Good call. I've dabbled with DarkBasic and FPS Creator in the past. They are both excellent products. Certainly for learning the basics (no pun intended), DarkBasic is an excellent choice.
the last thing I want to see is some pasty-faced geek with skin so pale that it's almost translucent trying to bump parts with a partner - John Simmons / outlaw programmer

Code-Frog:So if this is Pumpkinhead. Time for him to run and hide. It's an interesting thought really.
We have a go at him but please, give him credit for this.

use a pen and paper; it's 2d enough. seriously, do you have a game idea ? what this game will be ? how it's going to be played ? the rules ? the elements ? how many players ? how the computer will play if you have to play against it ? even if it's a highly graphical game, try drawing a storyboard of the game, that depicts how the game will be played. other than that, GDI might be enough.

which in the end, does not make him harmful, per se (depends on what he does with it more than talk about it). But it does not win him many friends.

Brad!!!!!! :-D:-D:-D. Our firewall is not blocking anything now. I just tested it with a p*rn. :laugh: lol. But seriouly it's letting me go anywhere. Yesterday my boss gave me an URL to read a document. The link got blocked so I complained about that to him. After sometime he sent a mail like "Try it now". That's it. Now I'm trying every other site! :laugh: :jig: :badger:
