Primary questions
1. I haven't entered this problem YET but it would be good to enter prepared. If you wanted to program AI would you recommend buying Dark AI? I ask this because I don't know if artificial intelligence is how smart you make it or not. E.G. If I wanted an ally (computer) to help the player when called for would it be a good idea to buy Dark AI?

2. Say I'm creating a model. Would it be beneficial to texture the model in the progaram then send it or texture the model within Dark Basic. Would used shaders show up on the model too?

Secondary questions
If one is generous they may answer these but I don't NEED to know.
Is Dark Basic Professional's graphics limited by the program's engine or GPU's ability (creativity will only get so far.)? E.g. A set limit on polygon count. Too many effects.
I noticed that when I ran the program (Dark Basic Professional) the cpu usage spikes to 50% relatively (duo cores). Could bad coding make the cpu cringe (or a complex one for that matter)? Does coding favor parallelism, can you code with parallelism? There are many loops, repeats and subs in this language......

if this is the correct one Neuro is talking about here is the link http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=64198&b=7 what it does is when you move close to the box it finds the distance and moves towards the player once the collision between the player and the box hits game over as it is explained in the tutorial
