What Makes DarkBASIC So Special?
For the first time ever, the power of the PC and Microsoft's game engine Direct X can now be controlled by everyday PC users. It's no longer the sole domain of the expert 'C' programmer. Anyone with a PC can now make 3D objects move around the screen interacting with other game objects and taking live responses from the game player's inputs. |

Other people are! So there is no reason why you can't too. If you've got the dedication and skill then you could produce a game worthy of retail with DarkBASIC. A number of DarkBASIC developers release their games into the Shareware market selling via their own web sites. Others have their games sold via independant distributors and publishers. If it's really good you can even find your game appearing on magazine CDs which is what happened to Star Wraith 3, featured in the PC Zone magazine for a number of months running. |
We can all sympathise with this - no-one is born knowing how to program a computer game and at times it can seem like a very distant and alien language. We were well aware of this when we designed DarkBASIC and tried our hardest to create a language that is as easy to read as it is powerful. Have a look at the example commands below - see if you can work out what they would do in your game:

XRotate Object 1, 180 Scale Sprite 1, 100 Mirror Bitmap 1 Set Text Font "Arial" Set Light To Object Position If Joystick Fire A() Then GoSub PlayerShoot |
If you've got this far then with a little determination and learning you could teach yourself all you need to know about programming with DarkBASIC. For extra help along the way there are free on-line tutorials to learn from.
