PB-Compiler for X-Box?

Since the X-Box is a legacy-free PC with a small Win 2K Kernal it should be relative easy to extend the compiler to produce x-box executeables (XBE). The only problem I see, is to convert the game libraries (Direct-X) to the x-box (In my opinion only the game related libraries are needed!). With the official XDK it should be easy work, but without it's quite impossible until a free SDK is available.

So let's hope that some really cool Games come up programmed in Pure so that it makes sense to port them to the X-Box to sell more copies!

For me I'm sure I'll stick to Purebasic forever, i coded a lot 6502, 680X0, 80x86 assembler and a bit Basic on the C64 and i don't want to learn C++. I also bought Blitzbasic, Darkbasic Pro and non-Pro and I don't like them.

So i'm happy with Purebaisc getting better everyday!

Yours sincerely

I probably need to improve a lot the 3D side, else it willn't be much useful..

Yes, ofcourse! But i think it's a delightfully thought to play around! For me it means to have the possibility to provide lots of different systems with my creations!

I wouldn't ask for a Gamecube or a PS2 version. But x-box seems to be in reach in a couple of years!

Hi freak,

no i don't even think about a Gameboy version, since I bought Dragon Basic to port my apps to the Gameboy advance! If there's already a version for AmigaOS and Linux, why not ask for X-Box? It's widely spread and i think more in action than Amiga!

I've got my Amiga 4000 PPC still functional, but i wouldn't use Purebasic to develop a game on it. I did all my programms in assembleer. But without Amiga OS 4.0 running on really new Hardware it makes no sense to me developing for it!

Keep your eye on the following site. May not even need a official/ unoffical SDK
