is it possible to make a program that would just stat out as a black screen and then from inside it you could type like

print "Hello"

and it would do it to the screen right in front of you?

So you mean just like the darkbasic editor except the game updates instantly as you add new lines? If so, then it seems to me like it could be possible. Just script a little text box and have it check what you typed. You could program it so that if it matches up with a known command, then it would do that command. It seems like this would take a very long time, but if you really want it, I guess its possible.

Well, you might be able to do it so that first you type out the commands, you save it, then you start db on it using the command switches, but there is a catch which I know about because I've studied Direct3D

In simplistic terms, exclusive means full screen, non-windowed, so try using SET WINDOW ON (need newer than DB1.08) before you try it.

So you mean just have two windows open and whatever code you type into one will hapen in the other. Well I like that way so if it's possible please tell me how.

It's not really that important to me I don't have any reason to use it I was just wondering if you could do something like that.

Uhm, technically, isnt this the same as the CLI (command line interface) does? You type in commands at the bottom of the screen, and they are performed on-screen. All you need to do is compile, preferably an empty program, and it starts up.

Whatever I did I didn't do it!
