Updated thinBasic beta 1.7.8.0 setup.
Changes:
- fixed MAT problems for scalar multiplication
- added few new functions to convert UFT8 to unicode to ansi strings
- few more fix
News:added a new module called
OnLineScoring. Do you recall something?

While you are reading this message, have a look at the top of this web page, close to "Search" menu you will see "thinGaming" link. We have created a dedicated web area where to handle scoring from games created using thinBasic and thinBasic OnlineScoring module. This module is able to do 2 specific things: store and/or retrieve results for a specific game. One line of code to store a score, one line of code to get scoring.
How it will work?
- Every game participating to thinBasic gaming online will have to be registered. If you have a nice game ready to be modified in order to store and collect scoring from thinBasic online gaming system, please ask. We will review the game and decide
- If we will register your game we will send you a key to be used by OnLineScores module in order to talk with the web part of the system
- for the moment both obfuscated (or bundled) scripts can be used to store game results. We also store if the result was generated by a plain text script or obfuscated one. I'm not sure we will continue to accept scoring from plain text scripts in future.
To check by yourself how it works, install latest thinBasic beta 1.7.8.0 and check under \SampleScripts\OnlineScoring\ directory. You will find two examples working with a test game we have already setup on the server. You should be able to be familiar quite quickly with the functionalities. Also check on help to have more details.
thinBasic Online Scoring System is in beta version. We will make many changes both in OnLineScores module and in dedicated web site depending on user reactions and suggestions.
Let us know what you think.
