Control over space and time... hang on a sec, the compiler already does that!

I would like to see a package/plugin system implemented. I basically would like to compile all my include files to DLLs. And then I would like to use those DLLs with a single line statement instead of Import or Prototype.

Example:

Code: Select all

MyPlugin = LoadPlugin("myplugin.dll")
Debug MyPlugin\MyProcedure(MyParameter)
Define Test.MyPlugin\MyStructure
Basically this would allow us to write a simple plugin system. It should be possible to use other packages inside a package.

My wish is a project management system like Assist for Liberty Basic, and a publish function like instantexe3 has,
only with a built in installer.

I want Backspace Unindent in the Editor (once again 8))

(Backspace Unindent 'aligns' the cursor with the previous line (if you press backspace it skips empty spaces..) - difficult to explain, but very natural ..
If you press Return, the cursor is aligned (to the previous line), too (I guess you all like this) and 'this behavior' makes sense for Backspace,too.
(I got used to it since I used the Delphi 7 Editor..)

Something a little different:

I'd like to see a native form designer for OSX.

I'd like the option of being able to use NIB files in OSX.

I'd like to see a move away from Carbon to Cocoa. I know this isn't trivial, though. Barring this, I'd like to at least have compositing enabled for the gui objects. HIToolbox, HIServices, and NavigationServices wrapped natively would be nice too.

AIR.

seriously.. Basic 3D Objects can be very handy.
e.g. for writing short samples..
Cube, Arrow, Cylinder, Sphere, Cone (,Teapot, House, Mouse, Girl :mrgreen:)
(of course everybody can create/load/save the needed objects... but for short code
snippets these 'predefined 3D Objects/Meshs' would be essential !)

Hello nase09

Sample models are available from the Ogre website........

http://www.ogre3d.org/download/demos

The 'Offical Demo' pack includes 22 models, including a sphere, a fish and a ninja (but no girls).

but that is the problem! (It would be nice to be able to
use some simple meshs without having to load them or including
much code to create them
...
being able to write some 'short impressive 3D demo stuff' could give Purebasic a real kick !)

(but of couse I like Ninjas :mrgreen:)

No backspace unindents does not align the cursor with the previous line. Backspace unindents does exactly what is says: unindents. If you are currently indented one more level more than the previous line then the cursor will be aligned with the previous line. Else not. What it really does is to delete spaces until it reaches a tab stop.

Well, it does not take that much code. One line to browse for the mesh files. One line to load the selected mesh.......

But it should be easy to define some basic shapes as Data, and then load via SetMeshData.

The complete code Indent/Re-Indent/Un-Indent native system for the IDE, just like jaPBe. Sorry about that but this feature is missing for very long time now.

And please don't tell me :
Use jaPBe and stop complaining. :evil:
PBSyntax created by Le Soldat Inconnu work only on the Windows platform
jaPBe run only for Windows platform

We have no solution for the Linux platform.

This is my wish for PB V4.50

Best Regards

Why someone is trying to store the posts who should be each one in its own separated thread under the "Feature Requests and Wishlists" area of the forum in a single thread :?:
