I bought this video game creator, and was at first very excited about using it. To my dismay it didn’t work very well on my operating system, win7, I emailed the creators at [...] and they said to download a patch that they offer. Well I thought everything was fine so I unistalled darkbasic then reinstalled it then I downloaded the patch. Now darkbasic worked, but I couldn’t use any of the media files. How am I supposed to make a game without them? I emailed a second time to [...] but they just told me the same thing they told me before. They told me to download the patch. So after more times of unistalling and reinstalling I gave up. It doesn’t work on win7 for me. Hopefully other people will have better luck.
for only $50 this is AMAZING!!! ive been into programming for about 2 months a know a little C++ but DarkBASIC is waaaay better these are the reasons why:
-Simple and Easy to use
-Can make a program in less than 10 minutes
-You can still make awesome gamestill
-Its made JUST for people new to programming games
i dont think there is anything else i can cover except for the fact that their is very few bugs..but they halt you from learning and the community is great and the websites has plenty of downloadable stuff on it for you
This was not at all what i expected. The game does not allow you to “jump right into it”, you have to either know code, or go thourgh hours of tutorials and learning to get it right, and then you even get syntex errors because the booklet that came with it was wrong! It somehow reminds me of dos with a black screen and you sitting there putting in characters, which is probably what real game programing is. But if you just want something to play around with and have fun with, either look somewhere else or just get game maker from [...]
The four stars are for what the product is. The one missing is for what the product isn’t.
DarkBASIC is a BASIC dialect designed to facilitate video game making. The language is very English-like, which makes it easy to understand. From my experience, DarkBASIC is fast, powerful, and easy.
However, it is VERY important to note that, in this product, you are paying for an editor, not a compiler. This means that the programs you will write will be saved in .DBA format and will be useless outside the editor. You cannot save to executable files.
Also, current buyers might want to note that this program uses DirectX 8.1, a thoroughly outdated version of Microsoft’s DirectX line. Thus, the graphics and sound quality you produce will not be as pristine as those from, say, DirectX 9.0 or 10.0.
One particular that nearly tricked me was the name that Amazon has given this product. For those of you who don’t know, The Game Makers (the company which makes DarkBASIC) manufacture another software product called The 3D Gamemaker. This is a drag-and-drop game creation environment that requires little to no programming. However, this product is not The 3D Gamemaker and will make you write code.
Fundamentally, this is an educational tool. If you want a simple and fun way to learn to program, this product is an excellent choice. However, if you are interested in creating standalone games, you need to either pay a bit more for a compiler or find a different language.
We may never know if we like this product as the Amazon box was empty when it arrived. We have had no help from amazon, compusa, nor the maker of this software after numerous emails and phone calls. This was my son’s Christmas present and he’s still waiting… at this rate we’ll end up with the opinion that we shouldn’t order software online…
