PureBasic Forums - English

The game looks like a brave effort. I am favorably impressed. Keep up the good and exciting work!

Hello Andre Lots of us out in the world are "night time" programmers with a day job of whatever. The work you have done here is IMPORTANT! We don't always come here with a good computer background. I have recommended PureBasic to several people because it is great software. But something l...

The tile generator pics look great.
Yes, I would like to use it, but the .exe from the download does not work on my mac.
I would like to try it if you get a mac version one day.
Wishing you the best,

Maybe someone out there has the same question today -- 2020. I have a few very basic observations about the original question. There are two "nice to use" languages. They are PureBasic and Python. Both are pretty understandable languages. The syntax for both is direct and pretty logical. P...

Hello,
I have tried to find the famous "book of Kale", but keep getting a link to a closed New Zealand web site. Can anyone tell me where I can find a good link to an English language copy of Kale's book? I would be thankful.

Hi Everybody, About my previous posting. Problem solved. I found this old reply from Fred, a long time ago. It fixes the issue I was having with OpenConsole(). I am quite happy I can return to my old ways of programming with pure basic! No more Matlab. Maybe a bit of Python. This is a great forum &a...

Been out of the loop with pure basic a few years. Upgraded Mac OSX from Snow Leopard to High Sierra 10.13.6 Pure Basic quit working Added X-Code 9 to Mac per forum suggestion. Can not get 10.1 any more Pure Basic working with debug and with MessageRequester BUT I can't seem to get an OpenConsole. No...

Andre, Its been a few years & I am not sure you will see this but I am hopeful. The We Start chapter is very good. And I think I may have a use for it. Maybe. I have been away from PureBasic for a few years for various reasons. I have been programming in Python but I really like PureBasic a grea...

Your dialog is a bit long and detailed but I think I get the drift. My brief comment is that in the areas I have tried to work with pure basic, it has proven to be fast, stable and fairly reasonable in terms of syntax, command "understandability" etc.. It has adequate features to build 2d ...

I bought the book a couple of months ago & read it. My reaction is: 1. Book is logically organized & composed. Writing style effectively communicates problem, scope & solution 2. First half of book provides commands in context of games.Its a language tutorial in context. Brief programs t...

Having lived in various places, I would say a programmers pay is related to his living expenses and other factors. Working with people from other cultures brings with it problems- more problems than we have with people from our own culture. Whether it is worth hiring an overseas programmer will depe...

I planned to donate to PureBasic after I found out how stable it is for Mac. I've been using it about 5 months since purchasing and IT IS GREAT~
Now, I can not find a place to Donate. Where is the link?
Thanks, St. Paul

Please refine the question you are asking. Is the question about programming? Is the question about the math of the physics? If you question is about the math of the physics, then the following may help. The problem should be handled in terms of x component of velocity, y component of velocity and z...

I think yes and no. Granted some do see "Basic" as inherently slow etc... language. But, other people see Basic as a language with the readability that appeals to many folks who program ocassionally. I knew I was looking for some form of basic and that is how I found PB. But I was amazed w...

Thanks Respondant, I might have missed that post, so thanks. Yes, you are right that it was answered elsewhere; and, the really useful part of the reply was to use compiler option "compile to console". I've tried recompiling the previous examples with that option involked and it works grea...
