There are some things...
For example just now I found a real weakness in VB: You can''t return a reference from a function (ByRef only works for parameters, not return values). Being a C coder this kinda makes me feel... limited. =(
Right now I'm using get/set functions for the properties but the
I had originally in mind won't work out unless someone knows a workaround.
And while you're here... Yeah, DX8 are nothing special but that's exactly why I'm posting here. My goal is to make a "snappy" game that doesn't feel as static as MS usually does. So the UI has to be good and I need feedback, ideas, discussion and criticism for that. What would make a GUI/widget system special for you? Effects? A certain kind of interaction with the game? Controls? A certain layout or lack of it?
I got the basic technology down, now I need something cool to apply it to.
