RE: Visual Basic and GTK/GTK+ in Games

[Su Min Tan <smtan3@student.monash.edu.au>]

Actually I am designing one like FF8 right now..experimenting with the
latest modeling tool from Japan. I know PS platform can't take anymore than
it can go..so I am going to "transfer" square's legacy onto the CPU where it
is still scalable. Erm currently it is extremely hard to program the entire
code from scratch(which is what I am doing since there is so little help
from Microsoft or any where in the web). On top of that I am doing this
mostly on my own..my helpers are..sort of..distracted. This is all in VB 6.0
SP3 and Direct X 7. If anyone out there who could any way ease "the
pain"..please give it your best shot. Thank you.

regards,
Su Min
