Do you mean a game engine? If so, yes. But depending on how complicated you want to get, it might be better to program in C++, or a combination DBPro using DLL's from C++.

nope.. a game console is in effect an OS..

to create an OS you need asm and c/c++ or other similar language.. maybe c# etc..

DB is directX only, so you need directX to operate it, plus a slew of windows libraries.. basically unless you're running windows you can't use DB..

Also it takes years and years of work to finally have some GLIMMER of usefulness from an OS, unless you have a massive team of people trained in OS programming.. which simply you do not have access to..

Er, I doubt it somehow seeing as it requires the .NET framework.

the fact that your asking where to get the software means you wont be able to program an OS..

but try using http://www.google.com
