Short: V2.32 - Update for registered users (from any version to 2.32) Author: alphasnd@purebasic.com (Fantaisie Software) Uploader: alphasnd purebasic com (Frederic Laboureur) Type: dev/basic Version: 2.32 Architecture: m68k-amigaos Replace: PureBasic_Upd2.00.lha PureBasic is brand new 'high level' programming langage based on the previoulsy etablished B.A.S.I.C rules. It ensure a good compatibility with similar basic compiler independement of the computer. The learning is easy, as basic has been created for beginner and the development time is really fast. This software has been developed for the Amiga with the Amiga enviromment in mind. We have put lot of effort in its realization to produce fast, reliable and system friendly langage. The respect of the OS is always the master word, and you couldn't write bad software with the basic commandset provided. Of course, you could add any other functions to bash the hardware and use all the Amiga power, if you need it. The syntax is easy, but the possibities are huge because some 'advanced' functions has been added to this langage like pointers, structure, procedure, dynamic linked lists, and more.. For the experienced coder, there is no problem to access any of the legal OS structures or amiga objects. Finally, PureBasic support the 680x0 processor and the PowerPC processor. The 68000 part has been very optimized to output the best code as possible, but we're sure we could do even better ! PowerPC part is under heavy optimizations. Look yourself at the main features of PureBasic: - 68000, 68020+ and PowerPC support - Built-in Array, dynamic linked list, complex structure, pointer and variable definitions - Supported types: Byte (8 bit), Word (16 bits), Long (32) and user defined ones (structures) - Signed and unsigned support for standard types - Built-in strings type - Constants, binary and hexadecimal numbers support - Very good expression reducer by grouping constants and numeric numbers together - Standard arithmetic support with respect of signs priority and parenthesis: +, -, /, *, and, or, lsl, asl, lsr, asr - Compile about 30 000 lines/min on a 68030/50 - Procedure support for structured programming with locals and global variables - All Standard BASIC keywords: If-Else-EndIf, Repeat-Until ... - External libraries support to manipulate easily objects like IFF pictures, screens, windows, gadgets, sprites... - Inlined ASM - Precompiled structures and constants files for extra fast compiling. - Cool debugger to stop the program execution and trace the bugs easily. - Configurable CLI compiler - System friendly, easy to install and always under development - And more ! *********** * V2.32 News * * *********** Added: ReadMemory(), WriteMemory(), SetWindowTagList() Added: Palette: added async palette fade Added: New commands for Chunky library Added: Procedures can now returns strings Added: WaitWindowEvent() Added: CompilerIf, Else... Added: FileSystem library Added: Path change when running a program from the editor (no need to put absolute path anymore) Added: Editor: Auto-casing and contextual online help. Added: Data support (new commands: Data, DataSection, EndDataSection, Read, Restore) Changed: PokeS(), now returns the number of characters 'poked' (handy) Changed: OpenWindow() (to be compatiable with other OSes) Changed: The whole gadget library (to be compatiable with other OSes) Fixed: A compiler bug (Structure can't be redeclared a second time..) Fixed: A member in a structure used but not initialized Fixed: Sprite lib (debugger and priority to the end) Fixed: a Picture bug (recompilation with optims..) Fixed: Screen/FontRequester(): now returns 0 when cancelled. Fixed: ReadString(), Str() Fixed: A lot of editor bugs Visit our site web at: http://www.purebasic.com ...Feel the P.u.R.e Power... © 2001 - Fantaisie Software -
