After the initial design was finished and The 680x0 assembly mnemonics) right from the start to allow different kinds of assembly output (orĪny language) possible without changing the compiler core. PureBasic and ‘normal’ compilers then was the inclusion of a ‘virtual processor’ (which actually used The early design and the first version of PureBasic started in 1998. Support for the 680x0 and PowerPC processors. An opportunity had presented itself for the creation of a new language which would be the logical replacement and enhancement of BlitzBasic, which also would have full This time, but everyone knew that all development had been put on hold for the Amiga platform inįavor of the Intel x86 based PCs. People wanted a native version of Blitz to support them, as it was an extremely popular language at They were very fast and sold at a relativelyĬheap cost, even compared to the high-end 68060 processors. Powerful alternative to the Motorola 68000 processor. Processor if everything was programmed correctly.Īround this time, IBM PowerPC based processor cards for the Amiga started to appear and were a very He was also astonished with the incredible things that could be achieved with an old 68000 Regarding his work, through which he became very familiar with assembly programming andĭebugging. Fred’s progress was quite slow to begin with as goodĭocumentation was hard to find for assembly programming and of course online forums didn’t thenĮxist for BlitzBasic plug-in programming.ĭevelopment of ‘NCS’ continued for about a year after which Fred received very positive comments In assembly at this time of Blitz’s development. (NewCommandSet) was entirely coded using 68000 assembly, as all new commands had to be coded ‘TheBoss’, a powerful application launcher for the Commodore Amiga. PureBasic started life in 1995 as a command-set expansion for BlitzBasic after PureBasic’s author,įrédéric Laboureur hit many limitations with BlitzBasic while programming an application called Experienced coders will have no problem gaining access to any of the legal OS structures or API objects and PureBasic even allows inline ASM. In spite of its beginner-friendly syntax, the possibilities are endless with PureBasic's advanced features such as pointers, structures, procedures, dynamically linked lists and much more. We have put a lot of effort into its realization to produce a fast, reliable system friendly language. PureBasic has been created for the beginner and expert alike. The key features of PureBasic are portability (Windows, Linux and MacOS X are currently supported), the production of very fast and highly optimized executables and, of course, the very simple BASIC syntax. PureBasic is a native 32-bit and 64-bit programming language based on established BASIC rules. The application offers an adequate environment for both experience and less experienced users as well as the necessary utilities for verifying the code and compiling it into an executable file. It features sufficient documentation both for the use of the IDE and for laying the foundation of coding in PureBasic.5.42 LTS / March 1, 2016 6 years ago ( ) Customizable programming editor for PureBasic Moreover, it allows enriching the tools panel with the necessary items so that the coding session runs as smoothly as possible. Customization of the tool can be done from its configuration panel.Ĭustomizing PureBasic enables the user to make changes as far as coloring various elements are concerned. It comprises all the regular options required for inspecting the code either in its entirety or by pieces.Ī compiler is also included in the application, allowing the user to build the source code into an executable file.Īmong the options available for the compiler there is the possibility to run a syntax verification and compile the program with or without the debugger. Like all respectable IDE programs, PureBasic sports a debugging tool for checking the accuracy of the code. The most part of the application windows is occupied by the code editor, which includes support for tabs, making it easy for a more experienced user to access code lines from different projects at the same time. The program is a full-blown interactive development environment that can help the user create or edit PureBasic code, debug, run it and create the executable file. PureBasic has been created as a simple programming language for beginners that stems from the old BASIC however, it can also address more experienced users that want to expand the horizon of their programming knowledge. ![]()
