Introduction 

DarkMachine v012005, is a Scripting Engine based on Mark Sibly's - Blitz Compiler Code. DarkMachine is a case insensitive, virtually typeless scripting language with a BASIC syntax similar to DBPro. Although its syntax is similar to DBPro, there are several differences. Glance through this Reference to get familar with the langauge.

To help you get started there is a simple demo.bb provided. The purpose of the demo is to demonstrate how to initialize, update, and shutdown DarkMachine. When you load and run the demo, DarkMachine Preference Scripts (dmcvm_Prefs.dmc) are loaded and executed. Second, the Scripting Engine loads the main.dm script. This is the first Application script loaded and its executed only once. It serves the purpose of declaring variables, arrays, functions(to be implemented) and loading other scripts.

DBPro v1.87+ is required to compile and use the DarkMachine Engine and Tools.
