well after all that the programmer realised that he was not setting
something right.
The major turn off for dotnet at least for 2010 up is the ide, some
have genuine trouble with it.
I am not sure how to solve this.
Is there something else rather than the microsoft bog standard ides.

Shaun,
It really saddens me to hear that. Using Visual Basic 6 in this day
and age is really a step in the wrong direction in my opinion. Danny
would have been better off going with Visual Basic .NET or C# .NET
than going to Visual Basic 6. Not trying to criticize here, but
developers need to think ahead of what is best for Windows 7, Windows
8, and Windows 8.1 as that is current reality, and it is not that hard
to put together a great game in VB .NET using SlimDX that is x64
compatible etc.
I don't really know what issues you guys encountered in BGT that would
require a drastic rewrite, but it is entirely possible they could be
addressed. The engine seems rather capable from what I have seen of it
in action and from experimentation, and I don't know how much skill
Danny has as a programmer. I would really like more information on
what precisely BGT could not do that say Visual Basic 6 could do.
Cheers!
