This is where we're going to keep all of the programs we decide to release for free. And, although we're releasing these programs for free, we would really appreciate if you would make a donation to our site via paypal if you find one of these programs useful. (donation links coming soon)
For each program, I'm going to include a download link, who made it (Brian or Brandon) and a short summary of what the program does. If you need assistance with a program or find a bug with one of these programs, feel free to e-mail the author of the program - Brandon or Brian. We will probably be adding more to this list soon.
Also, please note that most of these programs require DirectX 9.0c to run because of the language they're written in. You can download directx here.
Base Converter
By Brian - Converts ASCII, decimal, hex, binary, and octal - simple reference tool.

DBA String Encrypter
By Brian - For DarkBASIC Professional programmers, put 2 comments in your code, and run it, and it makes a new source code file which will be impervious to people editing your binary .exe. (NOTE: may slow down program at runtime) (Also, I'm not claiming it's some advanced encryption - it's obvious what it does, when u run it, it's just a simple tool I've been using for a while) Also, on request, I can probably adapt it to other languages.
DBA String Encrypter
DBPro Model Converter
By Brian - Designed for DarkBASIC Professional users, but it can be used by anyone working with 3d models. Converts from .3ds, .x, and .dbo (darkbasic format) to .x and .dbo.
DBPro Model Converter
Encoder-Decoder v6
By Brian - Simple XOR encryption for files. Simply drag a file onto the exe, select either password-based encrytion or file-based encryption (more secure, but the other person must have the same file to decrypt) (NOTE: because it's an XOR algorithm, encrypt is the exact same as decrypt, so to decrypt, just "encrypt" the already encrypted file with the same password or file used to encrypt) (ALSO NOTE: It's not a very advanced algorithm, and rather slow. On the plus side, It's very unlikely that someone will be able to decrypt it ;D)
Encoder-Decoder v6
JAR Creator
By Brian - A utility I made for Java programmers, make compiling a .jar from .java files MUCH easier. You just tell it where all your source files are and give it a temporary folder it can use, and it compiles your source files into .class files, then adds them to the .jar, all automated, so u don't have 2 do all the command-line crap... (PS - u ppl HAVE TO use this, I worked very hard on it =D) (oh, yea, also, if you don't have "package" statements on your source files, it usually makes it very difficult to get your .jar working, so I have an option for it to add the "package" statements for you, as long as all of your source files were originally in the same folder, becuz it can just give them all the same package and place them accordingly in the .jar)
JAR Creator
Network Messenger
By Brian - A simple program utilizing an old windows service which will make a message pop up on the screens of everyone else on your LAN or network who also has the service running. (NOTE: very primitive - not even close 2 IMing and such)
Network Messenger
Password-Key Generator
By Brian - if you need a random ASCII, alpha-numeric, decimal, hex, or text (letters only) password, this is a small program to generate such a password with a given length. Not that I doubt you can come up with a random password on your own, it's just a simple program I wrote in my free time...
Password-Key Generator
Pixel XY Locator
By Brian - For web designers, programers... generally anyone who works with images. Simply allows you to find the (x,y) coordinates and RGBA color of a given pixel. Unfortunately, I've found it to be VERY slow in responding to mouse movement, etc... (NOTE: click to lock the x,y,rgba information for the current pixel - use if you need to write it down or whatever - and click again to unlock)
Pixel XY Locator
Virtual Hard Drive Creator
By Brian - creates "virtual hard drives" (NOT a CD-drive emulator or anything complicated) which basically creates a new "hard drive" which refers to a location on an existing hard drive. Basically used as a shortcut to a folder you use often. Right now, the drives seem to go away when you restart, and I haven't found a fix. If anybody here is familiar with the DOS command "subst" please help.
Virtual Hard Drive Creator
Blast It
By Brian - On a less serious note, this program is a small test of DarkPhysics, an Ageia Physx-powered library for use with DarkBASIC Professional. Basically, drag an image onto it (it requires a command line input) and it will start up and allow you to blast the crap out of that image in the form of a simulated cloth. VERY BUGGY - not my fault, the library's still pretty unstable - but amusing when it works. Click to fire spheres. Space to reset. Shift-Space to change modes.
Blast It
Kernel Piano
By Brian - Another program written less for utility value than for amusement value - it's a piano, using kernel32.dll (a windows dll) to make the sounds - which means it will work even if you don't have speakers hooked up. Uses keys Q-P, A-;, and Z-?. Will also record, save, load, and play your compositions. =D
Kernel Piano
More programs that we haven't completed, but can, on request, and as our other commitments allow:
Serial Data-Array Generator
Designed for darkbasic users, I can easily adapt it to work for most other programming languages, on request. It inputs a text file (it can actually be used for a variety of things, but I used it for serial numbers hardcoded into the program) and outputs it either as an array, assigning each line to one element in the array, or outputs it using "DATA" statements, which most BASIC programmers will be familiar with.
Databasing Program
A simple program to create, edit, save databases and find database entries with specific criteria. Originally created for a small animal hospital, to keep track of expiration dates on their drugs.
Access Lock
makes it difficult (NOT impossible - computer-savy users may circumvent) to use your computer while locked, requires a password to unlock
File Identification
indexes a directory by making a list of all files, allows you to compare differences in indexes made at different times, and to delete files based on certain criteria (under __ bytes, matching ___ regex pattern, etc.)
LUA CLI
A LUA command line program which allows you to run LUA commands, test LUA scripts, etc. (currently has at least one bug, probably more, which are VERY hard to find in the programming language this program's written in)
