When the US collides with the World!

Has anyone had any experience with Dark GDK yet? (http://www.microsoft.com/express/samples/GameCreators/) I just found out about it a month or so ago while I was downloading the beta for VS2008. Apparently they struck some sort of deal with Microsoft and it's free to download with VS. I've been messing around with it to make something I can show off to employers since I'll be applying for jobs in the upcoming months, and it seems decent. I can't for the life of me find decent documentation on it other than it's help file, which is adequate I suppose. I've gone from getting completely lost using DirectX, to making a few things in OpenGL, to this, so it's definitely easier to get a grasp of.

Its a fairly good tool. Try looking for Documentation on "Dark Basic Pro" online as it shares the same names for feature sets. Its a good Rad tool, and sufficiently fast. I used to it map out an Ogre game in several days.

It also supports just as much as the major competition, overall It is very well made.
