Publisher's description of DarkBASIC
From Fasttrak:This tool blends together the power of DirectX and the ease of BASIC, and is designed to give beginners the power to create professional software. DarkBASIC sits above a powerful DirectX engine that handles 3D objects, bitmaps, sounds, music, speech, and animation. DarkBASIC is a tool you can use for almost anything. This update contains built-in translation architecture and bug fixes.
CNET Editor's Note: The unregistered version has the following limitations. The Media menu has been disabled, you are restricted to 10,000 lines of code, context-sensitive help will not be available, the app is unable to load 3DS model files and is restricted in the number of objects, and standalone executables include a Dark Basic Logo. Additionally, the app doesn't include all of the models, bitmaps, textures, music tracks, and sound effects.

Version: DarkBASIC 1.13
Summary: This program is really not good. I'm trying to find something positive to say, but I just can't. It makes use of DirectX with an "advanced" basic like language and "interpret" your code, instead of compile it as C/C++ does. The result is what you ma... read more >>

Version: DarkBASIC 1.13
Pros: No matter what anybody says I think this is a great and easy language for making games. I do agree that it has problems but that is why they made DB Pro. This is a great way to begin game programming, it was how I learned and I never looked back!
Cons: Uses an old version of direct X (7 i think) but DB Pro uses the new version so I don't really have any complaints.
