Convert Blitz to PB

I scanned the forums for this but saw no direct bit of info... Has anyone ever worked out an easy way to convert Blitz (especially B3D) to PB?

I guess you have to do it manually, but maybe someone have a converter, I don't know.

I've done a couple (10 - 15) of conversions manually, but when it comes to some 3D commands - it's a pain in the ***...
[EDIT]
For 2D stuff a converter should be possible to make, at least for 90% of the code.

mmEngine3D... Have y'all looked at the source code examples... I think that would work!

Automatically, I do not know program which makes it.

Personally , fan of Blitz3D, the best engine for me to convert of the code Blitz3D
is Dreamotion3D. Example:

Blitz3D code:

Code: Select all

Graphics3D 640,480,0,3
SetBuffer BackBuffer()

mesh = CreateMesh()
surf = CreateSurface(mesh)

v0 = AddVertex (surf, -5,-5,0,  0  ,0)
v1 = AddVertex (surf,  5,-5,0,  1  ,0)
v2 = AddVertex (surf,  0, 5,0,  0.5,1)

tri = AddTriangle (surf,v0,v2,v1)

cam = CreateCamera()
MoveEntity cam, 0,0,-7

RenderWorld
Flip

WaitKey
End

PB+Dreamotion3D code:

Code: Select all

IncludePath "Include\"  :  IncludeFile "dreamotion3d.pbi"

Global  Quit.b

  If InitSprite() = 0 Or InitKeyboard() = 0 Or InitMouse() = 0 
    End
  EndIf

 
  DM_Graphics3D(640, 480, 32,  0, 1)
  

 *mesh = DM_CreateMesh()
 *surf = DM_CreateSurface(*mesh)
 
 v0 = DM_AddVertex (*surf, -5,-5,0, 0 ,0) 
 v1 = DM_AddVertex (*surf, 5,-5,0, 1 ,0) 
 v2 = DM_AddVertex (*surf, 0, 5,0, 0.5,1) 

 tri = DM_AddTriangle (*surf,v0,v2,v1) 

  *camera   = DM_CreateCamera()
  DM_MoveEntity(*camera, 0,0,-14)
  DM_CameraClsColor(*camera, 125, 125, 125)

  Repeat
  	ExamineKeyboard()
 	
	
    If KeyboardReleased(#PB_Key_Escape)
  	  Quit=1
    EndIf
 
   	DM_BeginScene()
    	DM_RenderWorld()
   	DM_EndScene()
  	
Until Quit=1
DM_ClearGraphics()
End

And a linky to Dreamotion? To make it easier to all who read these words with baited breath!

{sigh} No downloads available yet...

The version beta2 is available in DownLoad:
Dreamotion3D -> Download -> PureBasic ->

Package for PB,
PhysX package,
and some tools...

PS: you must register to acces all download section...
It is really a very good engine, it in version beta, but its potential is really
very important, for me it is already over the top of much of another engine.
Doc. on line is under development, and these creators are very cool and
very accessible…
