Hi Tristan, I very much like programming my games in vb6. I program in vb6 just as I did in Quick Basic and very close to how I did in GW Basic, BasicA and the other Microsoft Basic languages before that. You know like on my Atari 800 XL and the Texas Instruments 99 4A before that. I just

Hi Jim, One more note. You are right most of the time a end user doesn't need to know the language the game is written in, but they will need to know the dependancies required to run it. In this case Visual Basic 6 requires allot of libraries which are going to be canned very shortly. The

Hi Davy, I certainly can agree with you regarding C++ verses Visual Basic for game programming. I've never been exactly fond of Visual Basic's need to word everything such as End If, End Loop, End Function, but I am thankful at least the IDE is good about autocompleting and filling in that

Hi Thomas, Thank you again for trying to explain object oriented programming. I just don't get it. You know 33 years ago when I drew up my first flow chart and later turned that into if, then, goto, gosub, return, open, print, close, get, put, input, peek, poke and stuff like that, that is
