thinBASIC web-
First thinBASIC was released many years ago, in the year 2005. As both authors put maximal efforts to make it best interpreted
BASIC, it is still under development. You can check out current status on official website, where you can download it as well.
My contribution to this project consists of creation of "TBGL module", set of commands providing access to the amazing world of 3D graphics. This module is provided with documentation and pack of sample code in every thinBASIC installation natively.
Welcome!
This website will help you learn all possible techniques you can try directly in your thinBASIC scripts!
What exactly can you find here?
Tutorials, articles, forum and even exclusive downloads!
thinBASIC? TBGL?
Hmm, from your face expression I can see you have never heard of it.
Please sit comfortably and listen the story of free interpreted language...
thinBASIC is interpreted language developed in Italy - Eros Olmi and Roberto Bianchi are its parents.
Why use TBGL module?
I don't want to force you to use TBGL, but if you will not do it, please leave this site, make three jumps, immediately wash your hands and every Friday don't speak to anyone ;)
Ok, now seriously.
TBGL module started as OpenGL wrapper in the eldest times, when thinBASIC had no way to interface with other DLLs and Win32. This dark times are over now.
So what to do make TBGL useful again?
Make it simple, accessible, usable on older hardware, with lot of sample code and with connection to free tools like 3D modelers or font generator.
