RE By - Dbtutor

I drew that myself, it's just a very horrible drawing I did of an outline for the text adventure game in one of the lessons. I don't care whoever uses this image, and it's good where it's too photobucket lets you upload images for free.

General Diccussion & Update Information
Please keep comments constructive and polite

"I mean this in the nicest possible way, but I don't think u know enough about programming to be writing something like this dude?" - =PRoF=

I'm sorry you feel this way but I believe I have enought knowledge of DarkBASIC to write a book on it which I'm doing, I want to share my knowledge, if you think I'm doing things wrong share some of your knowledge in the book by all means. I am relatively new to programming but not to DarkBASIC. Thanks, however for your pleasant compliant that was not meant to offend me. - Jonathan/Dbtutor

Hey guys, I'm working on the book again, it will be done by July I promise!!! - Jonathan

Unfornately, due to alot of stuff I want to get done and my own quest to learn more then just about DarkBASIC, the book probably won't be done this summer, I will work on it when I get the time but for now it won't be done for awhile.

-Jonathan

Hey DarkBASIC fans, update coming soon I'm hard at work on the Space Invader clone! Hope you've all been having a great summer.

- Jonathan

Does it matter what kind of DarkBASIC I'm using?

RE: Probably not at this point in time, however I used DarkBASIC Classic in this book.

I think you made an error in Lesson 8 - 2d Game Programming Pt 2, where the first piece of code is.

Grammar
Hi - thanks for the DB tutorials.

A bit of constructive criticism - get a friend to proof read your text as there are a lot of grammatical mistakes.

Cheers

Richard C

RE: Yes I have a big problem with grammar! Point taken. :)

Note
Update: I definately will not finish the book. School is very demmanding, and I no longer use Windows. If anyone wants to take up the task and finish writing the book I would be very happy. Please continue to edit and contribute to this book hopefully it's helped many.

I don't think I can finish this book. I'm too busy with school, and learning more about programming. Please, if you think you can finish it for me. I will sometimes add to this book but only in small amounts.

Sorry, Jonathan/Dbtutor

great stuff!

please continue!

i know a lot of people read this and i need more info too.
