Description

PureBasic is a native 32-bit and 64-bit programming language based on established BASIC rules. The key features of PureBasic are portability (Windows, Linux and OS X are currently supported), the production of very fast and highly optimized executables and, of course, the very simple BASIC syntax. PureBasic has been created for the beginner and expert alike. We have put a lot of effort into its realization to produce a fast, reliable system friendly language. The full documentation can be found here.

Despite its beginner-friendly syntax, the possibilities are endless with PureBasic's advanced features such as pointers, structures, procedures, dynamically linked lists and much more. Experienced coders will have no problem gaining access to any of the legal OS structures or API objects and PureBasic even allows inline assembly.

MODERN
State of the art built-in commandset to quickly build any application or game. IDE includes sophisticated debugger, profiler, form designer and lightning fast compilation.

EASY
Using PureBasic is no brainer: you install the program, run the IDE and start developing your application. Generates small executables similar to C/C++ programs without DLL dependencies.

PORTABLE
Available on Windows, Linux and OS X. The source code is compatiable across these platforms and the generated programs use native API to have maximum performance and integration.

FEATURES
Huge set of internal commands (1600+) to quickly and easily build applications or games
Windows (x86 - x64), Linux (x86 - x64) and OS X (x86 - x64) support
BASIC based keywords
Very fast compiler which creates highly optimized executables
No external DLLs, runtime interpreter or anything else required when creating executables
Procedure and structure support for advanced programming
Full unicode support
Built-in containers like array, list and map
Strong types, strong syntax to avoid programming mistakes
Namespace support for easy code reuse
Access to full OS API for advanced programmers
Easy but very fast 2D game support through dedicated libraries (DirectX, OpenGL)
Easy and high quality 3D support based on OGRE
Optimal use of the available hardware by using highly optimized (assembly) commands
Source code is portable between Windows, MacOS X and Linux
Dedicated editor and development environment
Powerful integrated debugger and profiler to easily trace and analyze code
