If you are not an expert programer and have no intent on using the new stuff like memblocks etc, is DBPRO still better?

Yes, DBPro is faster, makes smaller progs and is continually being developed, so there will be less and less bugs and continuing support. Also, if you use it a lot, you will become an expert programmer so you can use all the advanced features

Cheers,

Heck, I use classic right now (well, Lite), but I wanna get Dark Basic Pro really bad. I saw the demo, and I cant wait to get the full version. Well, my birthday is in a month and a half (August 28th) so I can get the Super Game Creators Pack for my birthday.

Yes, birthdays are cool sometimes, but always remember, you will almost never get what you exactly wish for, unless it is very down to earth. I seem to have the worst luck with anything, & my luck doesnt get any better today.

My father dislocated his leg saturday night, & I have to have surgery on wednsday, so I may not be on hunting around the forums for a while.

Thats an example of my luck, & it doesnt change for my bday or any other time in the year, unless I am playing a game.

Best of wishes with your surgery mate I had surgery on my leg in september (my femor was disconnecting from the socket - ouch ) I did quite a bit of computering in that time - considering it was painful to move

Good luck though - surgery is a pain in the butt! Hope everything goes perfectly

My wishes

Another reason I like this forum, compasion from the people of it, compaired to Conitech & Clickteam.

I will probably be on, its not going to be very dangerouse or a complicated surgery, but the fact that my father has very bad timing on this matter.

He decided to go break down a very strong box for the recyceling bin, then he decided to jump on it, & for some reason, that thing was worse than a pogostick.

Not only did he hit his head on the ceiling, but he landed wrong & dislocated his leg pretty bad (he may need another surgery, this time on his knee instead of one of his organs (he last had surgery in November of last year.

When my mother told me what I happend, I just broke out into laughter, & was invisioning my fathers rebound off that box, just like a trapoline. I feel sorry for him, but man, it was funny, as seeing we have 12 foot tall ceilings in our kitchen.

Well, let me warn you, if you cant break up a box with your hands, or by stomping on it with one foot, dont try, set it off to the side & let some other poor fool do it. LOL, geeze, I am lauging now too, this vision is going to be in my head for another 7 years.

I am sorry if this sounds pretty wierd, but almost ripping your leg off trying to jump on a box is just embarrasing, & I will be lauging at him for another 17 years probably.

The sorry part about this is, my father is a physical therepist, working for the DBC (multi-national rehabilitation clinic (orriginating in finland.)) He is supposedly one of the top guys in the US division, responsible for training everyone on their equipment. However, with all the knowledge he has, he cannot save his own leg from him being stupid.

Thats the reason I dont want to have anything to do with being a surgeon or a physical doctor. I do want to go into biomedical, but only for developing some robotic parts to try & create my childhood fantasies, which are still with me today.

I want to study primarily in robotics, AI, biomedical, & mechanics, not to mention networking.

I just recently got back into HS to finish up my diploma (im a 20 year old sophmore,) who left the public school system after beeing cheated out of about 4 full year credits by my teachers incompitents.

I am still in the records at the school though, as the second best acheiver of all time, with getting 4 full year credit (not semester,) in 12 days. But I was cheated out of one half a credit due to the whole concept of doing my work on the computers, so I only got 3.5. That was in history alone, one grade was a 93, another was a 98, & the remaining two were both 100's.

But thats nothing compaired to their number one student. Starting at a Freshman with no creds, she graduated from HS in 4 months time. With 80 or above in all subjects.

Funny thing was, I met my best friend at that school, & he was cheated out of 2 full years of credits, due to the teachers being just retards. They would give him the same subjects over & over, & whenver he turned it in, he got a 89 the first time, which is passing by the schools standards, then they gave it to him again, he got a 92, then they gave it again, so he had a talk with the principal.

You know what the prencipals words were? If thats what your teacher says, then its final. No offense to anyone here, but if your school is run in the public school system, & every teacher is #1, an idiot, without a degree & #2, is some kind of weird happening african american who pumps up the volume at the school speakers & playes rap for the kids, to where it will create a mini earth quake in a 4 block radius (like my speakers for my comp at home without a subwoufer), you know your school is beyond repair.

I have nothing against the african american race, its the idiot kids of today (not all are idiots, & not all fit this perfectly,) who give races bad names (& anyone who is pumping up music to above 90%, at 3am, flipping off everyone, & giving the rest of us bad names.)

Man, im starting to sound a little better than my grandmother now, but im still no where near perfect. I just think that kids should tone down the gestures, indecent acts, & the music, especialy kids who are under the age of 18 & cant be considered an adult.

Sure I cuss, but people still call me a kid from the 60's, listening to softer music (mainly punk rock, techno, JPop, & some others.) I could be considered an A honor roll student in the public school system, but acts like this are not right, I also belive in most countries, you can get arrested for these things. The music can be for disturbing the peace, then gestures can be considered indecent exposure, & all of the other *you know what things* that kids are doing, can be considered indecent exposure.

By now your probably thinking, am I crazy, or is this guy even a reality, here is your answere. I have autism, which makes me rant a lot, makes me get pissed easily, & makes me kind of inventive, yet acting very stupid at the same time.

Well, now im going to go work on the suite I have had in my mind in inventing for a while now. Today where I live, with humidity involved, it fealt like 108 degrees from what the news said. So, im going to go create a body armor usable by almost anyone, that will have coolant & a heater for the coolant, with a small solar panel for recharging the battery (& a rechargable battery for cloudy days.)

I like to ride motorcycles, but its so hot at this time of the year, that I thought this would be a good idea to make this suite, to wear, walk, run, do combat, & do almost anything else in. What do you guys think of this idea (I know its been done, but it was so expensive to massproduce it, that it wasnt a reality when it was made in the early 80's.

So I was thinking of buying (or making) some plastic frames or armor peices seen in motocross armor (but make it look like its from HALO,) & test them out on my dirt bike & then later on my street bike (when I get my license.)

Anyway, what do you guys think, by now, you can see that I am board & have been thinking of ways to revolutionize the world, in my off time from work.

Sorry for the rambeling, its part of my disorder, & since they changed my medication, it will probably happen a lot more, unless I am occupied 24/7.

lol, its one of the weird effects of my disorder, I pace a lot too, but its only when im thinking up ideas around the house that I pace. I sometimes pace at work too, most everyone I think thinks I am crazy, but in truth, I am thinking up ideas that would be really cool either for inventions IRL or games in DBPro.

this guy i work with paces frantically. sometimes i'd like to bury a foot up his 4SS, because he does it all day long.

(back on subject)
if you plan on buying DB, definitly splurge and get Pro; there's nothing wrong with DBC once you know what you're doing, but DBP is to DBC as Word2000 is to Notepad. kinda.
