Dark Basic review [Posted on 2007-09-26]
This book is awesome gives good amount of information and examples how to program computer games
Great 2D book [Posted on 2007-12-05]
This was a great book for starting game programming with Dark Basic Pro. I use this book all of the time when I am writing games. My only complaint is the 3D stuff. it seems a little rushed and I didn't see anything about 3d collision detection. I am not confident you could create a 3D game using this book exclusively. I would love to see a second volume to this book that was just 3D programming. However Hands On DarkBasic Pro - Volume 2 does just that so if your library included these two books I think you'd be set.
Book is ok, [Posted on 2008-01-14]
Read all the above review and I personally don't think they gone through the book page by page. I notice the lack of information on blocks of code and why the code does what it does. Make it really hard to try to follow along.
Aside from those points, I'm not planning to follow through the codes anymore, just waste of time. Just going to read the tips which are helpful and also the way of approaching things he gives good insight.
Very good, easy to read [Posted on 2008-06-04]
Very thorough yet easy to read and comprehend. The author is definately a software engineer (apparent in his frequent spelling and gramatical errors) but nevertheless clear and concise. The examples have a few errors, mostly spelling errors in the code, but are well designed and generally show the current concept clearly. Reading this book while you work out the examples is kind of like having an extreemely enthusiastic best friend leaning over your shoulder teaching you the material.
