Discussion / GDI+
« on: July 19, 2015, 04:15:05 pm »
I've been using game maker since I could remember. I'm wanting to branch out to something where my skills can contribute to the computer software field at large. I've taken college courses on Java, C#, C, and Visual Basic (oddly no C++).
I've been thinking of getting http://www.amazon.com/Visual-Basic-Game-Programming-Teens/dp/1435458109 just to get my feet wet. I see that the author uses VB with Windows Forms and GDI+.
Is GDI+ still widely compatible (Windows 8, and possibly 10 for instance)?
I really like that the author uses D&D systems for combat, and teaches using VB to create your own editors is another plus.
What do you guys think?
