초심자를 위한 가이드북 DBPro Guide

MEGAMIX — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 18:51:40 +0900

우연히 발견하게 된 DarkBASIC Pro 가이드북입니다.

저자는 Nickydude 라는 사람인데 가이드북에 대한 질문을 이메일로 보내봐야 바로 지워버릴꺼라고 하는군요.

(귀찮게 하지 말아달라는 뜻인듯 싶습니다)

초급정도의 내용을 담고 예제도 볼만하니 입문용으로 한번쯤 읽어보는것도 좋을듯 합니다.

멀티플레이 플러그인 DarkNet

MEGAMIX — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 18:56:55 +0900

몇몇 무료 멀티플레이 플러그인이 있긴 했습니다만...이번에 제대로된 상용 멀티플레이 플러그인이 발표되었습니다.

DarkBASIC Pro 뿐만아니라 다양한 언어를 지원하는것이 특징이며
C++ and .NET compatible languages (e.g. C#, VB.NET).

높은 퍼포먼스를 자랑한다고 합니다. ( 초당 수천개의 패킷 처리, 멀티쓰레드 )

비교적 쉬운 사용법에, 패킷 암호화, 해독을 지원하고, 중계서버, NAT 호환성 지원등...앞으로 이를 활용한 멀티플레이
게임들이 많이 개발되겠군요...

가격은 19.99$ 이며 DarkBASIC Pro 7.3 이상을 필요로 합니다.

Public Test - Upgrade 7.3

MEGAMIX — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 18:43:10 +0900

새로운 버전의( 7.3 ) 테스트가 진행되었습니다.

이번 버전의 가장 큰 특징은 드디어 내장 에디터의 개선이 이루어진듯 합니다.
그리고 멀티 플레이 플러그인(DarkNet) 을 지원하는군요.

아직 설치해서 사용해 보질 않아 모르겠지만 많은 부분들이 기능추가 개선된것 같습니다.

추가 1. 설치해보니 새로운 인터페이스가 깔끔하고 한글도 문제없이 적용됩니다. 스크린샷을 보시기 바랍니다.

TGC도 개발했다 - 물방울 터트리기 iBlow

MEGAMIX — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 10:40:40 +0900

The Game Creators 에서 App Store 에 데뷔를 하는군요. 확실히 수익성이 높은 마켓인가 봅니다.

다크베이직과는 상관이 없지만, 이런걸 내놓은것을 보면 혹시 관련 개발 솔루션을 준비하고 있는지도 모른다는 생각을.....
(확률이 거의 없겠죠)

스크린샷을 보겠습니다.

게임이라고 하기에도 뭐한 이 어플은 다양한 물방울을 올려보내 손가락으로 터치해 터트립니다.
준비된 다양한 배경화면을 바꿀수도 있으며, 아이폰의 카메라로 촬영된 이미지를 활용해 비누방울 모양을 바꿀수도 있습니다.

음성채팅 솔루션 Green-Ear

MEGAMIX — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 14:49:38 +0900

다크베이직 프로페셔널에 통합된 음성, 텍스트 채팅, 보이스 몰핑, 개별채널 기능을 제공하는 음성채팅 솔루션이 발표되었습니다.
기능은 여러가지가 있네요...MMORPG의 파티에서 그룹원들 끼리의 음성채팅 기능을 지원한다면 재미있을것 같습니다.

다크베이직에서는 바로 붙여 테스트 해 볼 수 있도록 공개된 개발킷을 제공합니다.
구현 코드도 비교적 간단한것으로 봐서는 쉽게 적용 가능할것 같습니다.
