You can't compare PPL to VS 2005 really. Neither can you compare NSBasic or any other small languages designed for the PocketPC to it.

However it is a lot easier to code programs and write games in PPL than in VS. VS is big, complicated for hobbyists and expansive. With VS you can't code directly from your PocketPC and you have no cross-platform Assembler like PPL.

So it doesn't compare but it does offer a lot of advantages over VS 2005 I should say. And trust me I know what I am talking about, I wrote PPL in VS and eVC.

Sweet. Hey, can you cross-compile for SmartPhone edition?

Sorry we don't support SmartPhones just yet but it is in our plans for a near future. We would like to support more platforms in future releases.

It seems you have to click on the link under the word GET (the little down arrow icon). If you click on the link PPL 1.01 (which is intuitively what you'd expect to do), it takes you to a download page which doesn't seem to work. I'd suggest if you weren't able to work that one out yourself :rolling: , you'd probably struggle writing OOP programs - but don't let me put you off.

The link under the word GET is currently:

Like ChillyWinter said you need to click the little down blue arrow on the download page. However here is an easier link:

We are preparing version 1.02 for release very shortly. It fixes some install problems and make things easier (yet again) for novices.

Will you support trueVGA resolution?

I tried to use the visual form builder on my x51v (in trueVGA mode), but it can't be full screen, it's only using the fourth QVGA (240x320) top left corner.

kornalius

PPL supports true VGA and the PIDE can build VGA forms. There should be a WM2003 folder in your \Program Files\PPL folder, the .EXE in there is a WM2003, WM2005 VGA enabled build.

The visual form builder on the PocketPC is probably still set to use QVGA resolution. I will let the VFB developer know about this so it can be resolved in 1.02.

We are planning on releasing version 1.02 very soon. Hopefully by the end of the week. It fixes a lot of things and adds some cool new features too.

Better release it soon. This thing has more bugs than OSX!

kornalius

It will come out within a day or two.

Can you please help us by listing the bugs you've found that we can still address before 1.02 comes out?

Best regards,
Alain Deschenes

PS: It kinda feel good to be compared to OSX the most robust OS. ;) Being compared to Windows 95 is another story. :)

kornalius

Btw, check our forums for a list of things that were fixed already in 1.02. If you find more please let us know.
