Hi all. It's been awhile since I've posted here because I've forayed into the world of C++ programming (sacrilige!).
To all those QB programmers out there who are, like I was, terrified of the thought of having to learn a new programming language, fear not. C++ is unbelievably easy to learn.
I also used to say that C++ is long and tedious to program in, but there isn't really all that much more code to enter.
When I only knew QB, a smooth pixel*pixel scroller with flickerless animation and a 60FPS framerate was a thing of my dreams (being a purist and not liking libraries). I have only been learning C++ for a MONTH and have already accomplished this.
But to the point.... Who else here has found that a solid beginning in QBasic has aided their ability to move on to C++?
Try it! I urge you all. But never forget where you came from.
