I just down demo version of darkbasic. I not too sure is it there is nothing inside for me to create simple game. I found a library sample game at folder myproj/room...

inside the darkbasic, i only saw programming. is it true that game only make by full programming and not click and drop type and few insert of program??? Sorry my english not good, i mean : take example: dreamweaver/frontpage create homepage by insert picture, type in and then save and that it. of course if want to advance, can switch to HTMl format to edit more advance.....

So is darkbasic also have 2 interface, insert charactor, level, then few program command then (f4) (f5) to make the game run...OR i only can see programming then comfile(f4) and execute(f5)

DBPro is a full-on programming language where you would have to write all of the code and design all of the media yourself

The 3D Game Maker (and soon to be released First Person Shooter Creator) are more of a click and drop type of system to make games with little or no programming

hope that helps

@Monzi,
There really was no need for that.

This is the newcomers board, and he was asking a valid and serious question. Not everyone realizes that DB/DBpro are full-on programming languages. Especially since the name of the company is The Game Creators, and they do have drag & click products that CR mentioned.

It doesn't make him an idiot.

At least he was smart enough to ask the question now.

@cattlerustler, nice response! You see you do have the makings to be a MOD. "don't fear the horns!"

By the way, HTML isn't a programming language, it's a scripting language. But CR's post hit it right on the nail.

i know 3D game maker is the easiest. almost don't need programming.
What if i buy 3D gamemaker, can i open in Darkbasic PRo? so that i can learn all the programming and step.
Sorry, i need to ask alot first before i buy. For me is abit expensive + i didn't study computer school or know any computer language.

I don't own 3D gamemaker but from what I have read about it, there isn't anyway to see the code that it generates by opening it in DBpro.

I'm sure someone will give you a definate answer on this. If you are looking to create First Person Shooters, and would like to keep coding/programming everything at a distance for now I would recommend waitng for "First Person Shooter Creator" to be released. If you are looking to create many different types od 3D games including possibly 2D apps, I would invest in DBpro. It will take you some time to have anything near a game, being it will be your first time with any programming language, but if you like it, it will stay with you for a lifetime and it is a most enjoyable hobby.

For right now, use the trial for what it was designed for. Spend thirty days with it to see if coding is for you. It's usually a "love it" or "hate it" type thing, and there isn't really any in-between.

BTW, if you are looking to create some basic 3D games, without full control of everything, The 3D Gamemaker may just be what you need. Just remember that this is a programming board, so most people here like programming languages.

If you downloaded the Original DarkBasic (not DarkBasic Pro) trail. I recommend you use this tutorial to get started and see how easy it is to program in DarkBasic.

the tutorial is located here

that was just uncalled for.

anywayz, yeah- it sounds like you want the 3d gamemaker. you would love that. then, maybe one day you'll like to begin programming. then u could buy DB Lite for $15 in case you think it wont be "your thing"

and maybe one day people won't just fire off and call u an idiot for no reason whatsoever.
