Now more powerful, more advanced, and even more incredible than before.
The iMac’s display offers a 1920 x 1080-pixel resolution (for native 1080p high-definition viewing), and it uses IPS technology to deliver consistent color across an ultra wide 178 degree viewing angle. This 21.5-inch model (MC309LL/A) offers improved graphics with AMD Radeon HD 6750M discrete graphics featuring 512 MB of GDDR5 memory, a 500 GB hard drive, and 4 GB of installed RAM.

DarkBASIC 3D Games Creator [Old Version]
14 February
DarkBASIC 3D Games Creator [Old Version]
- Learn how the DirectX tools available in this easy programming language can make 3D objects come to life immediately!
- Create full-display screen with full MP2 and MP3 support by using the power of DirectX and Direct3D
- The simple, uncluttered workspace is user-friendly and features an integrated help system
- Extensive examples and tutorials will have you programming your own games in minutes!
DarkBASIC lets you create your own games demos and slide shows using the easy to understand BASIC programming language. Even people who have never coded before can generate results in minutes using the in-depth tutorials. By harnessing the power of Microsoft’s Direct X™ game engine pc users can make 3D objects come to life with just a few simple commands. DarkBASIC lets the user easily create a wide variety of games including sports racing RPG adventure simulation hand combat and shoot ‘em up. All games created are license and royalty free.System Requirements:IBM PC or 100% compatible computer Intel Pentium II 300 or higher processor Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP 64 MB RAM 450 MB hard disk space CD-ROM drive (4X or higher) Direct 3D compatible graphics card (with 8MB or above) Direct X compatible sound card Keyboard Direct X 7.0aFormat: WIN 9598ME2000XP Genre: PRODUCTIVITY Rating: UPC: 708828199998 Manufacturer No: 19999Easier to comprehend than some other game-programming packages out there, DarkBASIC offers both a fun tutorial and a powerful code editor. You can start programming right away in this offshoot of the BASIC language. First you will learn about the principles of programming, then advance onto media and 3-D topics with further study. The program makes it easy, and with a handful of impressive examples you can learn by doing on several short, fast programs.
The main editor area of the program is attractive, although it does remind us a bit of the role-playing games of the late 1980s. Our favorite perk was the Command Line Interface (CLI) button in the page header: this feature allows you to test single or small groups of commands without constructing an entire program. The online help system is multifaceted: it offers a “fast track” option for those with programming experience (or who are just impatient) as well as a more structured lesson plan.
The user manual is particularly friendly and witty in tone, and we appreciated the Further Tutorials pamphlet that accompanied the package. The initial tutorials cover basic program form, creating line objects, using color, and terraforming. The advanced tutorials examine everything from determining camera perspective to the use of fogs and backdrops, from explosions to bullets and monsters.
We first took DarkBASIC out for a spin with a simple text program, and then moved on to creating a simple 3-D game (unfortunately without conclusion). The package comes with a number of textures for floor, wall, and ceiling, as well as other objects like monsters, weapons, and the like. You’re not limited to using only these: DarkBASIC covers how to import your own images and assets for use in your program. This package handles five types of media files: images (as bitmap files), sound (as WAV files), music (as MIDI files), animation (as AVI files), and object models. For each of these, you may specify the correct editor, ensuring a strong connection and compatibility between DarkBASIC and your selected applications.
We were very impressed with the media browser and accompanying contents: in this gallery-style view, you can check out the goblins, samurais, game sounds, streaming music, textures, and game screens (like the “game over” screen). Our only issue with DarkBASIC was that there wasn’t a minimize option readily available, making it difficult to multitask with other projects we’re working on (yet easy to get engrossed in our dreams of 3-D game generation).
Overall, DarkBASIC ran very smoothly after install and left plenty of resources free for other applications to continue running. In the end, we recommend DarkBASIC to future (and present) game-programming gurus for ease of use, quality, and the overall fun factor. –Emilie HerbstDarkBASIC is a programming language that allows users to write games with the speed and power of DirectX and Direct3D. It provides beginners with an easy opportunity to learn how to program. The interface is designed to get you going immediately. Imagine your very first program running in less than five minutes.
The DarkBASIC interface is engineered to provide a simple and uncluttered workspace. All the options available to you are visible and are accessed with a single click. The help system uses familiar HTML layout for easy navigation and contains extensive examples and tutorials. Through DarkBASIC command sets, you tap into the DirectX architecture as though you where coding it yourself. DarkBASIC programs are compiled into optimized scripts.
