Well im looking in to buying DarkBasic Professional. But I hear and hear its buggy, Not fast not stable. I am sure I will get bashed. But I want to make the right move. I have read the features there outstanding. Community is great so far. Is this the right move?

You can try before you buy - there's a 30 day demo.


The word "Gullible" cannot be found in any English Dictionary.

try DBP! yes there are many bugs, but there are ways to get around them, DBP is not the fastest programming language, but is still decent, not sure by u mean by "not stable", like i said there ways around nearly all these bugs. It's very easy to use, but NOT so much that a little 8 year old could learn it, and ISNT only simple enough to make stupid little games, and, probably unlike the 3D Gamecreator(never played it just looks limited), its not very limiting in what u could do. Of course your not going to make the next WoW with it, but you can do many great things using it, check out the games that people have made with it, idk where, but somewhere on this site you can download some of the best games people have made with them, and some are pretty impressive . The community is willing to help when u need it, and DBP is a great start to other programming languages such as C++. Try the demo, then after u figure out u like it so much buy it!

Video games…they can take you places unreachable, impossible, unfeasible. They put you in the book...they put you in the movie...they put you in a world, a world that before could only be imagined.

I say get DBPRO !
sure there are bugs a plenty but as you can see theres a lot of people using it...The bugs are a little overhyped, as long as your willing to learn and work around and through the bugs then DBPRO is a great idea.
Ok im a little biased but meh ! go for it !

I love Basic is like english, C++ = Latin. Know what I mean. As for the dates possable TIME ZONE's. What about SDK I dont quite understand it is it just a think like TRUEVISION? Thank you Hope to talk soon.

Start with DB Pro, definitely. There are a few bugs that you might have to work around, but there are a lot of people using the language and they found them first so if you get stuck you'll often have an answer already waiting on you.
