Maybe, are you doing the wowie jam? I'm making a 3d horror game, for the jam.
Visual Basic is based on BASIC, which is well... a basic programming language. Python is amazing also, if you want to feel like you know something important learn python. Python can do anything, just slow. That's where C++ comes in; it can do almost (almost) everything python can but faster. And you responded to me at 12:00 XD.
