Hi , sometime I make to my self this question, make about 3 years I join to this Community of Coleagues around the world, and I learn a lot of things, but basically I learn to program... well, make my things, whit another lenguajes was impossible... but the question... the first versión of Glbasic when born?¿, I´m from the seven, but I suppose GLbasic have verision 1,2,3 ... ETC...
By the amount of posts made by this one veeeery old user called Ancient Kitty Hello :P, I think GLB has more then 10 years work into it.
I found an interview from 2004 (it's in German naturally) : http://www.antonis.de/glbasic/index.htm and one in English : http://hooka.gp2x.de/2802 although it's undated.
There is very little mention of DiNGS Game Basic out there - it mainly resides on possibly dodgy Russian sites... The DGB was mentioned in passing on the DarkBasic website in 2002, and of course, Gernot also mentions it in https://groups.google.com/group/comp.games.development.programming.misc/tree/browse_frm/month/2002-09/6d09d0ceb872dba7?rnum=221&_done=/group/comp.games.development.programming.misc/browse_frm/month/2002-09?&pli=1
I found it on CNet : http://download.cnet.com/GLBasic-SDK/3000-2212_4-10226683.html (GLBasic V2)
You stalker you!
Have to take a break from programming every so often!
Corius!!! the link of the v.2 works at today...
I think the logo it´s better now... but the ide it´s very similar :good: :good:
Thanks for the answers, and the interesting info (Mrtatoad)
I know the interview to Gernot some years ago. Very interesting.

Although Wikipedia indicates that the first release of GLBasic was version 1.2, it does not provide a timeline. From what I've been able to find, it seems that GLBasic may have had a version 1.0 which was released in 2003. There are two download sites indicating two release dates; 01-10-2003 and 10-01-2003. However, the download link for one mirrors backs to the official GLBasic site for GLBasic v10.202, and the other does not seem to work. These are the sites:
1. Shareware Connection (http://www.sharewareconnection.com/glbasic-sdk-premium.htm)
2. LastDownload (http://glbasic-sdk-premium.lastdownload.com/)
Clearly, the best person to answer this question is the man himself; Gernot Frisch.
Oh. Very hard question. I can't really remember anymore. Did GLBasic v2 exist? Usually I make a new mayor release every year, maybe a bit less.
Take a look at the samples, they have a version and date header :)
Thanks, I donwload the 2.3 or something similar...
About the interview it´s very interesting, my Deustch not it´s too much good yet, but something I undertand...
Thanks to all for the info...
PS: The image of intro now it´s too much better =D
V2 works fine with Windows 8 too!

Hi Gernot! A search though the headers of the sample files shows that the earliest sample was written on 22nd March, 2002, with no indication of the GLBasic version used. The earliest sample which records the version used was written on 22nd July, 2002 with the GLBasic IDE version 1.20612. These are the sample files:
1. \Samples\3D\Animation\Animation.gbas (no version - 22/3/2002)
2. \Samples\3D\Islands\Islands.gbas (v1.20612 - 22/7/2002)
So, could GLBasic v1.0 have possibly been launched in early 2002? Did we all just miss GLBasic's landmark 10th anniversary?
Perhaps you could give it an official birthday, allowing your avid fans to mark the day appropriately.
Thanks!
Hey TI-994A, I think 10th anniversary aniversary can be good idea... if I can help in something... a logo for a T-shirt of something similar, I´m glad to make a logo or picture for add in someplace.
Good Idea!!! :good: :good:

At the rate Gernot fixes the bugs its quite possible that v.1.00000 was released on 21/7/2002 !
This are 3D examples, but was 3D in V1.0 already? If not V1.0 should be a bit older.
Around 2002 does sound right...
The first version was released 01-Sep-2003.
I found the old html pages :)
It had another named before that didnt it!
Dont forget Gernot; glbasic had a predecessor, its a bit older than 10 years, i think its around 11, 12 years old??

Hi Gernot! So, I'm assuming that the 2002 examples were for the DiNGS Game Basic?
A lot of time, but like yesterday, how pass the time :S :S
but from 3 years ago the updates are comming very quik, isn´t it?¿, I´m from the 7, or 6.x, and in a very little time GLBasic goes now at 10... well eleven I think comming soon, but it´s a lot of works, and when I started the only "popular" console was GP2X Wiz...
I hope this continue for a long time :-* :-*
