Hello. Firstly, I'd like to say welcome to the TGC Community Forum and we appreciate that you have picked DarkBASIC as your choice of game programming language
About your queations:
1) I believe that this rumour is false. I myself have been using DB with Intel Processor since the days of Pentium 3 and have no experience of such situation.
2) DBP has lots of expressive functions that does checking such as you mentioned. A few examples:
- "File Open(File Number)" - Returns a value of 1 if it the file is open.
- "Check Display Mode(Width, Height, Depth)" - Returns a 1 if the resolution input is available for your current display card.
- "Object Exists(Object Number)" - Returns a 1 if the specified 3D object exists in memory.
3)- "Get Date$()" - This command will return the current clock date as a formatted string.
- "Get Time$()" - This command will return the current clock date as a formatted string.
If you notice, every command that has brackets "()" in it returns a value. The commands would not work if you did not assign a variable to it.
Rem Returns an error
Get Date$()
Rem Works
TodayIs$ = Get Date$()

There's only one hope.
