Dark Basic Pro Free

Dark Basic Pro - DarkBASIC Professional is the most advanced games development package built on the BASIC language

NVIDIA and ATI's powerful new graphics cards have inspired us to support both Pixel and Vertex shaders. You have full and direct control of these awesome hardware effects from within DarkBASIC Professional. Pixel Shaders are used to alter lighting and surface effects that replace artificial, computerized looks with materials and surfaces that mimic reality. Vertex Shaders are used to breathe life and personality into characters and environments. For example, through vertex shading you can create true-to-life dimples or wrinkles that appear when a character smiles or you can ripple shockwaves through a land matrix.

All games created with DarkBASIC Professional are License and Royalty free.
All games can be distributed as a stand alone executable.
