PureBasic Forums - English

Hall to all.
I'm a Blitz user and i visit the PureBasic site much time because i'm tempted to buy it .
I have some questions.
The PureBasic command that create sprite with 3d effect are perfectly utilizable or they are in development?
Also.....there are much difference (from bb types...) in PB structures,or they are similar in functionality(but i hope not in the "unfunctionality" hehe)?
Also....i have read strange things about the sound...if i release a game made in pb i have to pay royalty to someone?
Also....pb is in costant development or is in some manner like bb that it's autor rarely talk about it's development?
I hope that the questions are not childish,but i'm in serious doubt about switching language(also because of the many toool that i have for bb....one and for all Protean editor).
Ha sorry the ultimate thing....i have downloaded the editor for PB but all i see is a strange icon in my download directory...but if i double click it...nothing happen -_-'

Welcome aboard the PB van...

1. Depending on what platform. In windows the 3dSprite command works quite well. On all the other platforms, it does not exist. So don't expect to do any cross-platform game development

2. I donno, never used BB

3. Not with the sound engine that is included with PB. But some people here use FMod (I stay away from it due to legal reasons), and some use Audure (I believe that is the name). Audure is free to use AFAIK.

4. PB is constantly in development. We get some hints here and there for what's in store in the next version, but not much There is a roadmap somewhere on these forums..

hi wellcome aboard.

PB uses Linked Lists which are similar to BB's types, only difference is that they are more powerful.

3D sprites work very well.

Dunno about your install problem, try finding the PB exe and launch that.

Thanks for the reply!
I have resolved the problem and i'm starting to play with the PB demo!
