Dark Resource

What is Dark Resource?

Dark Resource is a resource management system designed to work as an alternative to DarkBASIC Professional's default system.

The problem with DBPro's system is that is based on numbers. It becomes more obvious when you have a large amount of objects all with unique numbers. You might have a hero as number 4, and spaceship as number 8, a gun as 57... As you can see it can get tedious trying to remember each individual number. Plus you then have images, sounds, lights, particles.....and the list goes on.

And that's where Dark Resource comes in. Dark Resource removes all this hassle with the concept of names. Inside each name is an item. An item can be an object, a sound- really anything you want. A name can have as many items as you want. If you just want an easy way to refer to an object, then just add the object to a name.

For example, you could refer to the hero object as "hero". The spaceship could be called "ship". This way there is no chance of forgetting what the object is.

Or, if you have lots of textures you want to store in the one name, that's easy too! Just add them all to one name and you can refer to each one by a number. This is great for lots of objects such as bullets!

Plus, you can find items by their type. This makes it easy to store lots of different types of resources in the one name and find just the ones you want.

Finally, if there aren't enough types for you, you can add your own! Just use DR Add Custom and select a number for your type!
