Is it possible to create another compiler through VB? If not, what language is good for creating a whole new compiler. I don't care if I have to learn assembly, I just want to learn how to create a compiler! Like, how was C++ created? Most compilers are not really good for making games, too many outside sources are needed. And those compilers that are directed into making a game, are not that powerful, or slow, or just have no customiziblity. (For example, Klik and Play). Yea, there are some good game compilers out there, but they cost way too much. Any direction, links, tutorials, or just some general info would be highly appreciated! Thanks, -cuzzle
