Off topic:

Where should i learn DOS Batch programming?
Might also be good to include a link on reading what DOS, and Batch REALLY is.


Thanks in advice.

Pretty good website if you want to learn the basics and such.

Batch isn't a programming language... it's a scripting language, of sorts. Basically, each line represents something that you could type into the command line, but it'll will run a batch of commands at once.

http://www.ss64.com/nt/ is all you should need... to get started, all you really need is a reference.

I know Batch programming now, in a basic way, and i know this next question might make you think go C++ or something.
But are there any SDK, Lib's avaiable for Graphical Batch programming? To make like Mario games, or just a Graphical User Interface.
It's just for fun purpose i wanna do it

- Thanks in regards.

Nope. Batch isn't a programming language, it's merely a scripting language.

Used for calling programs and stuff. Nothing more. All you can do in batch is stuff you can do in cmd.

If you want to get into software/games, learn a programming languge. Check the game programming forum for more information. Most widely used languages are C/C++/Java/C#
