where can i get fps

[wulfy88]

@jonasohanu Sorry for not getting back to you in time. I was busy. What do you mean by "Where can I get fps"?

[ghostrag]

Just wondering does Darkbasic web site sell or let you watch video's on learning how to make programs there so much easier just watching & listening when I went there the web site had so much crud there I didn't take the time to read everything there?

[wulfy88]

They dont have videos on how to make programs and they have very little Tutorials there but if you go to the Code base or something like that you can find Lots of things there that other people make. What I did to learn was to read the Documents and just play with the code.

[hamthemad]

wait so you learned this by yourslef and out the curiosity you got them right

@ghostrag

I dont think so (there might be something i have missed) but there are a youtuber that make movies on how to make programs and games. his screen name is dcforemanuk. He make realy good tuts, I use them all the time :)

[Hexkute]

hey i got a question, how do you activate fps?

[PWEB07]

HELP! ive just started DBP with no experience at all and basically im on the lesson 1 of using the language, it tells me to type:

PRINT "HELLO WORLD"

WAIT KEY

and then to make exe/ run, but it doesnt, instead it says to me could not create C:\Program Files\Dark Basic Software\ Dark Basic Professional\Temp\ Dbp_program.exe

can anyone help please how do i stop this? i can do it by running in debug mode but im pretty sure i will need to use this "run" thing later aswell, thanks.

[wulfy88]

I think your problem is that your OS has some restrictions and is not letting DBpro make the EXE in the Program Files/...Folder. Either you have to run the Compiler as Admin or make a Project and change the destination to Document or something like that. also make sure that your copy of DBpro is not an Illegal copy (meaning you downloaded it from the internet and cracked it) because those dont work correctly.

[PWEB07]

ahh so how much is real thing?

[wulfy88]

The lowest cost is around 69 US Dollars it was more when I bought it I think. you have to have a credit card. (dont worry they dont steal from u). go to TheGameCreators(dot)com you can download a Trial version before you buy. just make sure you will actually use it, so you dont waste ur money.

[PWEB07]

i will be using it, im on a 2 year graphic course at college, then off to uni to do game design so im gonna learn now :) ill try the tial now thanks.

sync on : sync rate 90

color backdrop 0 : hide mouse

print "Helloworld."

wait key

do

sync

loop

end

[theobserver5000]

then goto file save as or save all

P.S You can use color backdrop 0 or backdrop off or on. :)

i am rly tly good at vb so this makes alotta sense, just a few new commands

[johnyouis]

im already finished with next video but i got an era mesage for line 9- center text screen width()/2, 200, mnuitems$(0)

somthing about the parameter for center text do not xy string at line 9

[wulfy88]

Make sure that mnuitems$(0) Exists and it has a String value.

it should be in the mnuVars lable and you have to call it with gosub before the main loop

[johnyouis]

thanks

[linkofpersia]

Wow, this programing codes are hard, can somebody explain me what the Hell its do and loop comands?

[wulfy88]

The do loop commands just loops (repeats) the code inside of it endlessly.

These tutorials are made for ppl with basic knowledge of statements.

[20thmember]

hard!! how do u learn that!!!!????

[wulfy88]

If you are asking me how did I lern things. The simple answer is

PRACTICE, DRILL, and REHEARSE.

I have been programming for about 3 years now. Not so much in BASIC, but in C#, and C++.

Learn from others and Practice, dont just copy and forget about it. Take the time to learn it.

At 1st it seems wierd and comfusing but with time itll become 2nd nature to you.

do it every day.

and try to comeup with your own methods or implement on Others.

[PCGamingProductions]

oh,....its cuz i had a space between end and if.....but now my new problem is, i try running it, it builds but nothnig shows up...NOTHING....and then i just go back to my DBPRO...

[PCGamingProductions]

Dude please help me
