SOTB parallax scrolling demo for DarkBasic Pro
« on: April 05, 2003, 02:03:27 PM »
At the following link, you can find a DarkBasic Professional demonstration of the parallax scrolling technique used in the classic Amiga game Shadow of the Beast. This effect is achieved with not much more than a few "paste image" commands and shows the speed of DBPro in action.

1.6 MB for the exe and data files + dll

Winbloat! ;-)

How old is SOTB 14/15 years?

Geez guy, get a flipping grip.  It's in BASIC, not assembler or C like the original.  I would consider it more interesting to note that a BASIC compiler on the PC can now rival the classic Amiga as long as you shovel CPU at it.

Bloated maybe, but I wouldn't necessarily blame it on Windows. If they made DarkBasic for Linux or Mac OS X would that 1.6 MB be any less? I doubt it...
