hi i will soon be getting debain (linux) and i was wondering if anybody knew any links for a dark basic version which is compatible with linux, but i was also wondering whether i would have to use C or C++ instead of dark basic.

thanks

Dark Basic never has nor will it work with Linux. Some people say Wine and stuff make it work, but only for a few of the commands.

DarkBASIC doesn't work on Linux. At all.

Good luck with Debian, definitely one of the more advanced (and consequently harder to use) versions of Linux out there.

Uh. A GUI (Graphical User Interface), whether it's for a game or an operating system is only as hard as you make it (or, in some extreme Windows-only Registry hacking cases, break it).

There is a commerical convert of WINE that supports DirectX -> OpenGL. Also, with WINE & copies, you need to get your hands on some of the Windows DLLs required to work. I think I made a list of them and described about half of them somewhere on this forum... Erm.... (try searching for '.DLL' )

Anyway, there's quite a few BASIC-based languages for Linux available. Just remember what I found out the hard way - you can't install any RPM-programs even temporarily on a MandrakeMove (bootable-CDROM) distribution
