In my next Post we'll just take a closer look at the Code-differences between Powerbasic and Purebasic 圆4 to help those who need to make something in 圆4 "to get the drift" while staying with Basic.įor me this is far from the readablitiy of Powerbasic code, but still much better then C. Something that will definitely not happen with Powerbasic.

#PUREBASIC WHILE CODE#

You can just compile old code with the new Powerbasic.Įven code from 2001 will mostly work without many changes.Įven Example code which is delivered together with the Purebasic package may not compile with the same version. Still new datatypes are added to complete the compiler, and some things are just still missing.Ībout code-backwards-compatibility the point goes to Powerbasic. You can see the actual evolution in the Purebasic Forums at several place.Īlso means, Code you wrote with an older Purebasic version (old is maybe 3.9) can not compile with a newer version (new is 4.3) without significant changes. In short just looking at the editor Purebasic will get another point.Ĭoming to the language itself, Purebasic was going (and maybe in some parts is still going) from a better Macro-Assembler to a real Hi Level language. Some parts are much easier then with Powerbasic -for example adding resource, Icons and a file-description.Įven a automatic Increasing of Built Numbers is there. Some parts are still a bit more complex to realize then with Powerbasic (couldn't find a simple #COMPILE DLL that will do this). We must say taht Powerbasic Users will use SED and will then have a comparable Surface to the actual Editor that is included with PureBasic.Įverything is there, what we would expect from an Editor - and a lot more.

#PUREBASIC WHILE PROFESSIONAL#

The original Powerbasic Editor did not change that much, but the Purebasic Editor made its way to a professional and reliable tool. I remember when I mailed with "Fred" the creator of Purebasic:Īt that time the Powerbasic Editor was already a fine tool as stable as it is today. The Purebasic Editor in 2001 was really a mess. So we come to the first issue which is the Purebasic Editor. As a Powerbasic user, don't intermix with the INTEGER from Powerbasic which is a signed 16 bit Datatype. So using Pointers, you need to use the INTEGER Datatype.

#PUREBASIC WHILE 64 BIT#

This one will automatically change from 32 to 64 bit dependent on where you compile it. Therefore better use the Purebasic INTEGER Datatype. This may crash on a 64 bit OS, because Memory needs 64 bit for adressing.

#PUREBASIC WHILE 32 BIT#

The LONG-Datatype will stay as 32 bit when you just copy the code. One thing to watch for when transfering code from x32 to 圆4 are Pointers into memory: Then you just drag the code-files there - compile it new - and voila its now an 圆4 - DLL or executable. The next thing to know is that the compatibility between the Purebasic x32 and the Purebasic 圆4 is suprisingly good.Īssume you have the PureBasic 圆4 in a Virtual Box installed under a X64 OS. You may be able to do so with Visual Studio, but not with Purebasic. You can't simply compile a 圆4 executable on a 32-bit OS.

#PUREBASIC WHILE INSTALL#

The first thing to know is that you have to install the PureBasic 4.31 圆4 on a 64 bit OS. But lets start with the Purebasic-Basics. The first days I was lost as a Powerbasic-Fan because the Syntax is quite different. Purebasic is really a cheap thing, seeing that for the same licence, you never need to pay for Updates and you even get a basic Visual Designer included in the package.įine, so having no choice, I started to take a deeper look. And its still the same licence which i bought 2001. So i updated for the actual Version which is 4.31 and checked - yes there is also a Version of Purebasic 圆4 included in the Package. So this time I had to go through this and learn "BASIC from New" to be able to make also 圆4 excutables and DLL's. Just never used it really, because I had PowerBasic. So I remembered that I have a Purebasic licence for long time (since ). Anyway, personally I do not like C and all this stuff, this time I decided to stay with Basic. I could have choosen for example "Pele's C" - its freeware and people like it. Normally I'd not look around and just do everything in Powerbasic.Ĭoming to a project where i need a 圆4 executable and DLL, I had no other choice then to look around.
