Hello, I'm fairly new to GDK and have been messing around with it for the past week or so.

I found a tutorial for making an 2D game in DB on the forums here and decided to try and convert it over to GDK.
However, the tutorial uses the 'gosub' commands and I can't find an equivalent command for GDK

I've tried using Goto's, but they don't seem to work as well as a gosub..

In short, is there a command similar to the 'gosub' in DB for GDK?

A function call is a gosub. Create the function and when you need to, call the functions by name.

Hi there

A gosub is an older style of using functions (sub-routines).

With DBPro you now want to use the newer style of functions and call them just with their name (and any associated parameters).

Have a look at a few examples of db pro parameters and it should make it clear how they differ from gosubs... and it's not much different.

Hope this helps
Mike

You can use subs in DarkGDK!



But the sub: must be in the function.


Like this. But you should use functions instead of sub, because subs break loops.

That's not a sub, it's a label.
