Duhdang!

Having any artistic ability helps in creating software.

All of my software looks like something from the days of DOS.

Yes, the gui of this app shines bright as the sun.

Eros, this is probably is done with lots of winapi coding or using a Flash interface library wouldn't you think? I have not gotten the new PB, so I might be totally wrong.

No. The author says it is just Power Basic and OpenGL: http://www.powerbasic.com/support/pb...ad.php?t=39645
Amazing, isn't it?

There have been a few people interested in the software I am working on (Panther VST) for the company I work for (Adaptive Motion).

This software called was created for industrial machine and automation control and programming via a touch screen. The software is done using OpenGL and is completely done in PowerBASIC for Windows 9. Most the graphics and programming were done by myself. It runs off a 1.3Ghz solid state industrial computer running Windows XP Pro with a ATI Radeon 9250 Graphics card. Zipped up this software only weighs in at a (relatively speaking) tiny 4.5 MB.

I decided to post a video and screen shots of the software in action, the video will obviously give you a better idea. Not really to show off (okay may be a little ), but more so to show PowerBASIC isn't just limited to DLLs and stereotypical Windows applications.

Please download the video by right clicking and doing a Save Target As... The video is in WMV format and is only about 11MB. Please understand that the capturing software I used bogs down the OpenGL rendering a bit so it isn't an exact representation. It normally runs at about 30FPS.
