dallasfan12 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 What is the name of the language used for eclipse? Say I wanted to google tutorials? Or does anyone know the most basic of tutorials for someone with no experience to start out with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruins of Hell Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Scripting ≠Programming; but I'll assume you mean programming because we haven't used scripting in Eclipse for quite some time.We use Visual Basic 6 and it's very easy to pick up (it's almost plain English). [You can read the guide on installing it here.](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,68399.msg736833.html#msg736833) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallasfan12 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Okay thanks. See? Total newb! But thanks for the tutorial. I realize I'm pretty late, but I'd really like to become a member of the eclipse community and make a huge game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallasfan12 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 So what is that software for? Does it teach you the language? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruins of Hell Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 @dallasfan12:> So what is that software for? Does it teach you the language?Well, Visual Basic 6 refers to two things, one is the IDE (the software) and the other is the language.You can write Visual Basic 6 anywhere, the problem is, the computer won't understand it. That makes it worthless.The IDE (aka integrated development environment) takes Visual Basic 6 and translates it (compiles it) into a language the computer can understand. This is what you need to develop Eclipse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallasfan12 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Ok. I read that it isn't supported by microsoft. Can it still be bought? I don't care to buy it if I know where. Because idk how to torrent XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rithy58 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 You can still buy it but look at the price:http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Visual-Enterprise-Development-System/dp/B00002S7HVNot sure if it's the right legal term but I pretty much think VB6 is an abandon ware.And here's a guide to torrent. Torrent is P2P, which is perfectly legal. What you download, is a different story. Sometime it's just good to learn how something work. You don't have to tell us what you're going to do with this. Don't ask again how to get VB6\. I can't be any more specific.http://lifehacker.com/285489/a-beginners-guide-to-bittorrentSincerely,Rithy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallasfan12 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Okay. So where can I actually learn the language and begin programming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruins of Hell Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 In my opinion, you really don't need guides. They're a waste of time and you'll probably learn better by just picking up the code and adding things in. However, if you must, here are some guides on the syntax of VB6.[Variables](http://www.vb6.us/tutorials/using-variables-visual-basic-vb6-tutorial)[More variables + types](http://www.vb6.us/tutorials/understanding-variables-and-types-vb6)[If statements](http://www.vb6.us/tutorials/understanding-if-conditional-statement-vb6-tutorial)[If statements and conditionals](http://www.vb6.us/tutorials/understanding-if-statements-and-conditionals-vb6)[Loops](http://www.vb6.us/tutorials/understanding-do-and-while-loops)[Subroutines and functions (warning: long)](http://www.vb6.us/tutorials/understanding-subroutines-and-functions-vb) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
