Title: Visual Basic
Post by: magintz on Wed 18/06/2003 21:23:23
I'm currently working with VB, I like it a lot and am finding it an interesting language to learn, but I need some help.

Does anyone know how I can put these skills to use? Are there any applications which people may find interesting?

Nothing too hi-tech like desktop roger, but something interesting that people might find helpful.

You bastard, I've asked this question before, too. :P

I once created several useless programs like Random Name Generator, Random Word Generator, etc. They are semi-useful to certain people,  but not much. Desktop Roger was useful and popular, but people don't seem too interested in it anymore.

I would consider doing programs that people could run alongside AGS, to aide them. Rodekill once made a program to aide people in creating games. Too bad he had that idea first. To do something similar now would be copying him. :P

I have sooo many projects on my hard drive that were either abandoned or finished...and then abandoned. If you were into making an AGS-helper program, I'd look at the tech forums and find a common problem that hasn't been solved yet, then make a program to help with that.

Other than that, I dunno. :P

1. A program with which we can neatly plan out complex dialogue trees.

or

2. A program that plays 'Barbie Girl' on a constant loop until you stop browsing the forums and start working on your game.

I've thought of the perfect thing for you guys, I hope it's helpful and will get it to you either tonight or tommorow.

I've never used rodekill's app, but I hope this is different, it's a simple program to record a bunch of details about inventory items, characters, global ints etc... so you can keep a log of what everything is called and wht room it appears in aswell as linked numbers or views etc...

You know what would be sort-of-nice-and-at-the-same-time-very-damn-difficult-to-impliment? Multiplayer support. Imagine: a point-n-click adventure for multiple players. Coop or working against each other. It might work (it might also suck, I don't know) :)
