BASIC; the simplest and easiest of all programming languages allows totally inexperienced indivduals to get to grips with the fundamentals of programming without becoming frustrated. Yet professional coders will find a language so powerful, so flexible that the results will leave their jaws firmly on the floor! This program is a confidence booster for the inexperienced and eliminator of restrictions for the programmer who can utilise DARKBASIC to singularly create an entire game.

DarkBASIC gives you the creative freedom to develop state of the art games without having the encompassing knowledge of a trained programmer nor the understanding of complex computer languages such as C++ or assembly. DarkBASIC's built in debugging facility further reduces reliance on programming experience.

It is very common that a single command can bring an entire program to a frustrating halt. DarkBASIC however, provide a unique built in feature called CLI (Command Line Interface) allowing the user to type out a single command and run instantly - the results of which are displayed on screen saving valuable coding time and maintaining the flow of creativity.

Comparing the results of DarkBASIC to commercially released titles might seem a bit risky and some would even go as far as suggesting it to be just excessive hype. Well, go and take a look for yourselves, as there are many titles currently in production that will both shock and impress. DarkBASIC is nothing less than a revolution in games development.
