O.K. but, don't be afraid of the TrueVision engine: It is not going to be C++. There will be two versions of the TrueVision engine, a VB version an a C++ version. I know this, because I am one of the guys that port TrueVision to C++. ;) You are right, VB is very powerful. It is the best choice for many things. But there are a lot of things that are heavy to do or impossible for VB (such as some Shell Extensions, Service programming, Drivers etc.) But as I said, combine these things and you've got a real weapon. :) For those pointers: You've got something like them in VB too, but you don't recognize that. References are nearly the same as pointers. But pointer handling in VB is much easier than in C++ (O.K. it is very easy in C++ too, of you once get the point ;) Don't care about that C++ evolution that comes to the VB community, We will all have a profit of it, even the guys that don't know any C++. So let's all write great stuff in VB and C++ and make a real experience for those game freaks out there that want to play really cool games (they don't care what language it was written in :) With best wishes, Torsten
