I''m making an isometric engine to replace Dink Smallwood (http://www.dinksmallwood.net), and I''m doing it in VB. The site for the engine''s http://jonathon-manning.virtualave.net, and I just want to know what everybody out there thinks.

I think it''s a mistake, the fact that you''re using VB that is :D

Yes, I know VB isn''t the best tool for game development, but I''d like to see if it can be done.

And it''s all I have.

VB isn't so bad.

Check out my IsoEngine on allvb.de.vu/winrt.
it's all VB Stuff. :-)

If you plan to add big AI you should move to C++.

Why don''t you give Blitz Basic a try?

You might be interested in using a pre-done graphics engine in conjunction with VB. BMDXCtls is one I wrote (in VC++) and used with the Scrolling Game Development Kit (in VB).

Great ideas, but I''m working on an engine of my *own*, and though those two suggestions are great - I''ve checked them out - I''m trying to do this with as little base as possible - just to see if it can be done. :-)
