Pixel perfect sprite collision using the alpha value

This will be a short guide that introduces some of the basic commands of dark basic and darkbasic professional. By the end of this lesson, you'll have completed many small programs along with one small text game.

Displays all possible colour combinations (using a 4-step increment)

This is an even faster version of a starfield, and is more flexible than the tutorials

Simple readable example of using an array as a stack

Simple readable example of using an array as a queue

Shows both a countdown timer and an elapsed time timer.

See whether the user has dbl-clicked btn 1...

this lets you exporter x file from DBpro ( this do not do animation )

uses a set display mode to change the display mode to match the window resolution to the window size when the window is resized

Screen and text fade

A demo featuring lines, dots and rotating sprites

Emulator of the old game Telesketch, without media.

Various screen wipes for clearing screens.

Heightmap to matrix conversion

A program to show how to use a make_hill function i have made

Calculates the distance between two points in 3D space

Use negative alpha blending (dark ghosting) + reflection shading to produce semi-reflective objects.

Example of how to return multiple values from a function using a stack system. Stacks are useful for many other things as well.

This is a DB Pro version of the C function isalnum(). More explanation is given in the comments in the code.

This is a function to do the same as isalpha() in C. It returns a 1 if temp is a letter of the English alphabet, otherwise zero is returned. Generally a call to this function would be preceded by temp = scancode()

Example of the Heap system used in the A* pathfinding routine

Newbies can learn some quick fundamentals on using the basic input commands in DBPro.

This sample was created to test functionality in both 2D and 3D space and demonstrates simple use of the spline functions.

Paremeter file input routines

An include file with functions to read WAV header information, such as sample rate, length, etc...

An include file with functions to read MP3 ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags. This is useful for things like media players, etc...

lets you have open values for media indexs

This just tests the speed, it's for Dark Basic Pro as well as for DarkBasic Classic. In Darkbasic Pro you get a lower number. So, how lower the number, how better your system is(I get 72 in DBClassic).

A small program which shows how to use the smooth_matrix function i made after readed DAVID89's description of how to do it.
