Im a QBasic, Pascal, VB programmer, Use the Win32 API and DirectX, iv recentley started programming in C++ bcuz i found that Gaming with VB was so WRONG it just eats up 2 many resources, but any way when i came to C++ the Conversion between the two languages was easy and by my third day of programming in C++ i have allready created numerous small GDI games with sprites, sounds and alsorts running at super frame rates and taking miniscule resources compared to VB now what i wanted to know i guess was:
1) why is VB so ineficient when it comes to Gamming Compared To C++
2) Do any of you know why people bother with other languages such as VB if aside from stricter syntax and no variable decleration they are more or less the same but C++ has more of a future so why bother with VB (K except for Database Apps)?
3) Have Any Of You programmed before learning C and then found it an easy language to pick up?
Just wondering
