hey all,i was just wondering,is vb as fast as c++,graphics routines wise,because of the new version of directx for vb.This seems to be what vb programmers are now rubbing in c++ coders faces.Any input is appreciated. "Good,evil,I got the gun" Ash- Evil Dead

c++ is and alsways will be faster than BASIC =)

VB doesn''t support full features of DX8

VB doesn''t support multi-threads, which is crucial to the game development

VC code is more efficient that that of VB

ummm, oh i have a question, why is a computer better than my 10 fingers and 10 toes.

What are multi-threads? (i''m learning vc++)

yeah VB easier to learn...i guess...

multi threads are individual threads running in your program.
a thread is a single execution pipeline of instructions...

multitasking uses a combination of threads, processes and fibers..

a thread allows you to do a single task, 2 threads can do 2 tasks concurrently (well almost).

read up the
CreateThread() for windows and
fork() for unix / linux (create process)



{ Stating the obvious never helped any situation !! }

VB is better in respects to ease of use, speed, and lower system requirements. However, VC is faster in most respects.
