support?

Post by pattim »

Dear PureBASIC users: I purchased purebasic from their website a few days ago (using paypal), but have not received any emails from them (checked my junk folder also). I send a request to their support email, no response. Does anyone know if they're on vacation or something? It looks like really great software, especially with the built-in IDE. I'm less interested in games than in numerics - does anyone know about compiler optimizations, parallel programming, and libraries like LAPACK, BLAS, etc.?

But the game stuff does look fun. Are there some examples of 3D engine game code?

Thanks!
Patricia

Firstly, welcome to PB and this forum, both of which are amongst the best there is :)

Concerning your purchase, have you checked your PayPal account to ensure the transaction completed?

Via this forum, you can send a private message to Fred (Fantaisie Software Head Honcho). Top-right of the page you should see a 'new messages' link, that will take you to your message panel.

Go to the Forum Board Index, there are a couple of dedicated sections, 'Game Programming' and '3D Programming'.

Rosetta Code
Pure Basic Survival Guide
PureBasic - A Beginner's Guide To Computer Programming by Kale (old but good)
Programming 2D Scrolling Games (superb book, not just about games programing, free)
PB Wikipedia
PureArea - tons of code snippets, libs and apps

I'd better mention that they contacted me and straightened things out. So I'm starting to fiddle around with coding a bit, and learning what I can import from other codebases. Thanks for the welcome. I've been webbing around about various basics out there. PureBasic is rated very highly. I am trying to find some numerical libraries - I just bought Numerical Recipes in Basic... :-)

There are a few discussions and references to libs on this forum (you can Google-search the forum).

This one might be of interest: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=47993
