Attached is a sample startup project for anyone who is just starting out with PureGDK.

It allows you to have your own debugging (trace) as well as visual studios, you can cheat with OO style global vars, and a cleanup facility.

Okay, a few things need to be added:

1. The dialogue for changing the screen prefs. (50% done)
2. A few more checks on the system calls.

prefs.cpp

+ Code Snippet

prefs::prefs(void)
{
	FILE *fp = fopen( ipref_file, "r" );
	if ( !fp ) {
		width		= 800;
		height		= 600;
		depth		= 32;
		fullscreen	= 0;
	}
	else {
		fread( &width,		sizeof(int), 1, fp );
		fread( &height,		sizeof(int), 1, fp );
		fread( &depth,		sizeof(int), 1, fp );
		fread( &fullscreen, sizeof(bool), 1, fp );
		fclose ( fp );
	}
}

To change resolution, delete "prefs.zzz" and change these values.

I will update this code as I start to make some improvements.

Fingers crossed this 'will' actually help someone too.

Don't suppose you'd be willing to convert that into PureBasic?

I've tried and tried but I just don't understand C or it's derivations. Which is a real pain in the ... for me. Total blind spot apparently.

I've never used PureBasic before but from what I can see it is a very good compiled language. The above file has since been updated so that now I can use a windows gui form inside my program so that the screen prefs can be changed.

Mental arithmetic? Me? (That's for computers) I can't subtract a fart from a plate of beans!
