When I have a spare mo, I'll see if theres something I can muster up in it.

Thanks Clyde.

hellfire you are right.

But on the other end programmers tend not to cure details and put software layers over software layers and many times even compiled applications are so cpu intensive thanks to this. thinBasic is fast even for graphic applications and games. Of course I would never try to promote thinBasic for multi megabytes real-time imagine processing but we have and continue to put strong attention to performance.

Also consider that only hardware evolved, but also software. Try by yourself the more than 400 thinBasic applications you will find after installation and see by your eyes.
Latest beta version is available at http://community.thinbasic.com/index.php?topic=2588.0

Among other new features, this version has even a machine code compiler of a basic dialect called Oxygen. You can write basic code into a string, compile it on the fly. It will return a pointer to machine code that can be used to execute compiled code like it would be native thinBasic functions. A really unique feature.

I too like Console applications.

thinBasic permits to have Console window, GUI windows and OpenGl windows active at the same time.
There is no limitations in writing a game in GUI window that also use Console window to write output at the same time.
Or even OpenGL canvas in a GUI application also using Console to write out some info.

As final info, some videos of old thinBasic scripts made few years ago when thinBasic was at the very initial stage.
Videos are almost all about using TBGL module, OpenGl module for thinBasic.

Hi Shockwve.

Not necessary to add a link, anyhow thanks.
I will follow this forum just in case someone need any additional info about thinBasic.

My "market" is just programming passion  Nothing less, nothing more.
And I think this is the same sentiment I see in this web site.

I saw the original post about thinBasic and than some replies that maybe were done (I suppose) without knowing thinBasic.
So I posted few of the many hundred examples that are present in thinBasic setup to show some of the things thinBasic can do.
Consider all the examples I posted are present in thinBasic as source code so everyone can get it and change, improve or do whatever needed. No copyright, no limitations.

I'm mainly concentrated on developing thinBasic language and writing documentation.
I will left the rest to other passionated programmers.

I forget, why not a little game demo: robot duel.
This application was developed at the very beginning of thinBasic. Its code does not take advantages of the many features we have added to thinBasic after it creation. It can be optimized to run much faster but even so it can run at more than 200 FPS.

Ok, sorry, I will stop here because I think I have really exaggerated.

Regards
Eros

TAB control, listview, splitter bar

MDI applications using standard windows and OpenGL windows

Console scripts.

A Tutorial system developed 100% in thinBasic: treeview, splitbar, richedit, web browser, toolbar.
Absolutely flicker free application.
Source code available in next thinBasic 1.7.8.0
Just 400 lines of pure interpreted code.

TBGL and ODE library

Using TBGL, OpenGL module for thinBasic

Here is is some demos.

thinBasic Grid control. Run fast! No flickering, easy to be used with tons of options.

Who knows? Maybe a try can surprise you
