PureGDK - 3D Programming for PureBasic - translation project

[Mistrel]

The release of PureGDK 1.1.0 has solved many of the caveats of the previous releases, including framework to support language-agnostic error handlers and string functions. If users of the PureBasic French and German forums are interested in a native port for their language, here's your chance to get a free copy of PureGDK.

I'm offering a free copy of PureGDK Upgrade for users who purchase from PureGDK.com to the top three translators and half-off to all contributors, to be claimed at the time of completion for free or as a refund if you want to purchase early for testing. You will need to keep a record of your order ID if you want to claim a refund.

Rules for eligibility will come down to a vote by the community based on quality and participation, since I won't be able to understand anything you translate, I will have to rely on nominations by the community.

For any of you entrepreneurial users, automated translators from the web will help speed up the process but I expect you to go through and clean up any of the residual damage caused by the translation process. It shouldn't be difficult to write this kind of software in PureBasic to syndicate AltaVista's Babelfish web translation engine.

What is PureGDK?
PureGDK is a 3D game and application developer’s dream come true -- it streamlines the entire process of incorporating powerful DirectX 9 capabilities into your software.
Create and update your software faster, with more time to focus on fun. With PureGDK you can get instant results with human-readable code without the difficulty imposed by other languages and hard-to-program graphics APIs. Build the software you want now!

PureGDK was created to bring the power of the DarkBasic Professional engine to the PureBasic language. The result of this effort has created a fusion which brings powerful 3D graphics to PureBasic and a highly sophisticated BASIC language to DarkBasic Professional developers.

PureGDK is an intermediary compiler and a set of command libraries that interfaces the DarkBasic Professional and PureBasic language at compile-time. This allows DarkBasic Professional commands to be compiled to an executable and debugged right out of the PureBasic IDE. It also bring a powerful new command set to both PureBasic and DarkBasic users alike. Both DarkBasic Professional and PureBasic are required to compile.

Is PureGDK slower than a native DarkBasic Professional executable?
A PureGDK executable will run as fast or faster than a native DarkBasic Professional executable. This is because the machine code produced by PureBasic is designed for maximum speed and compactness. The execution speed of code produced by PureBasic can match almost any professional compiler like Visual C++.

Will PureGDK be expandable?
PureGDK comes with support for 20 third-party plugins which adds over 1,000 new commands to the already impressive Darkbasic Professional command set. PureGDK also provides a plugin framework which allows anyone to effortlessly add support for their favorite plugin.

Hello MISTREL

I'm not enough strong to help you.
Furthermore, i'm not a fan of the game

But i want to say to you WELCOME in the french forum, and good chance for your project.
I hope somebody of the french programmer want help you and participate at your great project

Bonjour MISTREL

Mon QI d'huitre et ma connaissance "sous-solesque" de la programmation ne pourrons me permettre de t'aider
En plus j'suis plutot utilitaires

Mais je tiens a te souhaiter la bienvenue sur le forum français, et bonne chance pour ton projet
J'espere que certains programmeurs français voudrons bien t'aider et participer à ton grand projet

[jbernard13]

Mistrel tu peux ecrire en français

C'est du DirectX 9 , nous on attends avec impatience notre DreamMotion like multi-plateformes .

Pas d'inquiétude, c'est dans le tuyaux, je suis 100% dessus et d'ici au WE prochain, je posterais pour dire ou cela en
est, avec une petite archive de test, les premières sources, etc...

[poshu]

I'll work a little bit on that.

[Ollivier]

Ho le piège à con. Je découvre ce topic avec grande surprise. Je clique dessus. Punaise: une demi-heure pour sauter les SIX sites qui me pompaient la communication à essayer de télécharger chaque pixel de toutes ces images. C'est le clic qui va faire plaisir à mon gourmand de FAI.

@Mistrel

You are a psychopath ! Too much images from everywhere ! For the same result, you had just to post one sample link! We go or we don't go. It's good.

Welcome! I didn't read you text. I suppose you want to learn the language of Moliere. It's a very good initiative. There is no more englishs here. So, welcome!

@Mistrel

Now, I read your text.

I expect you to go through and clean up any of the residual damage caused by the translation process

A priori, our language is not your priority...

Your language is top priority. Maybe it was lost in translation but that quote was in context of using a machine translator which would undoubtedly leave errors.

These translation errors are of great concern which is why I mentioned the requirement of cleaning up the text if one is used specifically.

[poshu]

I had a look at the template, it's far too much work for a single person, especially since most of us, french PB user, do speak at least a little bit of english...

[Mistrel]

That's why I'm offering a discount to all contributors. It's not limited to any number.
