Gaming Help ...

im starting to develop an internet game in vb
before i start i wanna know which will be better - vb or vc and why ?
most guyz recommend vc but i wann know why ...

Game means graphics. And my opinion is that vb is more powerful in graphics.
Also, (my opinion always) I believe that C would be used only for very specializes purposes, where no other language could have good results. For example when speed is the meaning, for real time applications (eg count temperature of a room at real time etc.) c++ is better, but in all other common applications vb is the best!

With all due respect, you are WAY off. C++ would be FAR superior to use for graphics. Why do you think most games are written in C++???? Inheritance and a whole host of other issues also come into play. C++ is a FAR lower level language.

[Dr_Michael]

Yes it is a lower level language than Vb!
Why games are written in C++? for speed performance ofcourse! Anyway, vb is the favourite child of Microsoft and so is mine! :-)

C++ is used to create graphic engines which require high speed processing. From my point of view it depends what kind is the game, if it's a card or puzzle game then Vb is perfect, if it's a racing game or action with advanced graphic engine (use of 3Dfx cards, Direct 3D or software rendering) then C++ is much better. Like for Quake3 or Unreal Tounament....those kind of games require C++, if game like solitair or minsweeper then go ahead and make it with VB.....faster and better

this topic may be a little old, but what progams can you use to render 3d in games? Your reply would be greatly appreciated.
Cpidey-

I have no idea what this is used for.
