Hi Eros,

thanks for new ThinBasic :)

Dear thinBasicers, as you can see from What's new section in help file, lot of things has been added to the language.
If you are curious, how to use new UDT syntax, what are those UNIONs about, what new Asmosphere additions mean for user ... and even when you just want to know few tips and tricks on porting old BASIC code to ThinBasic ...

... then wait no longer and pick the very first issue of ThinBasic Journal (http://community.thinbasic.com/index.php?topic=1865.msg13758#msg13758)! ( imagine monumental music in the background now )

Other good news related to this ThinBasic release is that new NeHe OpenGL tutorials are ported to ThinBasic (http://community.thinbasic.com/index.php?topic=1864.msg13757) ( and work :) ). You can pick them from TBGL forum and also read some details on translation of this tutorials again in ThinBasic Journal (http://community.thinbasic.com/index.php?topic=1865.msg13758#msg13758) article. Thanks to Abraxas again for letting me know about movement on NeHe website!

- Big thanks to Eros and Charles Pegge for assistance and contribution to TBJ -


Hope you will like it,
Petr

P.S. You can use TBGL_ResetKeyStatus instead of TBGL_GetAsyncKeyState(-1), if you want to make your code look better ;) All sample scripts are now updated to this new "standard", as well as TBGL templates of course.

Great! Just downloaded it.
Some great new features in this release...
Thanks too for the *very* useful supplementary explanatory material in the form of "TBJournal"; quite unexpected but very welcome indeed :)

Best wishes,
catventure.
