hi all!
i was wondering if i can improve the quality of my fpscX9 games by using dark gdk?

i was also wondering what is possible with this? water, effects, dark AI, Storytelling like in half life 2?

how easy is it? is it like "ong im going to shoot myself, or is it like, ok that was good but ill do this this n this to make it better with ease!

and last but certainly not least, will i be able to sell anything i make in this engine if i wish to do so?

anyhow im downloading it now so i guess ill see.

Well Dark GDK is with out a doubt faster then fpscX9 and go here to check out the plugins which cover really everything http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=123054&b=22
and
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=145707&b=22

As for the coding, honestly i love C++ for a couple reasons:
1. Looks non childish so i feel like i'm not just some stupid kid doing what anyone can do
2. I like the flow of it (although many people don't)
3. Once you grab a hold of the syntax it really isn't hard. But i came from GML (Game Maker Language) which is a language used in the program Game Maker based of C++ and i've been using GML for about 3 years now so i guess that's a good amount of time =P

Hope that helps!

All GDK functions are explained but not C++. You must learn C++ to be able to use the GDK
