Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

PureBasic is a programming language based on established BASIC rules. The key features of PureBasic are portability (Windows, AmigaOS and Linux are currently fully supported and included in this package), the production of very fast and highly optimized executables and, of course, the very simple BASIC syntax. PureBasic has been created for the beginner and expert alike. We have put a lot of effort into its realization to produce a fast, reliable and system friendly language. In spite of its beginner-friendly syntax, the possibilities are endless with PureBasic's advanced features such as pointers, structures, procedures, dynamically linked lists and much more. Experienced coders will have no problem gaining access to any of the legal OS structures or API objects and PureBasic even allows inline ASM.

PureBasic is designed for both beginners and 'pure' advanced users alike. Here we will explain some important features demonstrating that PureBasic is a very powerful and unique language. Firstly, PureBasic uses "third party libraries" which are very modular, and can extend to any number of libraries. There are numerous libraries provided as standard which include : sound, sprite, windows, gadgets, screen, palette, openGL, etc. These libraries ensure maximum performance, as they are written in x86 assembler, the fastest language possible. Note: any user can develop their own libraries. All tools are provided in the full package. With PureBasic x86, user libraries can be written in both C and assembler for better flexibility. The advanced system of structures and pointers lets the user access OS objects easily, allowing extra information to be used with regular commands. All Windows functions are fully supported through a large file containing all constants and structures. Independent 'include' files are provided, so that if mistakes are made during conversion they can be easily corrected. This allows lightning fast compilation, even if your program needs to access OS functions. To help the user convert C/C++ include files, a small utility is provided, saving you a lot of time and effort. For all assembler optimizer freaks (like us ? :-): You can compile programs into a 'commented asm output file', containing all code in a comprehensive asm format; all directly recompilable with FAsm. It has never been so easy to optimize small program parts. You keep control of all your source code. The PureBasic source code has been programmed in a very modular fashion and can support any processor or operating system. This has been proven already as PureBasic is now available on three very different systems: AmigaOS, Windows and Linux.

1.0 out of 5 stars PureBasic Sooooo Old!!!, 13 Dec 2007
By D. Hoggan "dhoggan3" (U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
PureBasic Professional Boxed, is version(3.10). The current version on the PureBasic website is 4.10. You CANNOT!!! register this software for online help and you CANNOT!!! get updates for it too, I've tried through the official website. To upgrade to the current version you need to download from the PureBasic website which costs 39 euros for the upgrade, and if you wanted to buy the current version only, it cost's a hell of a lot more. Also this boxed version comes with the default language set to(German), There should be a sticker on the front to tell you how to change the default language to (English) CHECK! before you buy. Finally there's no English version of the user manual on the CD, you have to go to the official website to download an english version. All said, if you want the current version+Upgrades+Support you have to pay 40+ euros and you can only download this from the official website, All the boxed versions that are available are POOR!! OLD!! versions and you get what you pay for. So if it's just curiosity and you just want to play around and see what it's like, it's up to you, if your more serious about learning basic try (DarkBASIC or BlitzBASIC or Visual Basic), i have all three, and PureBasic should be renamed POOR!Basic....
