I have been following with interest a thread in the DBPro section and The TLA's (Three Letter Acronyms) are confusing me What is TPC? I know that Dark SDK is an interface to the engine through another language (like my favorite c++), I also saw Dark Games SDK mentioned. Is that the same as Dark SDK? Is there a place where the TLA's are defined for newbies?

thanx

TPC = third party commands also known as plugins.

There is a list here http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=38709&b=18

Basically just dlls that can be used in dbpro as if they where built in commands.

There are some of us who use
DB Std - DarkBASIC Standard
DB Ehd - DarkBASIC Enhanced

there is a very firm difference between the two, and while it is admirable for people to think of it as the Classic version; the truth of the matter is we're not calling DarkBASIC Professional 2.0, so the Standard Edition isn't actually a classic version of anything.

SDK - Software Development Kit

post up what Acronyms you'd like to know and people will respond with what they are.