Other features include: full-screen display modes, automated double buffering, AVI animation and MIDI music control, 3-D sound effects, and MP3 and MP2 support. Extensive examples and tutorials are provided to help get you programming quickly.

It combines powerful word processing with professional script formatting in one self-contained, easy-to-use package. There is no need to learn about script formatting rules–Final Draft automatically paginates and formats your script to industry standards as you write.
Its ease-of-use and time-saving features have attracted writers for almost two decades positioning Final Draft as the Professional Screenwriters Choice. Final Draft power users include Academy, Emmy and BAFTA award winning writers like Oliver Stone, Tom Hanks, Alan Ball, J.J. Abrams, James Cameron and more.

Story Development Features
Scene View Scene Navigator Scene Properties Inspector (SPI) Index Cards File Format (now XML)
With the Scene View you can look at your script from a 5,000 foot view and select, drag and drop one or more scenes to reorganize your ideas as you outline. Insert new scenes easily, and hide or show information important to you such as the scene’s action, title and summary. Scene View also displays a scene’s color so you can quickly identify one scene from another. Print your Scene View or just view it alongside the script. With a double-click you can sync the script to instantly go to any scene you’ve selected in Scene View.
Manage the pace and flow of your story and keep track of up to 9 categories of information related to your scenes. The Scene Navigator is a sortable, customizable floating palette that displays details about your script such as a scene’s title, color, page number, length and location, and best of all it syncs with the script with a single-click. As your script progresses you can pick and choose the columns of information that are relevant for that phase of writing.
Track data specific to each scene in this new floating palette such as the scene’s story beats that will eventually make up the Action, Characters and Dialog of the scene. Add and edit your scene’s title such as ‘Villain introduced’, and add color to the scene to help you track things like storylines, character arcs, and material you need to get back to later. Like the Navigator, the SPI will display the details of whatever scene you’re working on in your script so that you have your summary notes handy as you need them.
This improved feature has double-sided cards that display the script’s scene on one side and the summary on the other. The Summary View allows you to enter ideas directly into the index card such as your basic outline, notes, sequence or act markers, comments, locations, blocking… anything you need to build and organize your story. You can also color your Index Cards to help organize themes, character arcs, A and B stories, etc. Select and rearrange multiple cards at once if you need to re-order your scenes or print your Index Cards directly on 3×5 or 4×6 cards for use in the ‘traditional’ way if you want to visualize and organize scenes outside of the application. Double-clicking on a card in Split Panel View will automatically sync the scene selected with your script.
Final Draft version 8, has a new file format that we have shared with a number of technology partners to make the writer’s overall experience better. Now you can save to the new Final Draf’t file format in a variety of products. Your information can then be opened directly in Final Draft with perfect format and structure. No more reformatting in Final Draft and no more re-typing or lost information!

Writing/Rewriting Features
The Panels System Templates Page Count Management
Like most writers, you probably need to keep a lot of ideas at the front of your mind while you’re writing. With the Panels System, you can split your screen into separate panels and view your script pages in one panel while you view another section of the script, your Index Cards or Scene View in the other panel. With the Panels System you can compare two scenes’ dialog and pacing side by side even though they may be separated by a vast number of pages. If you want an overview of each scene, use the Index Cards or Scene View on one side and the script in the other. A double-click in any scene will keep the panels in sync.
Television show, screenplay, stage play and graphic novel templates are included to help get you started. Looking for an old series no longer on the air? The Final Draft Online Template Library is updated regularly and allows registered users to download additional templates directly from finaldraft.com.
Our new Leading Style in version 8 allows you to adjust the spacing of the entire script or you can select individual sections of text and adjust their spacing to help manage your page count
Built-in Spell-Checking and Thesaurus Remember Workspace Final Draft Courier Font Printing and PDF Options Writing Management ScriptNotes Tab and Enter functions ScriptCompare Text to Speech CollaboWriter Format Assistant 100% Cross-Platform Script Registry
The vastly improved spell-checking engine comes with English (US) and a built-in thesaurus plus the option to install one of 15 additional language spell-checkers and thesauri. The application provides real time auto-spell check, catches capitalization errors and will assist you in finding synonyms. With definitions for 80,000 plus words from Merriam-Webster and a full thesaurus, you have all the tools at your fingertips. In addition, all the words you added to your user dictionary from version 7 will automatically populate your user dictionary when you install version 8.
