Thats odd, as Ive seen full on 3d FPS games made with DBPro. Sure, not the most graphically amazing stuff, but decent stuff can be done. The beauty is that you'll find achievement in programming quickly, much easier learning curve than Java or C. Perhaps you didn't have the right resources?

@Starcraft- the other side you can get into is LUA, which is a scripting language, one that is widely used in game programming/development these days. Last I checked, LUA is free to use.

Edit - btw, if you wanted to get into mobile programming, might as well learn programming for iPhones. The whole mobile industry is conforming to that as THE mobile platform.

 

I gree that DBPro is a quick tool to make games rather easily, but soon you will come to see many of it's limitation when you want to advance furter into game development.

FPS and Racing games are easy to develop in the gereric form of development (if not useing FPD creator), but when you want to advance in programming you will need other tools or even make your own Dlls to get it to work right which in the end can be a terrible mess. that could easily be avoided with DarkGDK.

Besides I consider that knowing from the start about classes and oop (that DBpro does not have and will never) is crutial for effective game development
