PureBasic programming language

PureBasic is a Basic dialectal variant. It has a limited command set but compiles directly to assembler (IA-32) and generates therefore very small and fast executables. It can compile for Microsoft Windows, Linux and AmigaOS from the same source file. It is possible to add assembler command within the Basic source code while using the variables declared in the other Basic source. The programmer has therefore a possibility to optimize the time critical passages of this code rather easily. As the bit width of 80386 and later processors is 32-bit and it has all the basic operations for dealing directly with 32-bit values the microprocessor can be programmed like a programmable calculator and therefore very efficient game programs can be written.
