Did they just come out with DarkBASIC 1337 edition with a 'create best hockey game ever' button built right into it?

I think it has some checkboxes that pop right up:

_ Better then EA Sports
_ Better then all hockey games.
_ Better Graphics
_ More features
_ Smoother Gameplay

You just click those boxes, and voila.. all done!

i hear there's a plugin that tests your game auto generates content for it & then auto mails it to publishers & self publish it if it doens't get any mail back for 24 hour with auto price adjusting depending on demand too & all that for only 9.99!

I think it's also important to mention the auto-licensing feature, that automatically writes contracts to each player in the NHL, and sends itself to every player's agent.

He's either playing around or just harvesting e-mail addresses (THERE I SAID IT!!!). Why not humor him for a while?

AOL punched doogle in the face today.

The weird way he makes sentences. Makes me really believe that he is a troll. It's just too. Typical.

Or maybe he's just an idiot?
He sure is annoying with his 15,000 ideas though...

If DarkBASIC Pro is a professional video game making program...

It isn't. That's just marketing hype.

Dark BASIC Pro is a nice prototyping environment, but it lacks the third-party and other support necessary to create AAA titles.

By the way, I am working on a hockey game, thanks to you (I'll publish the source and tools when I'm done). And I don't even play hockey! [Edit: Addendum - I don't even like hockey!] I started it the other night so I could show you some of what goes into making a game, and help you decide on a realistic approach to making your dream a reality. For instance, I'm abstracting a lot of the infrastructure of the game for reuse in a football (soccer) and tennis game, respectively. I'm calling that Generation 1. After that, I'll move to a hybrid 3D implementation to be called Generation 2, and then a full-blown 3D environment which I will call Generation 3D.

If you weren't so quick to dismiss everyone who disagrees with you (despite the fact that they know more about making games than you do), you could probably learn enough to have an honest shot at making this game. Until that changes, however, you'll continue flitting from one "RAD" tool to another, with no actual results.

It's all rather tragic, actually.

Do you recommend I purchase the DarkBASIC Pro software, and DarkBASIC Beginners Programming Guide? And if not then what are the best program and how to book to buy?
