darkbasic is a programming language, FPSC is an application made with Darkbasic pro to make first person shooter games. If you have no idea what your doing and you want to make a first person FPSC is definatly for you

or, if you want to code your own game, having all of the control in your hands, get db..

DB is easy....You can do whatever you want but there are limitations in FPSC

No programming knowledge: FPSC. It has its limitations (for example, genre, lol), but it works without much of programming.

Personally I think FPSC is a waste of money
You can ONLY make First Person Shooters!
FPSC is certainly the quickest and easiest but that's because there is no coding involved. Some games have mission editors which are fun to mess around with (Empires etc), I have a feeling that is what FPSC is like.
DB was the best present I ever got! I've been using it for nearly 5 years now and it throws up something new every day!
The best thing about actually programming a game (which you can't do in FPSC) is that you feel that YOU actually made it.

Yeah, DB is AWESOME!!!! But if you want lots of control over 3D games then get DBPro. But besides that, get DB. When I got the demo of FPSC, I didn't know what to do! The tutorial was way to fast, and I didn't know if I was looking in a 2D Viewport or a 3D Viewport. But my signature explains what NOT do do in DB.

I shall not make such information public for the sake of the relevant moderater.

What's wrong with everyone? The guy explicitly asked for no programming knowledge. DBC is a coding language... Then why is everyone recommending DBC?

The kwy is in your last question, no programming knowledge. This definately leaves only FSPC. But, undoubtedly, DB gives you more flexibility, originality and usability, where as FSPC is quicker and easier, but less flexible.

To be brutally honest, if you buy FPSC you'll make a few games and it will sit on the shelf until you decide to bin it.
I've never used FPSC but heard most of the people who own both FPSC and DB wish they'd never bought FPSC

Like I said before, if you have any strategy games for the PC, dig them out, most of them have some sort of mission creating editor

Thanks. I just wanted some user feed back. I do have some programming knowledge. I used to make super nintendo quailty games in Q Basic and I'm starting to learn C++. I needed to know if DBP was to much of a hastle to get reasults semi quickly. I ordered DBP today. Any one know where some good tuts are. Mainly focusing on some thing where I'll know how to create a town when I'm done.

This is a very easy question: DBPro wins. If you can make FPSCreator with DBPro, why buy FPSCreator? Just program it yourself.

Some great tutorials are found right here on this website. Just do a search for whatever you're looking for. Also, checkout the codebase. There are a lot finished programs you can learn from. The binary moon tutorial is written in dbclassic, but it still works well with dbpro.

Also, you're going to need sparky's collision dll if you don't want your objects going through each other. Do a search for it.

I have been thinking about buying DBPro, How hard is it to program with it's language. I have 3D Gamestudio and it got me so aggravated that I put it on the shelf.

pretty easy really, if you can use BASIC you can use DBPro
