Wouldn't it be nice if you could make classes and objects in dark basic like you can in other languages like JAVA? It's could make things somuch easier. You can do functions, but sometimes those just don't handle enough. (*sigh*) Oh well...

Perhaps, you'd still need functions though, regardless of class support or not. Classes are just structure, functions do the actual work.

I just find classes are more efficient way of managing my data, even if only at design time.

You can have types in DBC too, and GLoabals aswell!

You just need DarkEDIT, and you go into the options menu and turn on the extended syntax for each of them.

Hope I Helped...

Classes and functions are what slow downa program. That's why java is slower, because of all the calls and redirecting code flow. It'd help organize, I suppose...but at what cost?

Types work fine in DBC ( with the extended syntax enabled )



That compiles, and works fine in DBC ( but is obviousely different to the methods in DBPro, thus, some might get confused. )

How do i know how to write it like that? I read the version history of DarkEdit that comes with it, it's explained in there for you.

Hope I Helped...
