I have tried almost all v15 compilers and up until now, none of them worked.

I have also tried compiling to Raspberry Pi, however this too did not work, i got a couple of error running the .bin file, but after installing GLES, SDL, SDL2 and OpenGL i was still stuck on the same error.

You must to use V16 platforms with the Steam version:
http://www.glbasic.com/platform/v16/

With GLB v16 can compile for HTML5, Mac, Raspberry and Android. You must to unzip the modules in GLB Platform folder.
Read the instructions for each platform in the GLB help, for example for Android you need install software (JDK, etc).

Hello Bluepixel,

The Steam version han no support for "old" platforms like GP2X, Wiz, WinCE, etc. The website info is a bit outdated, only "classic" no Steam versions compile for this platforms. I think the reason is because GLB V16 generate 64 bits optmized code for current platforms and this code can't compile for 32 bit machines (Wiz, WinCE, etc).

I have a PDA, Wiz, Cannoo and GCW, and I can compile for this with GLB v14 and older, because I have a license for this versions. Maybe you can write to Gernot asking for a solution, but currently the only way is purchase an old version. You can download a demo for v15, and you can test in your platforms before you buy. A timed watermark in generated in every app in demo version.

You can download the Demo for GLB v12 here:
http://www.glbasic.com/files/glbasic_sdk-v12.exe

If I remember, the GLB 12 has all platforms in the installer.

Good work. I'm happy because GLBasic is still alive. I'ts fair that you receive some money for supporting this awesome development tool. It's very easy to create a lot of game and multimedia stuff with GLBasic. I will support the Steam version, and I hope many people around the world discover and buy the product. Long live to GLB!!! 

GETTIMERALL() te da la hora en microsegundos desde el inicio del programa. Para saber el tiempo en un intervalo, solo tienes que restar los dos valores y convertirlo a la unidad que quieras (segundos, minutos, horas, ...).

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


 timstart = GETTIMERALL()

 // codigo de tu juego aquí...
 timend = GETTIMERALL()
 interval = (timend - timstart) / 1000

 PRINT "Tiempo transcurrido: "+ interval + " segs", 0,0
 SHOWSCREEN


All the macOS systems are free since Mavericks. The problem is that Apple deletes from the appstore, but I have backup of the last installers.

I have a macmini 2013 (the last that was upgradeable memory) bought in amazon from a german shop and was new. The price was 700 euro, but was the best computer buy in many years. I put a ssd disk and works fast and very quiet.

I think a 64 bit GLB version needs more memory to compile. My projects don't have many files, but I think it should be a maximum of 20 files at once for example. Then the compilation can be performed by sets of files in a large project.

Methal is the Apple's "DirectX", like Microsoft did some years ago deprecating OpenGL in Windows. In windows you don't have OpenGL, but the graphics card driver installs for you. Apple systems are a closed ecosystem, and they make all the hardware and the all the drivers. I think you can install OpenGL libraries when they remove them, but they are not in the system. Then your game or app must to install another package or request the user to install first.

Apple is not interested in OpenGL or OpenGL-ES, because the main responsible of OpenGL for Mac was assigned for improving Methal some years ago. Apple says that Methal improve the graphics performance and saves battery, because it's a modern and efficient API, but it's a library only for Apple hardware and it isn't available for other systems.

I think they don't remove OpenGL in next year, because many Steam and Appstore games are using, but they are saying "we can remove in any time, you are warned". Is like the "Rossetta" case, there was a transition period for old apps for some years, but they removed the support years later in Yosemite. They will remove from the system sooner or later.

New requirements for iOS and Android apps in 2018

Starting April 2018, all new iOS apps submitted to the App Store must be built with the iOS 11 SDK, included in Xcode 9 or later. All new apps for iPhone, including universal apps, must support the Super Retina display of iPhone X.
https://developer.apple.com/ios/submit/

Google Play will require that new apps target at least Android 8.0 (API level 26) from August 2018, and that app updates target Android 8.0 from November 2018.

It's a very cool game and I like the pseudo 3d and scanlines retro effects. The graphics are very good too.
Good luck, and finish it!!

If you like C++ and games, you can try Cocos2d-x for creating multiplatform games.
If you want something easier, Corona uses Lua (javascript-like) language.

Thank for you good job porting iOS to 64 bit and improve iOS and Android modules.
I hope you have good luck in Steam and keep contributing to GLB community.

WIN32 and WIN64 defines in C doesn't detect the operative system the user has.
Detects the type of COMPILER you are using.

En la ayuda de GLBasic te pone todos los pasos para Android. Tienes que instalar el último JavaSE SDK, el SDK de Android, configurar el JAVA_HOME y luego compilar con la opción de Android. Te creará un .apk que podrás instalar en el teléfono. Tienes que activar en opciones de desarrollo la opción de orígenes distintos a Google Play, sino no te dejará instalarla.

Thank you Gernot!!!

I have some utility TYPES that doesn't have variables, others are normal types.
Putting a dummy variable works ok, but it's an error in the code generation.
