Re: Is learning visual basic worth it?
I there!
Well, I am curious and like to experiment, so, after reading this discusion, I wondered: why so many people recommens python and not visual basic? Let's give it a try.
The results? In 15-20 minutes I finished a rendering window (without using windows forms), a basic gameloop, whitch accepts keyboard input, so if you press M, it shows a message from a string variable, and if you press C, the game closes.
It took 15-20 minutes (with pauses to research how to declare variables and include refferences, etc), and there are no more than 20-30 lines.
It's my first experience with visual basic, so, my opinion is that you can use it to make games easily (though intelli-sense works much better with c#). If you know a bit of basic, even the old one, go ahead, it's easy and your way will be much more easy with all that previous knowledge.
I can post the code here if anyone is interested. If someone could repeat the experiment u sing python we could compare results.
Have a nice day!
