Re: This is not an application.. its a question..

VB is a bit of a beginners language. It and java are a bit slow for making big games. Thats why basically all big games are made in C++. The VB books are there to teach you the fundementals so that you can then go on and learn C++

I followed this exact same route accept i never got deep into VB.

If you want a "real job" with creating games then learn C++

VB.NET. Not the (old) Visual Basic.

Re: This is not an application.. its a question..

Old VB was an object based language, not an object oriented one. There is a major difference you know.
