DarkBASIC Professional
DarkBASIC Professional is a powerful BASIC dialect targetted specifically at 2D and 3D game development. It is available commercially from software company The Game Creators and is an offshoot of their original DarkBASIC programming language.
"DBPro" uses DirectX 8–9c for most of its functionality unlike the original DarkBASIC which used DirectX 7. Other additions include better support for multiplayer, BSP level support, bump/sphere/light mapping, pixel/vertex shaders, better interfaces to external DLLs, advanced sprite commands using 3D to render them quickly in 2D, and built-in queue/stack manipulation.
DarkBASIC Pro also allows the use of multiple camera viewpoints, and uses machine level compilation to become faster than DarkBASIC.
