Hi,

I'm new and i've never purchased a game creation program before i just use free ones and most don't use coding but I am a HUGE NOOB when it comes to coding I can't even make a freaken chatroom! So what would you rate this program because it looks pretty cool to me just wondering because sometimes programs look totaly awesome and they arn't very good so please rare it in your opinion.

Yours Truly, Game Guy

I would rate it 8/10.
Dark Basic is very easy to learn. As it is a coding language it takes a lot more work than ie 3D game maker, but you get a lot more freedom to do what you want. 3D graphics are made very easy to use so making a simple 3D wont take too long.

A small program that works is better than a large one that doesn't.

7.5/10.

Great for beginners. Great if you plan on learning a different, more complicated language.


It has it's limitations

Yeah, I'd probably go with 7.5 - 8/10. If you're a beginner wanting to make games, it's great to quickly put stuff together if you stick to it, but that's the case with any language. As far as programming languages go, DBPro is pretty damn easy to learn. Plus if you're stuck, these forums are full of knowledgeable people who are willing to help. Helped me out several times, even if just from a good ol' forum search

Huh,
So........ I haven't seen a video on it so it created 3d types of games can you make it so it is like Civilization or is it more like a RPG where your one character or cant you do anything you feel like doing because im terrible with coding so could you give me an example for a code that does lets say if you click on something a message pops up what would the code be for that?

You can do anything but you have to make it yourself, there are no pre-set functions for stuff like that.

It might sound daunting to make a game like this but really all you need is to learn the basic "building blocks" of the language and learn how to stack them in the right way and you'll be making cool stuff in no time.
It's only if you really want to push yourself and learn the difficult maths and such to make really impressive programs that things get complicated in DB.

A small program that works is better than a large one that doesn't.
