Thanks for the quick reply, especially with helping the new guy.
I'm a pretty experienced Visual Basic programmer, so finding dark basic was pretty exciting since most game-oriented programming is C++, and I don't do that yet.
I tried doing the upgrade for the editor, but couldn't download the first patch, I checked again and am downloading it now.
Stupid question, what's the difference between the editor and the 5.1 patch? I know what the editor is
, so I'm guessing the 1.09 patch is for the IDE and the 5.1 is for the compiler?
Oh, and if it's not too much trouble, could you give me some advice on what a video card minimum and recommended should be? I tried the rainbow shading tutorial earlier, and my nvidia card didn't like that command all that much!
Thanks again though, and look forward to learning from you folks in the next couple months as I dig deeper into this thing...
