    XNA. I too have just started to really write game libraries and it is quite interesting. On a lighter note, try re-creating Call of Duty - Black Ops in VB6 (will blow your brain apart for sure).

    Finally is not executed always. As told by Sir Pete and PiebaldConsult. Go figure.

        Have you not heard of Call of Duty?! :omg: It has to be one of the best selling game series's EVER.

          I used to be a developer in VB [insert sarcastic note here!], and after a couple of years without coding, i feel my mind is getting slower. So i was thinking about a new hobby and start writing games, only to remember how good it felt to solve something and give some healthy work for my brain. I'm not thinking about fancy graphics and anything like that, just in learning the logic to implement some situations (turn by turn battles, etc.) Recommendations are welcome... :-D

          If you want to have real fun, may I recommend Unity[^]? There's a free version to play around with.

              I think, he didn't make much sense of the whole statement. Like writting COD in C#/XNA would be a blast. !

                I’m 48 level with 1800 kills, looking forward to enter the “prestige“ mode sometime this week. My amusement was caused from the usage of COD and VB in one sentence.

                              I agree it would be fun, but not very practical. You'd only be able to use it on the emulator unless you got a phone, which is available from only one carrier for the time being. Not worth buying a new device or switching carriers. Also, from what I've seen the numbers don't look promising, Windows Phone 7 could go the way of the Kin, then you'd be stuck with a game no one can use and a device that isn't supported.

                                  Windows Phone 7 devices are only available non-CDMA networks, just like iPhone. AT&T and T-Mobile are the same, T-Mobile is just the low end version.

                                    Regarding the in-game statistics three weeks ago about 15% of the world population has been killed in the COD servers/numbers wise/. For me it took me about 25 hours game time to get to this level.

                                      Windows Phone 7 devices are only available non-CDMA networks, just like iPhone. AT&T and T-Mobile are the same, T-Mobile is just the low end version.

                                      Ok, I've never used a CDMA phone. I guess you are on Sprint or Verizon then.

                                          Yeah I reckon it's safer to stick with the most popular providers then. Not that I've had bad service from ATT except in some really rural towns where I've lost 3G and sometimes even Edge.
