on. Thanks for your help guys!

Hmm... I'm not sure which part to show you, would you like an archive of all my files?
There are a lot of areas that access the object array with: "For Counter = 1 To NumberOfObjects"
Could I do ForEach? If so, would that be quicker?

Yes, a lot of odd size sprites can add up. What is your memory use for your game when running?
11 MB according to task manager. The platform size goes from 50x5 to 200x10.
I discovered that downsizing my object arrays created a good improvement in framerates. This array records information about ...

Thanks again for your help guys.

@Tenaja: Excellent, one of my requirements was also good cross platform support.
@J. Baker: That's interesting. I have a lot of long thin platforms for my game, perhaps that is dragging down my framerate, could they be optimized?

Hey,
I'm a new user to PureBASIC, I'm an experienced BASIC user having used QBASIC, VisualBASIC and VB.NET but I am new to games development. I just started using PureBASIC and I have a few quick questions on a hobbyist game I am making. The game is a 2d platform jumping game.
1) When I have a lot ...
