Mirage Source

So this is a little project i'm doing just to learn Visual Basic 6.0 a little more. It's also something to do since my Mirage Source doesn't want to work on my computer. I hope for this to evolve into something bigger as the days progress.

Screen Shots:

Just the beginning screen

Opening a saved character

Creating a character, It now writes your Player Name and Race

More to come!

Features:
Character Customization (DONE)
Save and Load character files (DONE)
Simple GUI done with picboxes(DONE)
Items
Levels and Stats
Experience
Monsters

Things I may add if I can code it:
NPC's
Quest System
Skills

This will be a basic little MUD with a few cool features.

Make the GUI look better.

I'm working on all that. Right now i'm just trying to get the code straight. I'm learning as I'm going of course. I'll try to get a little GUI up later.

No, as in place the controls in a place where they look good.

At the moment they look like a 5 year old just dragged a button onto the form and did nothing else to make it look aesthetically pleasing.

Well like I said, I'm just starting the project and i'm trying to get the coding settled. Sorry if you think otherwise.

GUI is almost always one of the last things to work on. Functionality comes first, because if he adds more buttons or other design elements, it would break any GUI he made before.

Well, I kind of worked out a new GUI and all. It looks alright. At least that was my friends opinion. I'm going to upload the screen shots now.

You say it's gonna be a MUD, so does that mean you're gonna make it online?

Attempt it. I need to learn a little Winsock before I cant tempt that.

is this a game or an engine? sorry im not sure

A game. A MUD, specifically.

Watch the post dates. . .

OK, Its been awhile since i've updated and I figured i'd start off by saying this. I'm quite sorry for never continuing the project. What happened was I started playing WoW and now i've just moved out of my dads house to live with my Mother at 17. Now not having to really pay for anything and quitting my job tomorrow or should i say in a few hours I have decided to start coding once more. :]

A friend of mine has promised to dev and write great material as long as I got it to the point code wise where he could. So once again this project has been revived and i'm quite stoked.

Cheers.

Welcome back
