Is it possible to make & sell games using Visual Basic 6.0?

If this is the only language I'm self educated enough to learn, and use, as far as programming as a beginner with having ADD/ADHD and difficulty learning at a comprehention level, would I be able to still come up with a game I could possibly sell on ebay or such...examples of the like would be already made games, that I think I could possibly try and program like, "Siege of Avalon" or "Betrayal in Antara" that have interactive charecters, with little animation except for battle encounters, and moving etc. The "C" Language is totaly difficult for me to even begin to comprehend, even reading the book that teaches it, I can't even understand what the books even talking about, I'm not at all familiar with terms like, "API" or "pixel shading" or "GUI", and I'm still trying to grasp the concept of how to call variables in subroutines using VB.6.0 along with other forms of animation, and how to make, "movement of bitmap images" with self drawn house doors, people, etc. with a 3D rendering?

Is it possible to make %26amp; sell games using Visual Basic 6.0?
Yes, it's possible. But DON'T DO IT.





Learn Python and Pygame instead. The Python language is easy to learn and it works on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. So that means your Mac-using friends can play your game too, yay!





Pygame is a library for Python that helps you out when making games. It has collision-detection, sprites, etc. There are some good tutorials, but you really need to learn the language Python first.





The advantage of using Python and Pygame is that you can type in commands at a Python "command-line" and it'll show you the result. For example, enter "2 + 3" and it'll print out "5". So if you're testing something, you have instant results.
Reply:You can surely make games but for selling you need to be in touch with someone else or have your own website.
Reply:If you know visual basic, then you might want to try and create web based games using asp.net


You can still use visual basic programming in asp.net.


The reason I bring this point out is that Microsoft has developed something called silverlight. You can develop in silverlight using visual basic.





In fact, I was at a Microsoft event last night and watched a VB program that utilized silverlight to create a webpage that supported video editing on the web. (It was under 3000 lines of code)
Reply:You probably could make games in VB6. I don't know if anybody would buy a game (that somebody programed) from ebay. You more would have to do some shareware type things. (but I would probably try to do a couple of freeware games just to get feedback).


But with todays games, I don't think you would be able to go very far with VB, or even VB.net (which is more powerful). Except for basic games, that people probably expect to be free. But you can always try for the fun of it!
Reply:C is pretty low level and while a lot of people start with it, I wouldn't. Vb is good but you may want to start smaller and make something like a text game first. Then you could add in the animation later if you wanted.





Also might want to check out java or flash which seems to be the two most common web game languages. The flash games tend to be stupid and simple but fun. Java is a powerful language bug I'm still not sure if its good for games. I don't know vb so maybe it's perfect I'm not sure.
