Dear PureBasic community! The PureBasic CodeArchive contain the collected sourcecodes from the english, german and french PureBasic forums as well the PureBasic- Lounge and other submissions. I've tried to sort the codes into a suitable list structure as well as possible and to create a overview of the collected codes with the html surface (please call it via CodeArchiv.html), which is useable online and offline. Simply use the search function of your browser (CTRL + F). With "C.A.V. - the CodeArchivViewer" its now possible to do a comfortable search in the CodeArchiv in offline modus. More about this is written in the included manual. My gratitude goes in this place to Oliver Baum, who originally brought this project to life in the year 2002. Of course many thanks also to all authors, which provide their codes for the public. All PureBasic programmers, who recognize their code in this collection may inform me about it, so that I can complete the corresponding information. I'm also very grateful for all "new submissions", as well additions, remarks, criticism, praise etc.... :) My e-mail address: andre@purearea.net Deutscheinsiedel, May 6th, 2007 Andre Beer - PureBasic Team www.purearea.net +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Some notes about this version v4 Beta: | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ . Most codes are now compatible with PureBasic v4. . There was included a note in the codes, if they run on the different OS supported by PureBasic as well if they run with the PureBasic-Demo. . With the C.A.V. in version 1.1 its now possible, to do a comfortable offline browsing in the CodeArchiv. I need help: ------------ . with updating the french edition of this readme file . with translating the manual of C.A.V. in other languages - actually german is included as well english in a started version. . with updating existing or adding new locale files for the individual localization of C.A.V. German, English and French are native integrated - Dutch, Espanol, Italiano and Portuguese are available in an older version. The file BaseLanguage.catalog you will find in CodeArchiv\xCAV . with adding new codes, actually most of the examples codes are from the years 2002-2005. There is a lot more potential in the PureBasic forums! How a code will be correctly prepared for the CodeArchiv (means how the needed data about source, author, etc. must be added), you will find in the chapter "Technical" in the CAV manual. . with converting already collected codes in a PB v4 compatible version, a regularly updated list I release here: http://www.purearea.net/temp/CodeArchiv_zu_ueberarbeiten/CodesToConvert.html => Contributions please via e-mail to: andre@purearea.net - Many thanks! +------------------------------------------------------------------+ |History of the PureBasic-CodeArchiv: | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ May 2003 First version of the Code-Archive released 15th June 2003 Version 1.1 with nearly 500 codes released 06th July 2003 Version 1.2 with nearly 550 codes released 16th July 2003 Version 1.3 with nearly 600 codes released 24th Aug. 2003 Version 1.4 with 698 example codes released 28th Sep. 2003 Version 1.5 with 800 example codes released 01st Nov. 2003 Version 1.6 with 914 example codes released 30th Nov. 2003 Version 1.7 with 1090 example codes released (Thanks to cnesm!) 18th Jan. 2004 Version 1.8 with 1302 example codes released (Thanks to Denis, Erik & Florian!)
