Hello, folks.

I'd like to write a game program to share with everyone here.
I've found the programming language 'RealBasic' is quite accessible.
Is anyone here familiar with this language?
I've tried writing in another language, but it is totally non-accessible. (Revolution)

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,

never heard of that one... i know of vb, just basic, autoit, c++, python. but not realbasic. oh and btw this isn't offtopic at all, you're going to make audiogames right? or did i misunderstand that.

Yes, I'm going to attempt it, anyways. smile
My first goal is to make a character generation algo.
But, I am stuck.

I'm a new programmer.

My basic goal is this (for now).

1. Find the number of lines in an editfield.
2. Choose a random line of that field.
3. Place it into another editfield.
-Or save it to a file, to load later.

I thought LibertyBasic was not accessible, assofar as EXEs go.

I'd use VB, Visual Basic 6, since you can do most things and make good games with it.

As for liberty basic and just basic being unaccessible, I donb know that there are some screen reader issues. I'd have to say that you should use a .net language because of the access to microsoft sapi and directx. I'm a novice myself and haven't actually written an audio game yet so I'm no expert on the topic.

I find justbasic very accessible as you say and it is very functional. Autoit has potential, and I guess vb is popular.

VB6 supports Sapi and DirectX

AutoIt is pretty nice(I'm not well versed in it), but it gets a bit annoying with the includes. I don't like includes.
Hey, does anyone know all the functions about using the audio.au3 include that allows you to pan and stuff?

autoit, vb6, vb 2005 or vb .net if you want to make your games work on vista (you won't yet the majority of the VI Community is still on xp it won't be till 08 till they start transforing to vista). Rail Racer is made in vb.net, but vb 2005/.net are no wheres near how accessible vb6 is. MS is discontinueing it in 08. Also you have the basic programming languages, Justbasic, autoit, libertybasic (inaccessible don't even give it a chance). Tommy does some of DSG's games in justbasic, and it works great. It might be every game that you do in justbasic, you would have to answer that sk8. You can get justbasic here:
www.justbasic.com
and autoit:
www.autoitscript.com

There's always c++, c#, and all the other c's lol. Those are used in advanced development for sound play and such.

Justbasic and liberty basic are the same. Justbasic is a version with some features tooken out that's all.

2007-08-29 20:56:03

I'm sure VB6 programs work on Vista, don't they? I have a vista computer so I could always test it out.

I'd go with vb.net. I'm not sure vb6 is still supported.
