PureBasic Survival Guide

blueznl · Post by **blueznl** » Wed Sep 03, 2008 9:22 am

And another update. The Survival Guide should now be fully 4.xx'ed. I've just completed the sprite / screens section (which, no doubt, will get soon another overhaul).

(I may add the results of the FlipBuffers() / screen synchronization / sprite movement discussion later.)

Anyway, here's the link to the guide, as usual:

Comments welcome, money even more

Update. Add some stuff on strings, removed all broken links (I could find), fixed (or broke

) and clarified (or muddled

) lots of small things.

As usual:

Thanks for the cool stuff, I'll have a deeper look at this!

Is there an offline version (pdf) of this available as well?

No PDF, sorry, but there is a HTML download.

It's listed on the first page:

Well, there isn't much more to be said about it, I have to add a little on using MySQL, which is pretty much the same, and then that's done. I'm not trying to teach SQL on the fly, PureBasic is enough as it is

(I just wished it would support Blobs using PureBasic internal commands.)

Update. Changed a few pages to reflect the changes for 4.30 final, mainly related to .i integers.

Just a quick note: "x64 (Windows 64 bits) to generate 64 bits programs, etc." is not completely accurate: you can generate 32 bits programs and test them on the x64 Windows (so you can have 2 purebasic install on the same OS which ease the tests).

And: ".i is a new integer variable that is either 16 or 32 bits depending on the platform", it's not 16/32 bits it's 32/64 bits

Goodie! The master is reading my stuff! I'm not worth it
