Why using DX & VB if you can use DarkBasic?
(Just a question...)

please explain. I've seen darkbasic, but it seemed far too simplistic.

I tried it once, said HEY!, this looks pretty good.

Then I noticed there were no lights and you can't make use of Transform and Lighting.

DarkBasic crashed on every system i tried it on. Besides, it gives you far less freedom then C++ (or VB) and DX.

and darkbasic is not free as i remember..

OK, Darkbasic sucks. I also read on the site that we have to pay some licenses too.
Long live VB, not?

**Sastraxi** · Jan 2nd, 2002, 01:55 PM

And C++

Zaei · Jan 2nd, 2002, 04:12 PM

Aye, c++ is what ya need

Darkbasic sounds evill.....

**Fox** · Jan 3rd, 2002, 05:08 PM

Hm, let's check..

DarkBasic is evil

(<- yup, indeed).

**Mad Compie** · Jan 4th, 2002, 03:01 PM

OK, long live C++, but also: long live C, not?

**Sastraxi** · Jan 4th, 2002, 03:36 PM

The speed increase is very little if any, and object-oriented programming is a must nowadays

So I would say no, I don't think C is an option anymore except for speed junkie functions (eg. graphics routines)

C++ add a little extra overhead, but OOP and such outweights the cons.
