Hi Richard, Thomas and everyone, Thanks for your responses, I appreciate them. Instead of buying VB, have you guys heard of Visual Basic Express 2005? Apparrently it's free. Will I be able to program games with this, or if I have to buy, I suppose I don't need the Enterprise Edition of VB? The VB course offered is quite expensive, but includes VB, although I'm not sure what version, studio or enterprise. For VB, what is the difference between studio and VB enterprise editions? Thomas, if I get the Visual Studio Standard, would I still be able to make quite good games?
