Creating 3D Games,tools
My story:
Worked 3 years with 3dgx (name is changed;-) and got disapointed about how slow they improved theyr engine and theyr unflexibility (hell, even no .3ds import). I learned much.

Tested DBPrx 2 days and i learned what bugs realy are....

Changed to Blitz3X which is very easy,fast, sexy.... and still not flexibel enough for me.
Now i discovered PureBasic, and wonder if its better.


Err, okay, the question:
Its said it supports Ogre. Ogre good? Ogre fast? Ogre stable?
Is Pure Basic stable?
Is there something like Functions in Pure B.?

How can you have acces to ogre?
Pure Manual says there is a command for steering a camera.
Well, but what about Entitys etc?
Can i export .dlls?
Is there somethinfg done in 3D via Pure Basic i can see?

Take a look on the Ogre Website to learn more about it. Its not the fastes due to the behavior that it should be linux compatible.

Is Pure Basic stable?

Normaly Yes as long as you do not discover a nasty bug. But Bugs are fixed very fast and you can get the latest libs at www.purebasic.com/update

Is there something like Functions in Pure B.?

I think you mean Procedures!? Yes, this is implemented.

How can you have acces to ogre?

Directly over PureBasic commands. At the moment I would like to say that the 3d support is still more then experimentable. Nothing special yet, but enough to do some 3d scenes. 3d Collision support is missing atm.
I read something about, that a direct Ogre-API commandset should be implemented to access Ogre directly. But it does not seem to be available yet.

Pure Manual says there is a command for steering a camera.
Well, but what about Entitys etc?

There is an Entitylib included from version 3.70.

Can i export .dlls?

Yes.

Is there somethinfg done in 3D via Pure Basic i can see?

Examples are provided with the purebasic package for nearly every command.

Wow...and the people in the forum are kind;-)


Mh, downloaded some ogre demos....not ultra fast bad good enough.
Hope PureBasic will enhance its 3D skills like the open ogre api you mentionet.

Thanks for quick answering
