The Basics

DarkBASIC uses DirectX to deliver the kind of games you expect from today's PCs, including full-screen 3D games! After installing DarkBASIC you will be introduced to the language, and given the opportunity to follow a quick-start tutorial.

The quick-start tutorial should only take around 5 minutes and is time well spent. To help you along, and to save you the chore of typing out lines of code, our game making tutorial will be arranged into pre-written chunks that you will add to as we go along. To make things easier, markers will be used to indicate where additional code should be placed.

You will find yourself bouncing between the help system tutorial and your program. Rather than go through the help menu each time, you can easily switch back and forth between the help and editor by using the F11 Key.
