I'm taking programming with Visual Basic in college now, so I've been playing with it a lot. Today, I was bored and had all day to play with code so I tried making a little number game. Anyway, thought I'd share it, as I always do. - Windows only though ...actually it might run in wine or crossover, after all it's only a console program. If anyone's interested at looking in the code for whatever reason, I'll upload that too.

Haha, cool. Coincidentally, I started taking a programming class this year. We're starting off with Quick BASIC, though, not Visual I suppose it makes a difference between taking it in high school or college.

Funny, several of the examples I looked at today were actually in qbasic, but it was easy to translate to visual, they're pretty similar.

Visual basic is really mega easy, I can do it pretty well myself
I had classes in junior high

I have made a calculator, yes. Basic is pretty simple, once you look at a few examples it's pretty clear how things are done, and since I have a college-level textbook at my disposal, it's a breeze.

Edit: Oh yeah, Freshbite's got the right equation. Pretty nifty.

VB is a really great starting program, I must say. Are you doing .Net?

nice,
Switched to bootcamp just for this ^_^

Set up a basic site with xlphp and made a rotating avatar Can't use it here on Wolfire, since you have to upload avatars from your computer and aren't allowed to link to off-site ones, but it's working fine on Datarealms.

Basically, it changes whenever you refresh. 6 images in total- used to be 13, but I found that the same 6 or 7 kept popping up, so I figured I should cut down on the candidates.

It's been broken for a while for some reason. I dunno why. I just made that program today, though

*interrogation time*
It's an introduction to programming course which utilizes Visual Basic 2008 Express supplied by Microsoft to students who have an email address ending in .edu, which my college has provided for me. Yes, I do plan to move on to other languages, perhaps as soon as next semester.
