 Words cannot describe how awful this software is. , 2008-05-27
Slow.
Innefficient.
Weak.
Lame.
Just a few of the words I can use to describe the completely evil, horrible software people call darkBASIC Professional.
I am going to describe how awful this stuff is. The main problem is really the incredibly slow, innefficient code that is encumbered by the BASIC language. The included tutorials are so cryptic that it would take someone who already knows how to program (me) to understand it. Not only does it delude people into thinking that they know how to program graphics when they really can't, but it also skips over the "hard parts" of programming, thus making it impossible to use pointers.
It also makes implementing graphics considerably harder. With Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition(free), you can import you're graphics fairly easily using the included directX tools, or simply code it out yourself.
This software makes it impossible to do the latter. Its irritating, frustrating debugger doesn't catch any of the bugs for you, like a good c++ compiler (CodeBlocks...Free) will.
I hate this software, get a free compiler, and man up to learn C++
