Purebasic... on OSX!

[jace_stknights]

Yep, got 3 macs at home...(Intels, PPC) even if I'm making remakes on Wintel, I always wanted to port them on my favorite OS.

After a couple of minutes (finally a real multiOS language!!!), I got a first intro working : A-Team OutRun!

but got some obscur problems:

• after 10 seconds, the intro is running sloooooooooww (about 1 frame each second) and don't respond.
• the program takes about 900Mb in memory!!! (on windows, it take less than 10Mb!)
• There a lof differences betwen the OS: for example, to display sprites, you don't have to use StartDrawing(ScreenOutput() using it simply not display the sprite  )!

Someone also use PB on OSX here?

Not me, but I made my own humour by thinking you'd said it was running on OS2.

I know I got lotsa old computers here... but OS2 (even if it was better than win95 at the time) is not one of my favorite oldschool OS... PureBasic on AmigaOS, yep!

Here it is! I've found the bug about memory leak: the TransparentSpriteColor() is 100000x bugged!

If you specify a sprite ID, it will grow and grow the memory of the app until  infinite 
You have to use fix a default color for all your sprite or use Spite3D blending mode (awfulll) TransparentSpriteColor(#PB_Default,RGB(255,255,255))

I've join a first test, is there someone here to try it?

Now I have to convert OSME to OSX...

Have you done more stuff on OSX?

Did you do that ?
Seems to be essential for getting oldschool-music working on OSX.

[jace_stknights]

Nope I stopped activities last 5 years...

and I stopped using pB to compile retro-remakes on previously unsupported platforms like: OSX/win9x.
