Is it possible to write simulation games (e.g like Sim City) in DarkBasic?

If say I wanted people and cars to appear as the city grows would code like this work ok?

do
gosub movepeople
gosub movecars
gosub growbuildings
loop

I would have thought all car movement and buidings would stop whilst people are being processed etc.

Can anyone help or point me to some cose that may help?

Many thanks

You can write pretty much any kind of game you want. I'm afraid I can't help you much, as I don't really understand what your problem is.

Mark999, the answer is yes. Use the SYNC ON and SYNC commands to control when you program updates the screen that way you can perform many subroutines, but until you execute a SYNC command the user does not see the results. The illusion is that everything is happening at the same time.
