Engine Help

[Adamo_R0X461]

I'm currently working on a vb6 Game, my current game is vb6, but now i found out that windows 9 is not going to be abel to play vb6 games, so i don't feel like their any point making this game in vb6 anymore,

SO my main point is, does anyone know an open source engine? but like an engine that's decent not like a java engine that only has map eddiore :/ like a engine that atlest has the basics.

THanks a lot i will be greatfull if anyone can help :)

Prospekt.NET might be along the lines of what you are looking for

> and im looking dor something higher then vb6.net

As far as I know there is no vb6.net . Prospekt.net is based on visual basic.net which will probably be supported in future windows releases.

Or you can wait for Eclipse V to be completed.

You can be assured that HTML5 has a very bright future ahead of it.

sorry I ment vb.net * and ik I just want anything better then vb6 and vb.net

Don't let anyone fool you, VB6 was also going to be dropped in Vista, 7, and 8 lolz

They may try to make it harder to install the IDE (the programming application) again in order to encourage moving away from it, but the vb6 runtime (what is needed to run the engine) will be in windows 9 no doubt which means the engine still has 3-4 years of life (minimum) in it but by that time V will already be out lol.

thank you that made me feel better so u think I should finish my game, then when needed just switch to the newer engine and code it to be like my game? :D wait  is that engine going to be open source? please say yes :/

and another thing someone told me windows 9 isn't coming out till like atlest 2 years is that true?

[Orbegon]

Windows 9 isn't coming out for awhile, we are barely at 8.1 or something.

You won't see them drop support for VB6 programs for a very long time. While it's antiquated at this point, to many enterprise level applications and businesses utilizing applications built with it. You'll definitely see some sort of backwards compatibility to support running older applications, even if it uses a built in emulation method like the current Windows On Windows.

You needn't worry! Keep on trucking and learning!

If / when there is a vb.net engine available you shouldnt worry about ever losing support with it. C# is Microsofts baby, it will be alive as long as microsoft is, and even though they may not use it, alot of C# developers that keep the language alive with microsoft support the existance and portability of vb.net as well so it will last right along side :)
