I have been looking at dark basic pro forevor, and what always daunted me was the lack of a decent world editor for placement of things... I am incredibly slow when it comes to picking up coding, and was looking at gamestudio just for that.. to accomodate my visual side.

now years later i am seeing alot of decent changes to db pro, and would like to give it the ol heave ho, but what i am still curious about, is there a decent world editor available, where you can visually place your objects and work on code as you go as in other engines?

thanks for your time

little edit to this, I know there are several in the forums, but maybe a list of wich ones folks find to be the best, and most intuitive.

If you are looking for a program drag and drop...you had better try with FPSCreator.

no, not looking for drag and drop, that would sort of take a bit away from the creativity.
in the case of a6game studio, you can pretty much select the object, use a default script to get you started, or modify til the cows come home to edit the behaviors.
you visually associate the object with the script..thats a bit more of what i am looking for.

In that case, you can have a look to Unity....it is easy to use, and you can use scripts to decide what your object have to do.

You can get this program Unity 2.6 for free.

cheers.

I`m working on my own editor.You can do the same.For now i can load and save my levels, i`m working with dbpro primitives for now but i`ll make object library later.I`ll need sound and shader libraries too.And i`m considering to make 2 versions of it, one with support for terrains and one without.

Where there is a will, there is a way.
I often edit my posts, that`s who i am
