Does AppGameKit use the same coding language as DBpro? For instance Center Text and Wait Key doesn't seen to produce anything. I want to make games I've Mae in dark basic apps and I don't want to change a ton of the code. Is that possible?

AGK is a new language, there isn't really a direct relationship as far as syntax goes - but it probably wouldn't take long to learn the differences. A lot of the game logic will transfer, but arrays for example use square brackets. I think the ease of conversion depends on how neat the DBPro code is.

I have a huge pile of papers on my desk, and somewhere in the middle of it is all the regular expressions I wrote to convert DBP to AGK. It covers about 90% of the directly convertible code. If I find it I'll post it.

Most commands are similar in syntax and function. But not all DBP features are available in AppGameKit and things sometimes works differently.
