Re: Watchlist, variable viewer

...Also it would be nice to have a 'double click' on an array name ( arrays/linked lists/maps tabs) (in Variable viewer) to automatically select 'display all items (first option when right-clicked). And on the 'variables' tab double-click on a variable name would add it to Watchlist (first option w...

Re: Minor Request: IDE Colour-Picker values

I never use the colour picker, but your suggestion is a sensible and valid one (and very much, "just do it anyway" territory ;) ).

Re: Inbuilt Constants

Goto PureBasic menu: Tools > Structure Viewer... In it there is a "Constants" tab which contains all the natively known constants and their values.

Re: Which BASICs have been you using in your life?

I started back in the days with an Acorn Electron. This had the same BASIC as the BBC Microcomputer. That was good as there were a number of books with examples for this computer. I really enjoyed the tape-relais as this could be opened and closed with the *Motor-command directly. This relais could...

Re: Which BASICs have been you using in your life?

Wasn't there another thread like this before...? I could have sworn I had assumed/interpreted Blitz Basic 2.1 on Amiga as the spiritual predecessor to PureBasic, which Fred confirmed. Either that or I really am getting old... ;) And rather than rehash a list i probably made already I'll say this: Pu...

As bad or good example - its another incentive to not to do stupid shit while walking this ball of dust. You, sir, speak a lot of sense. :thumbsup: He was wanted in Belize for susp...

Does this render DataSection useless? (how to access data objects in the DataSection without a label?)
I misinterpreted it the same way... but it's actually perfectly described in the text. ;)

Thanx Fred and team.

Re: Have a way to limit RAM USAGE and CPU USA of a applicati

but can I at least "measure" the amount of ram being used? to avoid that my users do not use more than the limit that I pre-establish? It totally depends on the application I suppose, but I surely imagine you can keep track of roughly how much memory you are using by keeping a tally of th...

Re: 360° = 0° ?

tl;dr ;)

Zero is a DISCREET VALUE. Unique. I like the confusion on faces when I explain that more fully to my non computing friends. It's a very simple concept that a lot of ppl seem to have trouble with :) (not directed at the OP)
