1) You can make DLL's in C++ to be used in DBP, but in DBP itself no, C++ can't be used.
2) It's possible but very difficult, don't expect to churn one out in 2 months .
3) No restrictions, you can sell what you make.

1) DB an dDBPro are strictly basic, but you can buy Dark SDK, which, I believe, is for use with C++

For questions 2 and 3, see above

There are 10 types of people, those who understand binary and those that don't.

The skill of the programmer of course matters, but it is true that DBP games generally look much better, because I believe it uses a newer version of direct x (not completely sure, but quite sure), and it has shader support, plus a whole lot more command! If you are going to get one or the other, get DB Pro! I got classic first, then updated to Pro, and I do not regret the upgrade in the least bit!
