PureBasic Forums - English

Actually, I did better than that.


I read the documentation for the console library and is says for use in graphic mode. It does not mention text mode, which is what I work in and thus the reason for my suggestion.

I do alot of writing for CLI applications and I find the console support of Purebasic needing a revisit.

It'd be nice to:

1 - query the screen size

2 - turn on or off screen scroll

3 - support ANSI graphics

4 - And be able to place the cursor anywhere on the screen with simple PRINT@ or LOCATE ...

Well, new forum members who post that much in random topics are most often spam bots. Some of them are pretty clever and give logical answers. But you are always able to detect them by their high p/hrd (posts per hour after the registration date) rate and/or some made up member name ...

They were topics that interested me.


What's the problem with that?

And what spam did you see me post?

You must have something better to do than follow me around. Don't you??

I contract out. I charge $125.00 per hour.

Can I have a copy of your corrupted index.html file???

By all means OpenSource!

It'll get more eyes on it...

Have you tried drinking?

This is where I really have a problem with PureBasic and is one of the reasons I haven't bought a copy.... yet.

Every other BASIC I ever used, never split VAL() the way PureBasic does.

I mean really why the deviation? VA() VALF() VALD()...

It's counter intuitive...
