uman...wtf

yeah you CAN make games in VB6, but i would not. as mentioned before, i would get into VB.net because, although VB.net is almost just as easy as VB6, you can implement DirectX!!!! yeah thats what they use in all the big games nowadays...
BUT i would not waste my time learning C# and just start learning C++ everyone says ZOMG ITS TOO HARD NO YOU ARE NOOB YOU CANT LEARN C++ but C# is closer to C++ than most people realize and neither one is much harder to learn than the other; therefore go with the most productive, C++

IMHO if you learn C++ and master it then you can learn ANY C based language (Java, C#) in a few days with documentation on the side

although i must say my transition into Java found me thinking that C++ is easier

i myself am only an amateur in both C++ and Java; as well as VB and VB.net.

if you want VB.net games i can give you some. physics is tedious because elastic collisions with conserved KE round off each time so the speed is not constant of a bouncing projectile in arachnid.
