To shadow: Hmm, you got a point, but there are still some who have to use QB, like darkjay.. Mitth just wants SpaceMerc out the way and finished b4 he moves on..
To thedarkjay: The problem with QB is not its speed, its the userbility of the IDE and what it compiles.. what works for you on your comp, most of the time now won't work for some1 else... :wink:
QB (FB) a building block!!!!! :o , in ways yes, but 2many discard it as some simple little language, do you know (looked this up) that Basic in programing terms was the most advance language (still is with FB) from its use of standard english commands...... :wink: .. and FB takes it to bigger better and faster things, it runs OpenGL just the same as C++!!!
Learn C++, you can make money with that, maybe you'll program the next NeedForSpeed, or be part of the next big RPG.. but Basic is more than a building block, :wink: , remember that, aye?
