Hey all,

I have doing some 2d projects lately, and really had success with them. Now I've been reading up on tile based games, so those might be the basis for my next projects. I've also read up on the "2d Extension Kit," and it looks really good. Yet I would rather save money if writing my own tiling algorithms are just as easy, and would get me the same result. And as far as I know, there's no demo to try it with.

What's the consensus here?

I don't think its worth it to buy the 2D Extension Kit if all you're going to use is the tile system. I think you could do that easily enough by yourself.

Why don't you try making your own first and see if you get anywhere?

Hello,

You're maybe speaking of : "2DPluginKIT" ?
If it's the case, you have a small SHOOT EM UP demonstration available at the bottom of the product page:
http://darkbasicpro.thegamecreators.com/?f=2dplugin

Direct link for the demonstration :

Thanks for the comments!

Freddix,

I downloaded the demo before I posted this, but an error popped up about "d3dx9_31.dll". Does that mean my Direct X is not updated, or something else?

Cool demo!

Thanks for all your help on answering my question. Yet I would like to ask...Anyone else bought this kit and can review it?

I have been wondering the same thing as well. I would be very interested in this if it could do what I needed, but I've never seen all that it can do.

Yes I know this is old but I'm on the verge of buying the 2DKit and wondered is it worth it? Does it make it easier to create 2d games as I'm new to DBPro. Are there any problems with it? Does it work ok on Vista Home Premium? Do the help files go in depth? Are there any tutorials?
