 great game dev app, 2002-06-25
This program is great for anyone who really wants to make games but doesnt have the time to pour over thousands of lines of obscure code.Anyone can learn the basic syntax and have something neat on the screen in under 10 lines. Ive enjoyed this product for over 2 years now and always find something new to explore or create on a daily basis. :)

 Dude that uses DrakBASIC, 2002-02-03
DarkBASIC is a great product. I use it as my primary language for the game I am creating. I find it to be an increadably easy to use language. The code is simple, it comes with a manual that explains everything, and some tutorials that explain it further. I find these things really helpful. It has a great interface and uses DirectX to its full extent. It includes sample games that show you how to do certain things, models and art for game creation, and its own editor/compiler. On thier website, they tell news, downlads for other games, support, additional artowrk and examples, links, and other things. A great recommendation, if you use DarkBASIC, is downloading a windows editor that is if not as much, easier to use than the one supplied by Enteractive. Also, due to DarkBASIC being written in C++, it can go as fast, or sometimes even faster, than C++. If you want to make a game, but don't want to spend a lot of time learning C++ and the money for a comiler, DarkBASIC should definently be your choice.
