Basic FreeBASIC documentation? Please.

[Tomaaz]

Could you post here the basics of using Pulsar with FreeBASIC? Thanx!

EDIT I don't need anything complex. Just list all types and functions an i will try to compare it to EGSL documentation. I may guess something, as well. FreeBASIC plus Pulsar finally works without problems on my new Linux installation and I would like it to give it a try.

And please, reply to my message. If you don't have a time or don't want to waste your time for it, that's fine. I just want to know if there is a chance I'll learn something here in a not so distance future.

So here is the complete list of functions. Just have a look into the source, I might have commented most functions ...

Thanx! What about things like p2d.window, p2d.image, p2d.sprite...? Why to check a pressed key I need to use p2d.getkey() and not getkey(), while other functions doesn't require p2d (keystate)?

[Cybermonkey]

That is because FBC has its own getkey function which can't be undefined - see the pulsar2d.bi (also valid for INPUT and Window). Sprite, image, font and anim can be used without p2d prefix, but I prefer the p2d for clarification.

Oh I forgot something: also to have a compatibility to the FreePascal implementation. There is no prefix but the types are p2dwindow, p2dsprite etc. So it's easier to port projects if someone wants to do that.

That makes sense. Thanx a lot!
