Replies mephisto mortis Posted at 5:28 pm on Sep. 3, 2004 now back 2 years a go when i took vb in school (and i was quite good at it too) the best game i could make was solitare Misero Posted at 10:03 am on July 28, 2004 My personal opinion is that VB is a really horrible language, so I've never used except for when I was forced to at school. That said, you can use DirectX with VB, and it would be much simpler to do than if you were using C/C++ (though you'd be sacrificing performance and control). However, I'm not sure if DirectX is quite what you're after, since you seem pretty new to the whole game programming thing. If I was you I'd just Google for some simple tutorials on VB game programming and see what comes up. Good luck with it anyway :) sakurag Posted at 9:48 am on July 19, 2004 What type of game are you planning on making?
