Hi,

I just did something a bit crazy! I purchased Dark Basic Bonanza Pack and the Hands on volume 1 book.

Question is this language similar to AMOS, a language I absolutely loved in the 90?

DBPro is the new Amos (I hope)

almost the same but way more powerful on the 3D side, use to love Amos but found this in 2002 and have been using since.

think how many code lines in Amos you would need to make a spinning cube with a picture on the each face.

DarkBasic can do it 8 minus the rem statements.

Lee was an avid user of AMOS, back in the day - so DBPro is probably perfect for you. Myself, well I had an ST, so had STOS, which I am happy to say bears no resemblence to DBPro (STOS was the ugly, slow, and probably smelly older brother to AMOS).

In any case, DBPro is a very accesible language, if you have experience with AMOS then you'll be on a fast track, but even without prior experience, DBPro is an easy language to learn. Get stuck in, I say.
