As I stated before I am looking to purchase a pack for DarkBASIC, but which one should I buy, there are so many different ones. I hope to become an effecient programmer, and make 3D games. Please tell me which one would be the best for me to buy.

I also would like to know the new web address for a tutorial because I would relly like to try it out before I buy one but the one posted in the first post was an old address.

Thanks.

If all you want to do is program, then just buy Dark basic. If you want to have a wider selection of 3d objects, buy the one that includes Dark matter. Optionally, if your the type of person that likes to edit the media that your game will use, then you might try one of the others, or you could use other programs to edit media, etc... etc... (insane ramblings from a guy who can't get any answers to his forum post...)
Oh yeah... uh... It really all depends on what you what to do and how much you want to spend.

Destroy you with my mind, I could!

Don't forget there's DB Pro, slightly nmore expensive, but with a whole host of additional features.

You might have missed it...click on the DarkBasic Professional link on the main nav bar.

@Rich: it might be worth having a products page with links to all the products...it's easy to miss an entire section of the website if you're not familiar with the product.

I also have one more question what is the recommended packages, what extra software would I need to make 3D games, would it be best if I got all of the extra software?

Thanks Again

I'm hoping to win DBPro in the Alienware contest, so i'm not really experienced here, but I think DBPro comes with Character FX. The info on that is from March though, so I'm likely wrong.

Well you would need to make your objects so you would need a 3d object design, you will also need your world with things like houses, floor etc.

Life is just a dream - you are not really alive, so get a gun and start killing evil people.
