Hi, it's good to see another solver for the PureBasic task list. I've noticed you've posted solutions to some of the tasks recently for PureBasic and wanted to bring something to your attention. In at least some of your code samples you have accessed Windows API. Since PureBasic is cross-platform these samples won't run on the non-Windows OS's that PureBasic was written for. You may want to limit the use of API so that someone testing the code won't be left wondering why it won't compile or alternatively include an explanation that the code will only run on Windows. --[[User:Demivec|Demivec]] 00:46, 14 July 2012 (UTC) |

Thanks for the advice. The fact that the procedure uses the Windows API should be obvious. This forum is about solving tasks using your language of choice, not about promoting a particular proprietary programming languages features. |
Thanks for the advice. The fact that the procedure uses the Windows API should be obvious. If you would like to add your own separate solution that would be nice. I simply can not present my solution to a task and then state something like "this uses the windows API", you might want to read my motto.
