I would like to know the same. Looking at the documentation it looks like that it is just using the new syntax for the agk functions.

Yes, it is pretty similar to Dark GDK. Here's a small example showing the basic program layout:

+ Code Snippet

void app::Begin ( void )
{
    // load resources
}

void app::Loop ( void )
{
    // handle logic
   // update the screen
}

void app:End ( void )
{
    // clear resources
}

Syntax is fairly close to what you already know using the ID system for sprites and music etc. Some changes include a namespace being used (to avoid conflicts) and the ability to have an ID number returned automatically. If you're quite familiar with Dark GDK it won't take you long to get up and running with AGK.

We currently have templates and projects for Visual Studio, Samsung Bada IDE, Meego and Xcode (iOS and Mac OS). An update is on the way that includes improved projects for Visual Studio and fixes issues on 2008 and 2010 Express editions.

Thanks... exactly what I needed to know. I'm very familiar with the Dark GDK. This made my decision on buying the package.
