Re: Is learning visual basic worth it?
Severestormsteve1, a lot depends on what version of Visual Basic you mean. Do you mean VB 6 and earlier, or do you mean Visual Basic .NET?
If you are talking about Visual Basic 6 and prior versions I'd say no. Although, it was used for games in the past the language, tools, etc are extremely old and deprecated. SO I would not recommend using it for any new projects.
However, as for VB .NET it depends on the project, but I'd say it still has some use to developers. It is fairly easy to work with and while I might not suggest it for games it is fairly handy for creating other applications and stuff. I rather like VB .NET as a quick and dirty programming language. Although, you could certainly develop games in it if you wanted too.
As for Python there is certainly more than one library available for game development. Not sure where you got the idea there is only one library for game development, but it is not true. Off the top of my head there is PyS DL, PySDL2, Pygame, Pyglet, etc. Those are just the more common ones. So if you ever decide to take up Python for game development there is a lot more out there than you seem to think.
