Dark GDK and Dark GDK .NET
Dark GDK is a software development kit for C++. It implements most of the commands available in DBPro as well as give the user lower level access to the API. Currently Microsoft Visual Studio 6 and Visual Studio .NET 2003 are supported but The Game Creators have stated that they are planning to support Dev-C++ in future versions, although they have not yet extended support to Dev-C++, and the plans may be dropped now that Visual C++ 2005 is supported.. Dark GDK's API is very similar to that of DarkBASIC Professional, such that code can be very easily ported between C++ code utilising Dark GDK and DarkBASIC Professional code.
The Dark GDK is now also available with Visual C++ 2008 Express. Dark GDK is free for personal use, however you must purchase a license if you plan on selling a game made with Dark GDK.
Dark GDK .NET was created for the same purpose, except it allows the user to create games using Visual C# .NET or Visual Basic .NET. Unlike Dark GDK, Dark GDK .NET is only available commercially and has no free version.

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or net:
“O Rose, thou art sick!
The invisible worm
That flies in the night,
In the howling storm,
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.”
