you should get on Amazon.co.uk or .com ... Blitz is cheaper
if you buy it outright though, will admit not alot of difference.
But still even a few bucks usually what sways alot - i mean why do you think DarkBasic still sells well even dispite Professional out?
its the cheapest of all of them
even with DarkMatter Enhancement pack its still cheapers lol
i wouldn't say i'm better at C++ than Lee, but then again remember Lee isn't programming Professional on his own - i mean notice the titles Lead Programmer next to Lee and 3D Programmer next to Mike ... so i'm guessing Mike probably takes the lead within the 3D Engine matters
Both combined - i'd have to be a young Carmack to be able to beat 2 quite talented programmers lol
Making engines isn't actually a hard task, the hard part is making them universally work.
I could make an engine specific to FPS within a week easily, but then using the same engine for an RTS - and i'd rewrite it so much would be more worth just starting from scratch.
Pro allows me to get around that, but i would love to see more C++ style syntax added in... perhaps that will come with the next evolution when DarkBasic goes from a Basic Engine language to a full language
but we'll have to wait and see what the next 3-4years will bring eh
