I'm really interrested in Visual Basic. I've had it for a while now, and and I'm trying to think of a good program to make.

I'm no expert or pro, I'm a newbie. But I can't think of anything to test my skillz with.

I know most simple commands and stuff and have previouse programming experience with qbasic and such simple languages.

Any ideas would be cool :P
 
if your looking for something to program that is easy, try making a text oriented program. have it move text to one textbox to antoher, change colors, changes back colors, easy stuff like that is a cool thing to start with
 
Or try to make a front-end for console apps,
Like i'm working on a front-end for apache,
And did a few in the past with vb6.
 
what about a simple databse program like an inventory program or a interest calculator. those are the programs they always have you write in computer classes
 
the first "project" for vb(6) was a calculator, first it was a 2 screen(textbox) calculator, but then i figured out how to make it with 1 textbox, choose something like one of these:

Pong - 2 paddles, you control both(or u could build AI) and u have to hit the ball back and forth
Whack a moe - random moe's(moles - i used moe from the Simpsons random moe's appear on the form and u have to click on them, they go faster and faster
calculator - i would do this one first

good luck learning vb(.net)
 
You guys have inspired me to make a Clan Manager.

It's for a game called Counter-Strike and it helps you keep track of your members, their "Wonid" witch is critical in the game and location, name.. Lots of stuff.

THANK!
 
Maybe for now, wyrd. But through my handy-dandy time machine I went forward 5 years (or was it 15?) and saw a nifty game titled "wyrd's wonderful world of wacky worms", and IT was the best FPT ever. I would have gone farther ahead to see if there was a version 2, but I got hungry and came back to present time to get a taco.

So, keep plugging away and maybe you can upset Valve for the next best FPS!

(this is random thoughts, right?)
