VBGamer

Okay, I didn't really understand the first part *g* I guess health potions are always nice =) I like what Dungeon Siege is doing, where when you drink a potion you only drink enough to heal yourself or restore your mana, if there's more in the bottle then its left there after you drink it. Don't know if I explained that very well. You can use VB for just about everything *g* Although you didn't say whether you were using DirectDraw or D3D ... If you're using Dx7 and DirectDraw, consider using David's vbDABl for translucencies, it's quite good =) You can also use C++ dlls for any really math intensive stuff.
