Been looking into PureBASIC a bit, and it seems like it'd be incredibly easy to port programs made in DBP over to it. Pros? Cons? Thoughts?

I know I won't have access to PhysX as easily but, hell maybe there's an SDK connector? nVidia seems pretty on top of that at a glance.

At a glance it seems to be more geared towards software development and less towards game development if its software your after i imagine it would work great

@Smerf check the documentation under 2D and 3D, they have most of what DBP did minus some advanced stuff and build in PhysX. Entity control is basically the same, but you use "entity" instead of "object". iirc there's literally a "position entity" func. And you can further expand it, too. Apparently it uses OGRE3D.

Just use Unreal Engine or Unity with C++/C#, far superior and it costs nothing.

It doesn't cost nothing.

gotta go with MonoGame. That _does_ cost nothing, and its FOSS.

PureBasic is now sporting Ogre 14.3 the very latest so 3D should be excellent and it is the same as 1.8 except a few things I should imagine many bug fixes too.
I'm ok with PureBasic and Ogre although I know AppGameKit Studio more intricately and I think I could make pretty much any piece of software I like with it (within reason).
I think PureBasic with Ogre 14.3 is similar to AppGameKit S and neither of them needs addons to function and both have in IDE help which is excellent.
