PureBASIC Progress?

[Steve Elliott]

Hi,

I haven't really done any programming in 6 months - what's changed (if anything) in the PureBASIC world?

I notice the site hasn't changed at all - I thought games like Lethal Judgment 3 and the like were going to be shown as good examples of what PureBASIC is capable of.

In the last 6 months PureBasic v4.00 went final (quads, doubles, etc) and now
Linux is being updated to match. Also the first tutorial book for PureBasic was
released: http://www.pb-beginners.co.uk

First for PB 4. But not the first book for PB, fwiw.

> not the first book for PB

What's the first then, and where can we buy it?

I just remembered -- you're the chess guy! What's your excuse for holding
up that good-looking game for 6 months?

Thanks for the info PB. I'll probably get that book as a reference - especially usefull when away from the computer (plus it has the latest version 4 code.)

The other PureBASIC book is Programming 2d Scrolling Games:

Black Knight has been on hold because the last 6 months of my photography course was quite manic, so I didn't have the time. Either running about the place (day and night) taking photographs, or writing the workbooks on photography theory. Working full time I simply didn't have the time for the chess program - until now.

EDIT
I've now ordered the book!
