The above page makes me think: any other BASIC language also has very detailed tutorial for the novice? I am curious.

This forum doesn't look  too good.

Here are a few masters of their craft from the Forum:

Ok, I didn't know these excellent works. Thanks for the introduction. I like PureBasic very much now!

Purebasic / I discovered a complete game.

« on: September 30, 2022 »

Hello..
Since there are many demos in this sub-forum, the first impression is that Purebasic is only a programming language for programming graphic demos. Is Purebasic a good tool for people to write a complete good game? I think that the game is the answer.

I also have confidence in Purebasic now. Sure.

Challenges & Competitions / Re: For those who are interested in game jam

« on: September 30, 2022 »

I missed that one. Damn,. would be cool to find an incentive to do some qbasic stuff. Never coded a game, only demos.

Anyway, I miss most gamejams, I am usually not motivated to force myself for few days, produce something not ideal. Then I might be jumping from project to project, while gamejams need focus to do something good.

Yes, I agree with you!

General chat / 8 bit computers' battle (a contest)

« on: February 05, 2019 »

When I read in the PureBASIC sub-forum, I can see many good graphic demos made by members of this forum. Very fascinating!

On the other hand, I notice a contest. It looks interesting but challenging. Anyway, some members may like gripping game development.

Hello,

I am new member and I try to learn programming....

Hello.  Any particular language?

Hello,

I am not working in computer field. I only learn programming at my leisure.  My knowledge is very limited actually.

I mainly download free language softwares to learn. For example, NaaLaa. The trial version of PureBasic is also a nice tool for novice to learn.
