Hi, Well, porting the game to VB6 would be much easier because I kind of do have an understanding on how it works, though... Well, I dunno. I am getting drawn here, and there, use this use that. I need some more time. But I still thinking of porting to BGT is a good idea, is it? Well, I've lost my opinion now *laughs*

The run time libraries for VB6 are very small and easy to install. And that then makes VB6 games etc run just fine under all versions of Windows. Heck, who cares if Microsoft no longer supports VB6. I mean what if VB6 was not even a Microsoft product. That doesn't make it bad. I see allot of Microsoft products that people have allot worse time trying to get to run even with huge down loads and installs of the supporting files. And heck I some times still run a program named Cool Edit version 1.53 and that was built for Windows 3.1. But it runs just fine and has some cool features that even the newest version of Gold Wave doesn't have. > > But that is just my opinion of VB6.
