hello to thinbasic

[susanneT]

hello dear thinbasic friends. I am here to learn more about this programming language. Found thinbasic after a while by nightly googling and from a friend of berlin he has tried out thinbasic, freebasic last years for some exercises. I will start to learn programming with easy lessons. I see a lot of example here at board. very good. I will check some example. see a lot of nice people and I think this community is alive :)
I have basically knowledge about c++ and java (by university). I am studying economy and advertising. 2. semester.
I don't know how to use thinbasic or what will be my preferred programming aim, but I will try to show next time, I am sure. Sorry for my bad english. thanks for this nice programming tool. downloaded last beta version. test it today, tomorrow.

congratulations too for 5 years hard way of progamming (I can imagine) this great "interpreter" (although I don't know what's the reason behind) language thinbasic. :eusadance:



uses "console", "ui"

I hope you will enjoy your stay. Don't worry about your english, it is fine. And when it comes to the english language, a lot of us here are not native speakers.

Anyway, feel free to ask any questions or feature request. We enjoy helping our users and when it is in our power, we will try to implement new requested features fast.

Best wishes from germany

Welcome!,

you might want to have a look at SampleScripts/Tutorial application, which contains introduction to language.
As the guys said, when you need something, do not hesitate to ask!

:) many thanks to men`s headquarter for nice welcome and so fast! if I cannot see through dusty clouds and densy fog I will ask you!

before searching whole day long perhaps there is a tool or "uses" whatever module how to start with a chart for bilances graphic userface ? chart module exists? x,y axis, time values or month and of course a graphic line. I need only some advices and examples. I will build my first app with my woman side`s powerer *grin*

found something with "tbgl" and "ui", a mathematical module, but don`t know where to start.
thanks, susan

Hi,

With UI module, you might consider using Canvas control/window:

serves for 2D graphics
allows setup of custom scale for the control
you can draw lines and shapes and write text
both as control and as standalone window


With TBGL module, you can see this features:

serves for hardware accelerated 2D graphics
serves for hardware accelerated 3D graphics
allows setup of custom scale for the window
you can draw lines and shapes and write text
both as control and as standalone window


There is also SampleScripts/RMChart example. Very powerful, even directly chart oriented...
The only problem is that RMChart is not being actively developed.
