    They use John Carmack.

    Darkbasic looks cool, but is there anything of this sort for c++, just curious?

    What are you TALKING about? DarkBasic isn't a BASIC add-on...it's a programming language unto itself. A cruddy one at that...

    Yes, I was joking in my first post.

    Very funny. VERY funny!

    Why is it that the most powerful games are written in C/C++ sometimes with a smattering of assembly-- real works of talent, art, and quasi-science-- and sell for about $50 each; But some TRUE PIECE OF [scatalogical reference here censored by CARNIVORE] that was written in JAVA by brain-dead monkeys at Lucent, Avaya, Agilent, Nortel, or others, costs a telecom company $4 million per copy!!!?!????

    Just [sexual reference here censored by CARNIVORE] nonsense!!!

    Uh? Because C/C++ is both fast and powerful as opposed to some other languages?

    There are actually programs that sell for $4 million per copy?

    But anywho, a $50 game made by 'Id' will sell 2 million coppies. A
    progam made by a brain-dead monkey probably won't sell more
    than 10. They need to charge more in order to make their money
    back...

    that's the funniest thing i've heard since 1:02 PM ESDT today.

    real programmers use real vacuum tubes to make real games...real.

    I don't know anything about about ColoredBasic but as far as I know all PC games are created on C++ using either OpenGL library (Quake) or DirectX stuff.
    C++ rulez!!!
