Re: More about VB6

I personally recommend vb.net or c# for games, and here's why.
vb6 (as far as I know) won't work with higher versions of direct x, and last 
time I heard they were phased out.
If you still want to learn vb6, you'll need the visual basic ide, (not visual 
studio), which you'll probably have to pay for.
vb.net is vb6, but it's OOP, and uses the .net framework.
You can get that ide for free, and it's just called visual basic.net express 
2008.
I believe you can just download separate ides, if not you'll just want vs 2008 
express.

  Hi again!

  Okay, I'm interested in working with VB6.  So, since Visual Studios is an 
IDE, do I have to have that in order to work with VB6 on a Windows XP Pro 
system?

  Actually, the type of programming I'd like to learn involves communication, 
like generating conversation or making a madlib game.  Then maybe down the road 
I might want to develop more complex simulation/adventure type games.
