Does Lee Bamber have a login on TGC. That would be cool to talk to the guy behind Darkbasic. The Living Legend.

Since he wrote Darkbasic, it must be the easiest language for him to use, since he knows every command and whatnot. He must code great games in hours. It was be hella embarrassing if Lee was reading this right now. Lol.

He has done some demos that are included with old db. I don't think he has much time to make games though, as he spends most of it working on DBP. I bet DBP would be a lot better if he used it to make a full game because he would see everything that was really needed. Not practical, but a nice thought.

Hey gloating, I thought the moderators had you banned already?

And if they make that game flashy looking and call it a tech demo, it could boost their sales.

pfft! Lee Bamber isn't real, he's a virtual mascot of The Game Creators have created to sway everyone's attentions from what is really going on behind the scenes.

Both TGC and Blitz Research have been in secret cahoots for years working on some secret military contract that uses mind control via subliminal messages in the BASIC software they create.
You ever wonder how 'fanboys' are created, it isn't out of choice... it's all an elaborate conspiricy in which the British hope to take over the world again!!

as you can see from this memo between the companies,

I figured out TCA's plan:

He's going to make some crazy hypnotic game, with subliminal messages. Those messages will tell us to kill our governing leaders. Then in the chaos, he will step up as the leader of the world.

How did i figure it out you ask? Well, TCA dosen't really stand for "the coding area". It stands for "To Create Anarchy".

All we can do now is wait, and pray.

I also figured out where he is heading to take over the world:

Take his name

The Coding area

Now take the C of "coding" infront of the 1st A of "area". Then move the O in coding after the T in "the". Now take the HE in "the" and put it infront of the DING of "heading"

We now have To Heding Carea.

Now as a common rule, put the to in the middle : Heding to Carea, now say it out loud. It Says:

Heading to Korea.

I figured you out.

Way too much time. Kids let this be a lesson to ya, if you ever quit your job, try to have one lined up right away, or you'll end up like me wasting you time away jumbling names.

Speaking of which, I have Lee Bamber- which turned into "le amb beer", and if you use the common rule of replacing 1 letter you get "Le AMD Beer". What does this mean? Well it means the French and AMD teamed up and created Lee Bamber, a British robot specially programmed to create programming languages that make us want french beer.

It's a combined effort of Animatronics and CG Rendering that give us the illusion of Lee Bamber.
Although he appears to be getting an award for his work, that is really just a puppet that was later replaced with a rendered version of Lee; I mean you can tell it's CG from a mile away, just look at how the light doesn't quite reflect and the way he doesn't appear to have any sweat.

Definately by professionals, no doubt the same guys who worked at Square Pictures, but SOOOOOOO obviously fake

FPSC is written in DBPro, warts and all. If you look at the screenshots, that fact becomes quite apparent (note the dreaded ugly blur effect as Lee insists on stretching 640x480 to fit 1024x768).

I believe the editor is written in C++ using MFC though (MFC = User Interface library for C++).

If you plan to use MFC i hope you have a bloody good understanding on Multi-Threading. Cause it isn't going to be easi getting MFC to work along side DarkBASIC Professional.

(it's not easi to get it working outside of COM capable languages)
