Re: Console app

["jeff roth" <jefjay@hotmail.com>]

As was discussed just recently, the "console" in win32 console apps mean 
text only (I didn't realize this before) so there's not really any way in 
any lanquage to make a side-scrolling game in a console app.
As for using Visual Basic 6.0, it has image and picture controls but my 
experiance with those has been they have horrible performance, but I was 
using very large images. There is support for DirectX 7 in Visual Basic 6.0 
but I haven't found much documentation on it and although on the job I do 
alot of VB programming, I do my game programming using Visaul C++.
If anyone else knows of a control or library that make some functions like 
this available in VB, I would also be interested.

By there way, I think this is very much on topic.

This is a bit off-topic, but someone might be able to help...

Does anyone know if it is at all possible to write win32 console apps in
Visual Basic 6.0? And is it fast enough to create a not-to-complicated
scrolling game (kinda like Raptor for those of you who know it).

Anywayz Thanks,
Gerco Dries.
