I've got it all ready-to-go in Visual Basic, but I can't get the program to let me export it as a .EXE. Anyone know how?

Nice GUI.

Unfortunately, I have no VB experience. If the Visual Basic editor is anything like Visual C++ editor, it should be right in the menus.

If it's anything like VC++ it should be in the 'build' menu or something similar.

Well, make sure you have the main form open and save everything. Other than that, I dunno, s'always worked for me.

------------------

Make sure it's as a project and not just a file or something.

Here is what you do.....
To make the *.exe file
1) open project
2) make sure a form is open
3) file -> Make [file].exe

Apparently, the version of the software that came with my book doesn't support that feature, so I'm going to try my campus network's version of the software.

The 'educational' version of VB doesnt let you compile anything to .exe. Which, kinda, sorta, defeats the whole point of having a compiler in the first place, but thats just another fine example of Microsoft's ""better"" ideas......

------------------
Back in Black...

The C++ learning edition compiler lets you make .exe... wait um never mind

------------------

C++ > VB but this program would have been much larger if written in C++.

Well, I found out from my TA that, since my declared major is Computer Science, I get Microsoft Visual Studio for free, which includes the full version of this software (whee!).

Not if you do it right...

------------------

Woah, I'm majoring in Computer Science... maybe I'll get something like that.

Which will be good, I need a Windows C++ compiler if I hope to write any decent C++.

Website is working again. (Somewhat.)

Yes it does...... it is under the file menu.
and I have made *.exe files with VB.....
And VB compiles you coding in real time.
It just do not have the power of C\C++.

Plus VB is a easier programming language because it was made for people with little or no programming experience.
And making an APP with VB is easier. and doing something like Wolfy app is perfect for VB because it is very simple to code in VB.

in C\C++ this would involve 1000+ lines of coding. and Debuging would be a B!tch to do.

A function would have to be written for every single one of those radio buttons if done in MFC. It would be even longer using SDK (aka C-style). You would have to process each button's message. Although I am sure there is (are) an algorithm(s) to process such message maps more efficiently.

CWizard *pWizard=new CWizard("Gandalf","white",2021);
pWizard->EnableWizard(TRUE);

It doesn't. Trust me on this.

Try GCC. You'll thank me later.

In any situation where I appear to be false, I assure you I am correct. In such a case, it is, in fact, reality that is mistaken.

I hope you're not also saying it would be larger in file size? Especially since you have to distribute like 5 MB of runtime DLLs to run anything VB.

I like Java's ease of GUI and graphics and it being cross-platform more readily than other languages, but hauling around the VM with your software is **** annoying.

Where do you go Wolfy? Cause I'm pretty sure we don't get that at my Uni. Heck, we've lost so much money. They're trying to raise $1 billion by 2005. Fat chance.

Do you think you could make one of those programs for the Star Wars D6 rules?

Really? Hudson 430 - come by some time. If I'm not there, just leave your phone number on the board.



Oh, man...I'm afraid not. The D6 system follows some very different system rules - such as, the races all have maximums/minimums for ability scores, and then there's the fact that you advance your scores through your XP, and not your level...

It'd be like trying to make one for Werewolf/Changeling/Vampire...
