PureBasic 6.20 LTS

PureBasic is a modern, cross-platform environment for developing and debugging programs and games in BASIC, allowing you to create applications for the Windows platform, Linux, MacOS X and AmigaOS for Intel/AMD x86 and x64 processors, as well as for ARM 32 and ARM 64. The environment includes a cross-platform library containing more than 1800 functions. Their description can be found in the help (press F1 when PureBasic is running) or in the online help. Among them are functions for working with panels, windows, 2D and 3D graphics (OGRE tools), networks and much more. 32-bit images with alpha channel supported.

The functions of the "Thread" library make it easy to create parallel threads from regular procedures and functions, which is especially true for multiprocessor systems. There are facilities for thread synchronization. When using threads in a program, you need to enable the "Support Multithreading" option in the compiler settings.
