Pure basic gaming book

Post by wolfwood2x »

What ever happened to the PB Game programming book that was out there?
The site linked off the main PB page is gone. Does anyone know where to find it.

Is there an updated version for PB 4.0?

If it sounds simple, you have not grasped the complexity.

Hello,

None of the links is working correctly. The only useful source that I found is shared by Krylar in the thread - http://forums.purebasic.com/english/vie ... 14&t=58232 but unfortunately, whenever I try to download the files from Mediafire, they are blocked by my antivirus. Does anyone have the pdf to share? Thanks.

@applePi,
Thank you. :D

I intended to look at these for some time but have been too lazy to locate them. :oops:
It is kind of you to make it so easy.

Krylar (the author) a while back collected "everything" he could find and uploaded the files to a dedicated website. You can find both the Pure Basic and Blitz Basic game programming books here.
