PureBasic Forums - English

If you had the time what would be your next big PB project?

Something you've always wanted to do but you find you never have the time for? Something that you think to yourself, that would be awesome if only i could get more than a few hours of coding done a night.

What would it be?

I would try to finish some of my PB projects:

=QONK=
PB*, eg.: PBpuzzle, PBarrows
BLOCKS
...

An IDE like Visual Basic's, with drag-and-drop for gadgets, and double-click
a gadget to code it's Click routine, and so on. Would pay for this, too.

I'd try to code a Purebasic Compiler, that outputs C code. Way to complex
for me yet, but one day I'll try...

The compiler would just be an academical project. (no need to worry Fred )

+1 on PB's

An interactive UML modeling tool which supports dynamic reverse engineering of sources for PureBasic.

+1 for the IDE too, but I don't see myself writing one. I'd rather spend the time figuring out how to implement support for PureBasic into Eclipse or NetBeans.

A Go program.

I'd have to win the lottery so I could quite my job to have enough time to do it so I don't really thing I'll ever get there.

seeing how long gomoku took me, I guess it's out of reach

being a total noob, the only app i managed to write with PB is a simple lame calculator and some small applets with simple functionality easily replicated using an ordinary batch file lolz..

but if given the time, i had always thought of writing an app which can parse contents from websites such as chordie.com and extract music lyrics and chords then format it in an easily viewable screen. the app would categorize into artist/genre/alphabetical store the downloaded music in its own database. it should also allow me the user to make correction to chords and lyrics and also enable me to move chord scales up or down if the key is too high or low.

You will.

For me, I don't know... OCR?

I'd like to write a MNG encoder but without IE/FireFox/Chrome supporting it natively, what's the f***ing point?! Seems like a great format though. I don't understand why it hasn't taken off.

Also, I'd to make some neat, quick functions for doing HSL drawing stuff. I'll get round to it one day, hopefully!

A generic VST framework, which could be used to make any VST I (or anyone else) wanted to make in the future.

Some kind of cyborg built from a cop killed in the line of duty, that would patrol the streets delivering justice (cross-platform).

I'd like to finish my pirates/oil imperium like game, but all my time goes to programming the IDE that PB is talking about .

Sounds good! Let us know if you need any testers!

Finishing Irrlichtwarpper with all addons and networked physics. *g*

Re-writing my MMORPG Engine in PB/Irrlicht *g* /ducks flame

Or write a virus like app that spreads around the internet then turns into a network like grid and becomes conscious & sentient which then trawls google and wiki to become more clever, is granted the title of a legal entity by governments around the world and brings peace and goodwill to all mankind curing famine and leading us toward colonising the stars.

I've made a start...
