A couple of years have passed now and I have forgotten all the DarkBASIC I ever knew, but Pete at least took the lessons to heart and is now a Computer Science major at Penn State.

My plan was to use this as the basis for the seminar for my son and his friends, and you can see how my first attempt evolved from idea to completed project by studying the pages that follow.

 Forum Thread : Darkbasic :. GarageGames
I too was looking very closely at DarkBasic, and the idea of getting DX9 compatibility and features plus an easy-to-understand programming language all for just $80 seemed too good to be true (especially when you threw in some of the 3D art and world packages).
I downloaded a cool little game where you shoot tiny aliens that are invading your living room, and it ran great on my modest PC with no hitches and plenty of cool eye candy.

DarkBASIC has been designed to eliminate the restrictions your PC has presented you with in the past.
Other things sounded a bit strange, as they claimed at the same time that (a) DarkBASIC was a programming language, and (b) you did not need any programming knowledge, two statements that are obviously mutually exclusive.

 DarkBASIC Professional - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DarkBASIC Professional (often abbreviated DBPro) is a powerful BASIC dialect targeted specifically at 2D and 3D game development.
Other additions include better support for networked multiplayer commands, BSP level support, bump, sphere, and light mapping, pixel and vertex shaders, commands for physics control, multiple camera viewpoints, better interfaces to external DLLs, advanced sprite commands using 3D to render them quickly in 2D, a particle system, and built-in queue and stack manipulation.
One of the most important changes was that DarkBASIC Pro uses true machine level compilation which allows it to be significantly faster than DarkBASIC.

 ACCU Reviews: Beginner's Guide to DarkBasic Game Programming
The premise behind DarkBASIC is to give, in a BASIC like language, the power that is needed to access DirectX (easily) and so make games.
Part two could be subtitled the functions called in DarkBASIC which are used to access the different parts of DirectX, (not very snappy subtitle but part two is not very snappy either at 300 pages or so).
It is a fair reference and it does show the power and extent of DarkBASIC, but it does not tie all the bits together into anything but little noddy gamelets.

 DarkBASIC - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
Darkbasic is easy to learn, but not as powerful as C++.
Posted - 6/21/2003 9:32:12 PM Use darkbasic if you want to make a game, use c++ if you want to learn to program (darkbasic will help you learn to programming concepts too).
Just know this, I've had 4 years of computer science programming classes in college and have yet to complete a game, not because of c++ (or any of the other many languages i learned) but because of the underlying design and content needed for the game.

Nice to see you pop by if you don't mind us saying so - the forum is the heart of Retro Remakes where remakes are plotted, planned, discussed and even in some cases, argued over.
That was one thing that put me off darkbasic, the amount of patches, had a glance at blitz but couldn't be arsed using it either...
I definitely prefer blitz over DB from a programming point of view, and compiled programs seem to have less of a performance hit on BB, whereas on DB it is really noticeable with games of complexity.