It’s important if you are working among multiple drafts to make sure that you are editing the correct one. With the new Workspace preference, you can have Final Draft open all the files you had open, in the order you were working on them, the last time you worked in Final Draft.
Having a consistent page count that production companies and studios can depend on to help them estimate their budgets is crucial when working on a script. That’s why Final Draft offers its own font that will ensure proper pagination on both Windows and Macintosh. With version 8 we have made the font easier on the eye so you can better endure when you’re writing for long periods of time.
Now, not only can you print your script in its entirety, you can choose which sets of revisions you want to print and you can print other views such as the Scene View and Index Cards. We’ve added the ability for you to print directly on 3×4 or 4×6 index cards and print your script directly to PDF so you can decide whether to send a full script or subset of pages to someone via PDF. The Title Page is also conveniently available as an option to include in your PDF or printed output.
Use the Statistics Report to check how much content you’ve completed in a writing session to help you manage your writing goals. You can also track things such as your ratio of Action to Dialog and whether there may be some unnecessary profanity in your script if you’re attempting to ‘clean it up.’
These effective pop-up windows hold your ideas, suggestions or scene fragments that you’ve cut but don’t want to toss without taking up space onscreen. Use ScriptNotes to provide feedback on a particular scene when reviewing your partner’s script or print your ScriptNotes as a report for easy reference when reviewing your script.
You can install and start using Final Draft within minutes due to the easy-to-use Tab and Enter functionality that helps format all of the various types of script elements to Industry Standards.
Compare two drafts of the same script (.fdr or .fdx) and Final Draft will highlight any changes, allowing you to easily see the differences from one file to the next.
Have your script read back to you by assigning different male and female voices to each of your characters. You can even assign a narrator for action and other non-dialog script elements. Powered by the text-to-speech engines built-in to Windows and Mac OS — it’s like having a live script reading in your computer.
Write, edit and discuss a script with other Final Draft users in real time, over the internet, anywhere in the world. You can transfer ‘control’ back and forth between individuals so that one person makes changes at a time, ensuring that information isn’t lost during rewrites.
This useful tool checks your script for common formatting errors, such as missing dialogue, extra spaces, carriage returns and blank elements. You can set it to run every time you print or only when you want it to.
Final Draft scripts are identical on both Windows and Macintosh platforms and can easily be exchanged between both.
Final Draft is a preferred file format and the only scriptwriting software with an authorized agreement with the WGAW online registry service.
Production Features
Final Draft Tagger 2 Revisions/Page Locking Title Page, Cast Pages and Locations Pages Customizable Reporting
This updated stand-alone application reads any Final Draft script and enables you to “tag” elements within the script [cast, costumes, props, etc.] and export the results into most scheduling applications. Tagger allows you to select text from the script and add any element with a click of the mouse in any category for that scene–or for any or all scenes where that element appears. The element text is highlighted and color coded, and can be customized to suit the way you like to work. Created with the help of veteran Assistant Directors, Producers and Unit Production Managers, Tagger means no more going over a paper script again and again with highlighters.
From the ability to omit scenes, lock pages and A-pages as well as set your revision colors, version 8 provides you all the tools you’ll need to take your script through production. With version 8, we’ve created a new feature that will automatically track the page header’s revision color so you can issue one set of revisions or all of them as needed. Merging pages that have been cut once a script is locked is also a snap. With new how-to tutorials, you have step-by-step instructions on how to merge pages without affecting your overall page count. Final Draft also includes standard revision colors in each film and television template.
All of the Final Draft Television Templates come pre-set with easy-to-use information for each series such as the specific cast list and typical sets/locations. Our Standard One-Hour and Half-Hour Templates will also help you get started on pilots by providing what information should appear in the finished product. The added bonus is that the Title Page uses its own numbering for tracking the following pages so it won’t add to your overall page count.
Final Draft offers seven different reports to give you quick facts about your script. The Scene Report, for example, provides a snapshot of the scene’s length, cast, starting page number and location. The Location Report will inform you how often a location is used and will group the scenes by INT/EXT. The Character Report includes an ‘appearance summary’ so you know how frequently one character speaks, versus the other characters, as well as the total word count for the character. Use the ScriptNotes Report to get a quick scan of all the notes in your script based on each scene and page. The Statistics Report will allow you to track daily writing goals by displaying how many words you’ve written along with details on the types of elements you used and what percentage of the script they make up. Need to cast your characters? You can instantly create then print or email Character Sides for any speaking parts in your script.
