I'm considering buying Dark Physics because the collision detection in DarkBASIC Pro isn't sufficient for detecting whether I collide with a large .X world object. Would Dark Physics solve this problem without slowing down the game significantly? Also, I might buy Dark A.I. with it, but it looks like it only works with entities in FPS games and such. I'm making a space shooter, so could I use Dark A.I. for the enemy spaceships?
Thanks.

If its just the collision you're having trouble with why not try sparky's collision - very fast and accurate (and free!).

Search the DLL forums for latest versions, tutorials, etc.

Thanks for all your help. I know it's a while after I posted this, but I just got DarkPHYSICS, and I have a stupid question. I know how collisions work with rigid bodies, but what if I make the world object a rigid body, and leave the spaceship as a normal object? Because when I make the spaceship a rigid body, it just falls and explodes due to the physics gravity. So: how do I do it?
