To Eros Olmi,
Thank you for anwering my reply, After I installed the latest ThinBasic 1.8.0 version everythng went great Before that thinBasic would not execute, it would just stop running, I'm not sure what I did wrong. BTW, How do install the required files for programming in graphic or to say 3D programming?
Just asking though. Also how do I write a hello program, I'm just starting in the beginning.

Sincerely,
Richard West :D :o :eusaclap: :eusadance:

Ciao Richard and welcome to thinBasic community forum.

If you have installed thinBasic, all that you need to make programs for Console, Windows or OpenGL or all together is already there. You do not need to install anything else.

Where to start?
Well, I can suggest to start from the many (some hundred) examples you can find in \thinBasic\SampleScripts\ directory.
Examples are mainly organized by thinBasic modules.
thinBasic is a modular language. It has main Core engine that acts as a glue of many other modules each dedicated to implements specific functionalities of the language.

If you want to start from 3D, 2D or in general OpenGL, start from \thinBasic\SampleScripts\TBGL\
TBGL is a thinBasic module developed by Petr Schreiber and maintained by Petr Schreiber and Michael Hartlef that implements all what you need to create great 3D/2D worlds.

Have fun.
Eros

Welcome,

one more thing to add - when you choose File/New/New file, dialog appears.
Choose TBGL there, and pick one of the templates.

Templates are code skeletons you can base your program on.


Happy coding,
Petr
