Hi Ken,
VB.Net has its disadvantages over BGT, mainly that the end user has to
install the .net framework on their systems. I do not even have VB.Net on my
system either.
Regards,
Damien.

Subject: [Audyssey] port Heli to vb.net if you want: was Re: Heli
There is a vb.net studio called Sharp Develop. I have no idea how to use
vb.net, but if someone would port what I have to vb.net, then I imagine
many more people could work on it, and not have to buy anything either.
Plus,the latest version of Direct Audio could be used instead of DirectX
8, and who knows how much more powerful the game could be. BGT not having
3d was the first reason I chose not to go with it. The second is that I
know vb6 pretty well. I am certainly willing to change to vb.net, but to
tell you the truth, I don't learn very well unless I have code right in
front of me to play with. Well, I can't say that exactly, as I had to
develop the 3d audio engine by myself from descriptions, but we're talking
about a whole new language here, a whole new way to do things.
In other words, I'd be grateful if someone could port this to vb.net, not
offended. I don't know that I won't still use BB6 instead--I'm mainly a
hobby programmer, not a pro making a lot of money by selling the
cutting-edge games like Tom and others. I think that if you have the
patience and dedication to make such games, that's awesome. My enjoyment
comes from exploring frontiers, like 3d audio in vb6, and like using the
mouse, another area that still could be opened up a bit. My real
enjoyment in working with computers though is creating sound effects and
music; if I program a game, it's just because I get this idea in my head
that won't leave me alone till I've made the game.

Um damien, that won't work at the moment, as bgt doesn't have any 3d
sound capabilities.

Hi,
I'm thinking we should port Heli over to BGT. What are your thoughts? If
there are no objections, is there anyone helping with the VB version
who'd like to help me convert it?
Regards,
Damien.
