Hello oryaaaaa,

Exchange game of user of ActiveBasic and PureBasic

believe me: i'am very interested in testing ActiveBasic. It sounds very
good. But unfortunately i can't read japanese. Is there a way to translate it to
english (or german )?



Greetings ... Kiffi

It would probably be better if ActiveBasic and HSP3 had a little contest
with each other.

HSP (Hot Soup Processor) is very active in Japan also.

HSP3 and ActiveBasic4 both are in Japanese`.

Although I can read Japanese, I can't make the ActiveBasic to compile a thing, either from .abp or .prj.

There's no warning or anything, just can't compile. using XP SP2 here.

There are executables on the project folders

Sorted this problem.

I have to use applocale, or change the locale to Japanese to compile it.
Dunno why but it works.

I'm sorry . It was not Exchange but it was FrendlyMatch.
It is my translation mistake.

ActiveBasic runs only in Japanese Windows.
There was a mailing list that made an English version in the past.
Please make it from PureBasic now.

To see the menus properly (in Japanese on non-Japanese system) you'll have to go into the Control Panel 'Regional & language options' and in Advanced tab, set the 'Language for non-unicode programs' to Japanese. This will install the Japanese fonts, and the characters will be presented correctly.

I've had a brief look at AB - first glance suggests to me that its built-in libraries are not a match for PB.
