I tried DarkBasic years ago as well, I was into Bryce, C4D, taking a bunch of A/V classes, and learning to program at the time. I was in major overload. I ended up buying a few a of their tools, the pro version, etc (which were mostly made in DarkBasic as well, aka eat you own dog food). But I haven't touched it in years...

But since seeing this post I looked at the DarkBasic website and it appears they are also OpenSourcing their Pro version as well.
