I’m just curious, has anyone ever made a library for VB to use SDL?
If not does anyone know a good place to start researching a way to do
so? I love VB so much I don’t want to learn C++ just to use this
wonderful library.

uhhh, i would suggest learning c/c++ so your apps will work with out
the microsoft dependency. sorry i can not answer your question as i do
not know.
i was going to suggest using qt as thats a nice cross platform api i
c++, but not sure how well it works with sdl. i would like to know
myself since ill be there soon as i am done with my game core.
errr, sorry if it seems like i high jacked the post

Hello !
Hahah, at least you answered. Yeah I know I should learn C++. I was
just curious. Oh well. Thanks for answering.
Using SDL with VB is possible, as SDL uses stdcall
and only C functions.
To use it with SDL you have to
write some kind of import header file or what that
is called in VB.
I don’t think you can use QT with VB, as it uses classes
and VB 6 is a really old version of VB. With the newer ones
like VB 2005 it should be possible.
But doing all this is harder than learning C/C++
CU
Or at least switch to VB.NET. VB6 has been deprecated by Microsoft a
good while ago. You’ll need .NET wrappers though, as SDL is purely a C
library.On 7/18/07, Matthew Johnson wrote:

I thank you for the advice. However switching to .NET seems doubly
irksome as I’m aware there are a few changes in the syntax and design.
And I’ve never heard of .NET wrappers. So that’s only going to make
it harder. I might actually be better off learning C++, at least SDL
already has a setup for Dev-C++ IDE. But then again I’ve been using
VB for years as a simple way of making programs that I need. I
personally think Microsoft made a mistake forcing .NET on us. But
that’s me.
And I’ve never heard of dotngu before, is it better than SharpDevelop?
I originally downloaded it to learn VB.NET and hated it as I couldn’t
find a decent tutorial and can’t afford the books at the moment.
But again thank you, I’ll either give up on SDL or suck it up and
learn a new language. Thanks again.On 7/24/07, Jeff <j_post at pacbell.net> wrote:
