Thanks ^_^
I'll be sure to keep this forum active with random calc projects, and maybe some non-calc projects

How is the book/story progressing?

Honestly, it isn't. It's been pretty low on my priority list recently, and it's going to stay down there for a while if I stick to my word and stop procrastinating learning Japanese, and if I start making that Super Mario Bros clone in Visual Basic like I've been planning, and plenty of other random projects. But thanks for the interest!^^ Knowing people are interested will definitely motivated me. Plus, I've been more interested in writing recently...

Today I was planning on making a topic in my Projects forum about what project I should take on next... totally slipped my mind, but thanks for the indirect reminder

Several years back i actually remember seeing a mario bros 1 clone in VB. It actually ran pretty well( Aside from being a bit glitchy, unfinished and well.. made in VB

) Me thinks you should work on the RPG, just my 2 cents anyways.

nice a vb mario clone, please use timers though so it runs at the same speed on all new PCs

I am curious about how it would turn out, I used to do VB a lot several years ago

I just decided to do it in VB because it's probably one of the worst possible languages to try it in. Loading levels will probably take a long time, at my current stage of knowledge (sequential access files... computer programming as a school class goes so slow...).
@Timers: good idea! I didn't think of that yet, but I probably would have somewhere down the road. *is saved of five minutes of thinking*
Maybe I'll also include a Level Editor...

But that's for a different topic.

It's always fun to try some challenges like programming in limited language. Isn't this what most BASIC programmers do anyway? %)

xLIB users try to show how far you can push a game using xLIB without learning ASM and pure BASIC programmers push BASIC limits to extreme even more because they show how far a game can be pushed without using any ASM lib or programs at all.

And I saw a pretty nice VB game a while ago by an old MaxCoderz members but i forgot the link

I think that's the common theme with me: I like to push the limits. TI-Basic, VB (eventually), even written english - it's just fun to push myself to new heights. That's why calculators were so appealing to me at the subconscious level. Consciously, just because I wanted to learn to program and that ever-present "I'm a nerd. Nerds like calcs" mental definition. But under all that... The true attraction lied in the foreboding sense of limitation; the subliminal curiosity to see how far I could take it before I hit the limit. I haven't hit the limit yet, but I've gotten to my limit for now. So a little vacation with some VB coding!

... My english went out of control for a minute O_O

well good luck w/ SMB in VB, and learning japanese

at some point, I probably want to learn a little so I can appreciate anime w/o subs. So far, I only know short phrases.
