--- Quote from: DickTurpin on July 13, 2013, 07:57:18 am --- C++ C and Lua for scripting. It puzzles me why it matters to you? as that was not the topic. --- End quote --- No the point of the topic was that you were googling for a frontend and found the frontend you are working on yourself ??? and pretended that was a surprise. I think you are trying to create interest in your frontend which is a good thing and I was wondering about the technical side of the frontend. Other people may be more interested in the functional side of things. --- Quote from: DickTurpin ---I don't need to justify my methods to you or anyone else. --- End quote --- No, you don't, but if someone is interested you could just answer the question in a more tactfull way. --- Quote from: DickTurpin ---I do not understand anyone being all snooty about the language or platform someone is using --- End quote --- Again, just showing interest. Maybe you should check out some of the projects I'm working on before jumping to conclusions... |

Some of the tools I use cost hundreds and in some cases thousands of pounds. I wanted everyone to have an opportunity to take part --- End quote --- I like to use Python for dev wherever possible, it's free, popular, cross-platform and very accessible. Can't remember the last time I paid for development tools. I like to steer clear of MS, if I can, but that is personal preference. Never heard of Dark Basic Pro but I've been a fan of Basic language in the past, from the days of BBC Basic and Sinclair Basic. Dark Basic Pro is free to download but appears to be supported by advertisements so would need to pay up $ to remove them and $ to gain access to some of the game development libraries. |

Lots of people have used it so the obscure threw me. --- Quote from: degenatrons on July 13, 2013, 10:04:24 am --- --- Quote from: DickTurpin on July 12, 2013, 02:52:51 pm ---Actually I could have done the tutorial in a host of languages.

Somewhere between C and Basic. Its an advanced basic for sure. Some people have written (granted not commerical standard) FPS games in it and it has Direct X9 support built in. Which is remarkable that they kept the syntax so straight and similar to basic --- End quote --- |

Also degenatrons its ad free. Once you register with you click a link and then get your code. Unlock it with the code and that's it no ads whatsoever. Just code away. Python is something I always wanted to get stuck into and have a go at when I had a chance. Not had that chance yet but I still want to. :cheers: |
