Hi. While I'm not on the same level as Liam and Damian and stuff, I've developed some TUI text user interface games in vb script. But because of how I do it, I have basically the power of b the real vb I mean. I've been writing games that run in the monkey term mud client. They never connect to a mud, they just have keybindings and aliases and things. The one I'm working on right now is sg3 I call it, where you do the classic thing, visit the shop to enhance your space ship, then go blow another ship up to get enough points to buy something else to enhance your ship with. It does have sound effects using com audio and uses jfwapi and gwspeech or sapi for speech output. Eventually I want to make it publically available but it isn't yet. The point is though at least I can develop basic games and I'm 18, a senior in high school with one year left to go (a 5 year high school plan). I took trig and stopped there. I'll want to develop 3d games in the future but I'll be doing it without calculus. I don't know hardly anything about it except with a few minutes I could make something pan with com audio but that's about it. I haven't taken any programming classes. I got some training from other randomly willing people, w3schools and trial and error and exciting goals.
