the standard version is free now? O_O

I never got able to find it on MS website, this site is so much confusing, it tells you to click somewhere to access a download and when u click the page have no downloads or stuff like this

oh it's the beta now I see the catch

but having heard about people comments on their betas usually they aren't much worse than the final product so I'm sure it is quite reliable alerady.

I may stick to Visual Studio 6.0 (1998) tho, not sure yet, I'll think about it after freeing up some diskspace on my PC

Well... You actually have a choice...

On that page you can download the new beta of Visual Studios 2008 Express Edition or you can download the Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition (non Beta version).

If it isn't VB6.0, I probably can't use it.

And DJ Omni, assuming I understood your question correctly (which I hope I did), I'm only posting about this project here, and I'm probably going to be the only one posting about it. That may and probably will change, but for now I'm keeping it small scale.

Today should be a good day for progress. Maybe some actual outlining ^^

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #19 on:** October 25, 2007, 02:01:00 am »

@Ranman Visual Studio 2005 != Visual Studio/Basic 6

the one I am looking for is the 1998 version, since this is in which my games were saved in.

@Radical Pi yeah I actually meant if other teamates were gonna posting

Are you sure?

Of course I know that. I was simply stating that Visual Studios Express Edition is now a free download. I did not say that you have to actually use it.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #21 on:** October 25, 2007, 03:57:00 am »

yeah I know don't worry

I wish the 1998 version was still avaliable -.-

Radical Pi · « **Reply #22 on:** October 25, 2007, 11:54:00 am »

I doubt other people involved are going to post updates here. I'm the only one of the group who frequents the internet enough to post about it here.

Today we almost got progress! We spent the entire time trying to figure out how to read keypresses with little success. I was pretty sure it was normal straightforward VB code, but somewhere along the way I must have utterly screwed up. I should probably look into that on google or something...

Liazon · « **Reply #23 on:** October 25, 2007, 12:17:00 pm »

just wondering, in the Visual series, do you have to use dropbox stuff? or can you just code straight up?

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #24 on:** October 25, 2007, 05:19:00 pm »

both I think

I hope you can find a way to allow multi keypresses radical_pi

Radical Pi · « **Reply #25 on:** October 25, 2007, 11:27:00 pm »

Me too. It would be extremely frightening if VB didn't have a way to test for multiple keypresses. But I still need to master single keypresses >_<

TIfanx1999 · « **Reply #26 on:** October 27, 2007, 05:10:00 am »

It does, im just not sure how, I've seen a demo that supported multiple keypresses before.

Liazon · « **Reply #27 on:** October 27, 2007, 10:33:00 am »

that'd be awkward... a game w/o multiple keypresses. even ddr and guitar hero have multiple key presses.

yea, that would be like Uber old school. The gameplay would be reaaalllyyy Clunky too

it would work well for a RPG tho, actually making a RPG in VB is easy but I don't know how to create save data and handle them yet
