The professionalism and support from the DB team is unparalleled. Although DBP has some teething problems, it is without doubt a programming language that will establish itself as the most powerful and accessible language ever created.
I first cut my teeth on DB 1.2 and watched how the team supported and listened to every comment and suggestion. They upgraded and upgraded, each time improving, refining and fixing the bugs and including the commands we wanted. I purchased the full version of DB almost 2 years ago and can honestly say that I have never in my 22 years of computing enjoyed a single piece of software so much and had such vast value for my money.
Although I was never a regular poster on the forums I did make a few games (3D Solitaire to name but one), but I never really shouted about them that much, instead I quietly followed these and all the other user forums religiously, but in the shadows.
Now that DBP is out, I like everyone else couldn't wait to get my hands on it. At first I thought the trial version was far too buggy (mainly because none of my DB programs would work in it), and secondly it didn't seem to do what I wanted it to do as easily as before, but after using the editor/debugger for one evening I was sold. I ordered my upgrade!
Needless to say that it may be some time before we have everything working the way we want it, but the power and speed of DBP, the extended functionality and lower level access is amazing, and we all know that the DBP team will endeavor to grow this language and support it like they always have.
Dark Basic didn't just make a language, they made a language that is teaching thousands of us to become programmers, game designers and artists, and it is with our support that they make this possible. SO hats off to them for struggling through and bringing DBP to us all - I know my $70 is well spent.
So let’s show the team our overwhelming support by marking this thread with as many “THANK YOU” messages as possible. If we show the team our support, they will support us with their goodies.
