@Phaelax, I agree with you, and seeing as I have been told DBC doesn't actually compile, DBpro of course compiles faster. DBC just happens to have a good set of examples whereas DBpro doesn't (or didn't when I got it). That's why I said it's easier to learn for beginners... It has absolutely nothing to do with the language itself.
@Chris K, you're absolutely right. The idea is always more important than the tool. And that's where the misunderstanding comes in. For some of us the idea is to prove that people can push what they have so much further than they do. To me coding a game in DBC rather than DBpro is like saying if I can do this in DBC, then I need to do even better in DBpro.
It's determination. I actively use both languages, and it's ridiculously easy to make good graphics in DBpro. It actually makes me wonder why more DBpro projects aren't that attractive. It's actually too easy for me. Right now I want to push myself to a limit, and at the moment I'm not good enough to push the limits of DBpro in any real way. DBC though is like a puzzle, and I love puzzles. It's a real challenge to figure out how to do things in it that pro could do easily. I like that kind of stuff, and so do some other people. That's where my determination comes from, and from what I can tell, that's why I'm actually completing projects right now.
So in the end, determination is the motivator I use, and it keeps me from dumping projects left and right like most people here do.
And Old School is a project I was working on a while ago. A number of people said it was the best platformer in any DB (I doubt it was, but they thought so), even though it was just a playground demo. Now I'm just motivated to do a full game of it. It was never Old School in any way, which I thought was rather funny. You could probably find the thread about it if you did a search, or downloaded the demo off of my website... I'm going to restart it in DBC because after this thread it seems like a good idea that I should be making it in DBC.
As a note in general, why are people still arguing that people should get Pro? No one is arguing against this, not even me. I'm just defending why I USE DBC when I have both. I doubt most people would be motivated by the same things I am, SO I RECOMEND THAT PEOPLE GET PRO. Even with motivation, most people wouldn't want to put such a big limitation on themselves.
