I wish you present a little game made 8 months ago with dbc. Is funny, but short. This is the version 1.0.

I want to convert this to dbp, but it seems not easy. After conversion i will upgrade the game, if i'll have the time.

Yes, i've not reported any detail of the game, but in a few words this game is an arcade space shooter.

I dont know how to save image for now, but i'm sure you have fun with this game.

I'll wait all the comments for it.

you can save an image using the cave man way I use.

1) Hit the "prt scr" button where you want to take a screenshot.

2) Close the program

3) Open Paint and hit Ctrl+v

There is the screenshot. Note that gamma changes do not show up in the image.

HEEEYULP! I'm being attacked by mutant ninja glowing green teath!

You've done some nice background effects there mate and showing a good grasp of the basics of programming. Now to learn how to make gameplay, which is an artform of it's own, and then no doubt we'll be seeing some good works.

It's not you mate, it's DarkBASIC.

DB has long since suffered from a programming connundrum called 'Gimbal Lock'. Ask DBS about it and they'll tell you that you need to learn and understand how 3D mathematics work - that is what I was told anyway back on the yellow forums. Read any paper on 3D mathematics and they'll talk about Gimbal Lock and how easy a mistake it is to make, and noteabely, how to avoid it.

All is not lost though as although I have not tried it myself I gather update 5 fixes the Gimbal Lock in the free flight commands. It would be nice for rotate object to work all along local axii too, but I guess we cannot ask for too much when there is a lot for Lee and Mike to do still.

Hmmm, I could have just said get update 5 instead of typing all this couldn't I. Well there you have it, I love the sound of my own text.

Well, isn't there a single command which can fix that? Change an object's rotation value? Maybe the next IDE update could include a 'Gimal Lock FiX' option which would add the command before any other code
