Do this:



A simple "Make Object Cube 1,5" command isn't going to do much by itself. You'll at least need a "Wait Key" after it, or try the little example I wrote up. If it doesn't work, I'm not what to tell you, except maybe try reinstalling DBPro. Sometimes that's the only option.

the problem is it runs the program and automatically ends it,so either

or


would fix it

waits till the person presses a button,then cont. the program,if it is at the end,it will end the program

would make it loop over and over again,so you will have to click the red X button on the right hand corner to end the program

Check some tutorials, play arround with the comands.Learn the basics.Before posting something think about your problem, if you decide it`s something major post here, else Newcomers Corner.That`s what i do everytime so i`m sure i didn`t lost somebody`s time with basic stuff posting in DBPRO section.Good people come in Newcomers Corner to help newbies, i`m one of them.And "Game won`t compile"?What?It`s missleading title."Compilation Failed do to Syntax Errors" is better.

This is TDK`s tutorial thread go trought all of them:

Glad I could help you, Travis.

And like luskos said, read through TDK's tutorials. They are perhaps the best tutorials on the TGC website. They're well laid out, well written, and very clear and easy to understand. I still read them from time to time, even though I know most of the basics of DarkBASIC, because they're that good. They helped me out a lot when I first started programming.
