Today I received the PureGDK 2.0 upgrade and I would like to play
a little.

I would like to learn how open one fullscreen with desktop stretched window resolution for 640x480 and one fullscreen without window.

This was the purebasic clasic way.

For fullscreen stretched window resolution:

+ Code Snippet

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 640, 480, "My game", #PB_Window_BorderLess | #PB_Window_Maximize | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
  SetFrameRate(280)
    
  SetWindowColor(0, RGB(0, 0, 0))
  If OpenWindowedScreen(WindowID(0), 0, 0, 640, 480, 1, 0, 0,#PB_Screen_WaitSynchronization)


  Else
    MessageRequester("Error", "Can't open windowed screen!", 0)
    End
  EndIf

EndIf

And this was for fullscreen resolution without window.

+ Code Snippet


OpenScreen(640,480,32,"My game", #PB_Screen_SmartSynchronization   ,75)

How do I make it with PureGDK way?

Thank you.

See the documentation:

How to > Basics for PureBasic > Fundamentals

There is example code there that you can just drop in and compile from.

See the section How to change the resolution.

What documentation only one .chm file exists.
puregdk_purebasic.chm

Ok I did something (I found some fundamentals) , I managed to have a fullscreen in any resolution I want. Thank you.

May I ask something else?
All catch_sprite funtions are compatible with pureGDK sprites?

Does all PureBasic data are compatible with PureGDK data?

PureGDK and PureBasic libraries are completely independent. You can't mix them because they don't know about each other.

If you could get an address to a image captured by PureBasic, convert it to a memblock, and then convert that to an image, I suppose it would work.

Do you have some example how to do this?

I am interesting to make extreme experiments with both languages.

For example I catch some sprite with PureBasic Like this:

I have one bin file created with vbin library from PureBasic and I capture my strite in one sprite array.

+ Code Snippet

Global Dim all_sprites.l(20000000)
all_sprites(1)=CatchSprite(#PB_Any,VBin_("Interface.bin","Loading_Bar.bmp"))

The array all_sprites contains all my sprites in the memory.

How to use this to paste some image or some sprite with dbpasteimage() function?

Or how to convert this to DarkBasic images.

I don't have tried memory blocks yet. I am trying to figure out how to do this.

I will post some code idea trying to do this.

This was used in purebasic to put the images from my array

+ Code Snippet

DisplayTranslucentSprite(all_sprites(1),60,400,255)

This crash the program...

+ Code Snippet

Global Dim all_sprites.l(20000000)
all_sprites(1)=CatchSprite(#PB_Any,VBin_("Interface.bin","Loading_Bar.bmp"))
dbPasteImage(all_sprites(1), 0,0 ,0)

You can't do that. dbPasteImage doesn't know what a PureBasic image is. Just don't try to mix the two libraries.
