Me and 2 of my friends decided we want to try making some games, so i'm currently trying to learn 3d modelling and also DarkBASIC pro, and i've been using darkbasic for about 4 days or so now. For some reason the text and print commands won't show up, and also i can't get animations to work. Above is part of my code which i'm having the problems with and if you see anything else i can correct please let me know. And also, if anyone can direct me to a decent tutorial on making a basic 3d game it will be appreciated.

Thanks

To start with, try adding the line

Sync On: Sync Rate 60

at the start of your program.

Secondly, move the Text line to after the Sync inside the main loop.

If you can, post your whole code for us to see, because often times, it's something in a different area that is interfering with something in another area .

EDIT: Nevermind, it looks like you posted most of it, I just saw that it started with a GOSUB statement and figured it only had a small gosub posted . I'll take a look at it. One thing that I try to do when something like that doesn't work is take it step by step. First try just getting text on the screen without a model, then try doing it with a cube, then try with your object. Work your way narrowing down till you find the bug that way .

i have another question, but it's linking to another game. I want to try making an SSB kind of game (super smash bros) and i can't figure out how to make the platforms. I tried making it before and it was sort of glitchy as your sprite could go right through the platform if you ran into it from the side. And also, i can't post my code since i accidently deleted it, so i'm really just looking for any suggestions or pseudocode i can use.
