DarkBASIC 3-D Game Creator Kit gives you the chance to create a rival if you're hooked on Quake III, Gran Turismo or Star Wars and can't wait for the next instalment to come out. If you're an experienced programmer then you will be making games in a matter of minutes, but don't worry if you're not: this utility will guide even novices through the basics of game making, allowing you to have fun creating while expanding your knowledge.Its simple-to-use interface allows you to go from command-line programming to game-play testing in one easy function-key press. The 25 in-programme tutorials guide you through all the different elements of the programme, using 45 demos to show you line by line how to make your creation. You will be playing your own first-person shooter or flight simulator in a matter of hours.
The package includes many features to make your games even better, such as the ability to add music and import your own graphics for use within games. Included within the DarkBASIC package is Microsoft's Direct X: this powerful utility handles all the hardware in your PC, such as the graphics card and sound card, allowing you more time to concentrate on creating the game. Also included are tools for making music and animating graphics, so everything that you need to get going is here on the two-disk set.
There are more than 45 demos included on the disk so you can see how some working programmes operate. Also included are 600 textures, 120 sound effects and 900 3-D models to bring your games to life. Games can be saved as single, executable files so you don't need DarkBASIC to run them, allowing you to share them with your friends and give the professionals a good run for their money. --Robert Hyde

Visual C++.net is the most flexible of Microsoft's languages. The compiler primarily targets native code Windows executables, but a switch also enables compilation to MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language). This managed code runs under the .Net Framework's Common Language Runtime, with full access to the Framework's class library. Developers can include both managed and unmanaged code in the same project: the compiler does the necessary internal translation automatically. This feature is particularly valuable for those with existing applications that cannot be ported all at once to the .Net platform. The Visual C++.net product consists of an IDE (integrated development environment), class libraries, compiler and tools. The compiler in the Standard edition is non-optimising, so professional developers may prefer Visual Studio.Net Professional or higher. The key libraries are the MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes), which wrap the Windows API, and the ATL (Active Template Library), for efficient development of COM or ActiveX components. In addition, the bundled.Net Framework SDK has command-line compilers for Visual Basic, JScript and Visual C#, and you can also compile C# from the IDE. Despite its managed extensions, Visual C++.net does not support the Windows form designer or the Web form designer, although there is a visual dialog editor for native Windows applications. The two big changes in Visual C++.net, when compared to Visual C++.net 6.0, are support for the.Net Framework and a brand new IDE. There are minor updates to MFC and ATL, and the ability to do COM programming using attributes is a strong feature. The Standard C++.net library is updated in this version, with improved standards compliance for those building portable applications, although it is still not the best in this respect. On the other hand, it excels as a tool for building Windows applications and components, where its huge flexibility compensates for the lack of a visual form designer. The Visual C++.net IDE is outstanding, although you need to double the minimum system requirements for good performance, and note that it does not run on Windows 98 or Me. Online help is now fully integrated into the main workspace, wizards have been streamlined, and the XML designer will be useful even to those not working with the.Net Framework.--Tim Anderson
