quote:Yes you can make games in VB. Is it practical? Not in my opinion (notice the opinion word there, no flaming me ). What can I say, I like my pointers.
Now, remembering that what you said was an opinion, and therefore cannot be disproven I would like to point (trying to think of a different word to avoid a bad pun
) out that you can use pointers in VB. So although you may not want to program games in VB, which is fine, don''t imlpy things which aren''t true.Back on topic, I''d say a person with the same willingness to create games will create good games in either C++ or VB once they can use either of them. Once you can express your thinking using a programming language, it doesn''t matter any more. So, go for VB, go for C++. People will tell you that VB is easier or that C++ is better in the long run. I put it to you, that which ever one you take, the end result will be pretty much the same. If you don''t have a desire to learn, then you will get nowhere in both of them. If you don''t have patience, I can''t see any programming language fixing that.
ps... vb is good
Trying is the first step towards failure.
. I guess I shouldn''t have used that exact phrase, since there are pointers in VB technically, but now everyone can tell exactly what I meant 
.
