DarkBASIC Pro Newbie S.O.S

My first question is if there is anyone here who is fluient in DarkBASIC programming that can help me with learning it; or atleast heard of it. I have gone to many forums with people who don't fit either description. I bought DarkBASIC Pro and the Beginner's Guide to DarkBASIC Game Programming and was wondering if the source code written in DarkBASIC should work properly in DarkBASIC Professional? I wrote the Hello World program exactly as it has it in the book, but it doesn't work as it says it should. It's supposed to print hello world, pause print wait, what was that, pause print what, you want more, ask you to type in a number, once you've typed on in, print hello, again corresponding to the number you type. When I run it, all the statements print on the screen simultaneously and when I type in a number, nothing happens.

This may be off topic.

I find the idea of the words "Pro" and "Basic" combined to be very humorous hopefully you feel the same way. [smile]

Ehh, sort of. I think you can consider something professional when someone makes a sellable product with it. There have been a few, a very small few, number of commercial games made with DBC/DBP. But yes, I do see the irony in placking Pro onto the end of language which is intended for beginners.

CrimsondestinyX2:
Send an e-mail to jojotheflamingmonkey@yahoo.com with your e-mail address in it, and I'll send you some sample programs I wrote. I'm not sure if you'll be able to follow them, but I can walk you through them if neccesary.

Basic:
Those are some nice tutorials. Good job!
