Sure, PB is most case a language for Appz... some guys try to code games like WaponezII", "LadysGarden" ... I try to code a small amiga remake (i released in 1999) and i really have many problems to code/finish this really very small and easy game project...! I tried to code the same game in BlitzBasic on PC and the main game was finished in about 2 days... no joke! Now i try since some month to code the same game in PureBasic... PureBasic is really a cool and fast language with very small compiled executeable files - but i must really tell you that BlitzBasic (sorry fred) is much better and faster to code games only...!!! Btw, i think BlitzBasic is more stabel as PB!I only told you that most people here want PureBasic for Appz, not that nobody is trying
to make a game. And i told you that PB in its current state isnt good enough for professional games. But it grows...
Yes, thats true! Danilo, welcome in the club of old skool games from c64 and amiga )Anyway, priority for _most_ people here are the Appz at this time. (i´m also interested in games, especially remakes of C64 and Amiga games).
Hope i get mangaged to finish my small game until eastern including complete music (maybe AdLib - works only on ISA cards ;((( or some other small module format with player... in just only 32k!) - Danilo you can be patienced to see a amiga remake )
Yes, the rect based collision is not really nice, escpectly for newbies who want to code a real collision detection! There are a lot to add/fix before PB will became i cool game developer language! Sorry but this is true... I miss tons of game based commands and the long awaited directX support ;((I think if PB gets some new game commands (like exact Sprite collision etc.) some more
BB users will come here.
Btw. i am happy that my game is now nearly finished - When i tried my first PB 2.50 version it was not possible to draw/print on the screen... I am happy that fred fixed this after my mails... ) Happy coding...
