Waiting for the next Alpha (probably today)

The anticipation...

Most intriguing start for the year 2014, Spiderbasic!

PureBasic is a true inspiration for many of us. It is flexible and fast in both development and execution speed.
SpiderBasic may still be a bit buggy and much slower thingy, but it will spread like hell! Believe me, It will soon crawl under our beds, pads and phones!
The WEB has been the final frontier for PureBasic. Now (finally?) it's the time to boldly go where the PureBasic hasn't gone before.

Another paying customer here!

Make peace and not war..
Where is the problem?. We are here to learn and share, not to make another war. (the politics do this, no need us)
programmers are all united by a thirst for knowledge. It hurts to see people who taught us so much arguing.
Bury the hatchet of war friends. This forum is as is (the best), because are all of you!

Where is the next alpha?
and thanks in advance Fred!

where is my beer?

To laugh!
Doctor, doctor, as was the operation?
I do not know, I'm san pedro!

Yeaaa!!
Its really true, I think same, friend!
Ten points for you!
kiitos friend!

I don't really log onto the forums very often. But I thought I'd take the time to come on and say that's to Fred for SpiderBasic.

I've been a web and application developer for years. Using this I will be able to easily make GUI examples for the apps I'm working on... Possibly even build fully functional front ends for end products for people "on-the-go"

Thanks again Fred

I like the one code for all platforms but don't like the cloud services built around web views widgets, hopefully Spider gets to a stable state and doesn't suffer the fate of TGC's AGK and some others.

Thanks for Alpha 2!

Ok, so I just tried this out using Wine on OS X. I ran the "Screen" example which runs fine. Then I opened it in PureBasic knowing there was some rewriting needed in order to get it to run. Then after a little thinking, if you make a game in SpiderBasic or PureBasic, this may take some major rewriting to in order to export from both apps.

Sorry for my confusion but I thought SpiderBasic would be compatible with PureBasic source code? Granted I know this is "Alpha" but SpiderBasic could ignore things like, "End", UsePngImageDecoder", etc.

Will definitely give it and Fred more time, just wanted to state what I thoughts so far.

Thank you for the second alpha.

maybe we could open a new topic to collect icons or logos for SpiderBasic

Can you please support InputRequester() for the next alpha?
I want to be able to input strings online and perform calcs on
them to display the result. Thanks!

[Edit] BTW, Mid() is buggy:

Code: Select all

m$=Mid("12345",3)
MessageRequester("Mid",m$) ; Shows 12 instead of 345

Also, how do you run your HTM files on your website?
I copied the test code above as an HTM file to my site
but nothing shows when I go to its URL. What is missing?

You need to edit the html and change the "/spider/javascript/..." paths to the path of the javascript drawer on your server (which should be the content of SpiderBasic/Libraries/JavaScript). It should work. If you put this on a linux server, you have to ensure than filename correctly named (linux is case sensitive). You can also open the developper console of your browser, it should gives more info about errors.

Is it possible to have a zipped version of Spiderbasic?

No, we don't provide zip alternative. Is it an issue with the installer ?
