Hello oryaaaaa,

believe me: i'am very interested in testing ActiveBasic. It sounds very
good. But unfortunately i can't read japanese. Is there a way to translate it to
english (or german ;-) )?

It would probably be better if ActiveBasic and HSP3 had a little contest
with each other.

HSP (Hot Soup Processor) is very active in Japan also.

HSP3 and ActiveBasic4 both are in Japanese`.

Although I can read Japanese, I can't make the ActiveBasic to compile a thing, either from .abp or .prj.

There's no warning or anything, just can't compile. using XP SP2 here.

There are executables on the project folders ;)

Sorted this problem.

I have to use applocale, or change the locale to Japanese to compile it.
Dunno why but it works.

I'm sorry . It was not Exchange but it was FrendlyMatch.
It is my translation mistake.

ActiveBasic runs only in Japanese Windows.
There was a mailing list that made an English version in the past.
Please make it from PureBasic now.

Making Hint

Code: Select all

Repeat
  GetCursorPos_(mouse.POINT) 
  Debug mouse\x 
  Debug mouse\y
  Delay(500)
  If GetAsyncKeyState_(5) > 0
    Debug "CLICK"
  EndIf 
ForEver
1.. Left
2.. Right
4.. Center
5.. BACK
6.. NEXT
You use 4..6

To see the menus properly (in Japanese on non-Japanese system) you'll have to go into the Control Panel 'Regional & language options' and in Advanced tab, set the 'Language for non-unicode programs' to Japanese. This will install the Japanese fonts, and the characters will be presented correctly.

I've had a brief look at AB - first glance suggests to me that its built-in libraries are not a match for PB.
