#Linux is so fucking cool. A few years ago, I tried to install #VisualBasic 5 on a windows 7 machine and eventually had to install an entire #win98 #VM to get it running.
Meanwhile, in #Linux land... Incredible nostalgia

Who started their programming journey with Visual Basic?

It sounds about right, though IDK about the $$$ part.
The only "error"/deviation I ever saw, if I remember correctly, was when the formula for counting cells with content started to count "" [nothing/empty] like " " and "0", erroneously as 1.
Old formulae (usually) continue working. Some time back, I had to verify that the calculations in a spreadsheet from 1995 were still correct. They were (b/c of now posterior human intervention 
.)
#VisualBasic,...
VA3KZR as of 2023-12-09
Started with #Commodore Vic-20 - at school, we learned graphical #LOGO on PETS and Apple IIe's... crashed the school Unisys ICON network far too often...
Headed to college, *thought* I would be heavily involved in, electronics design, and engineering - instead, it was #programming.
First was #VisualBasic 1.0; next, Borland #Delphi 1.0 / #ObjectPascal - still dabble with #FreePascal #Lazarus, a smidge of #Java, a lot of #CSharp and some #Python.
Any #DotNet #CSharp #VisualBasic developers in the room? I want to start learning it, and I'm having a bad time on what to choose for starters. Taking into account that I'm on Linux, can I really do that? And do I have to use Mono, .NET, anything else? And, C#, Visual Basic, both, neither? I'm a bit confused. Thanks! :)
OK then, time for an #introduction
Hi, I'm Andy. I started my technology journey with a ZX Spectrum 48K. I learned #BASIC. Later I moved up to the Spectrum 128K +2. A few years before starting college, I taught myself #VisualBasic 5 in the bath (I didn't have a PC, just a book). My first computer was a Cyrix 686. At college I learned #HTML (not CSS that wasn't really a thing). Since then I have taught myself #PHP and #Javascript and I have a million courses on Udemy to learn other stuff.
Hello! I am Armando, I’m a professional photographer who briefly worked with Google and Redfin. I graduated from Sacramento State with my BA in Sociology. I have CS experience and can program in #JAVA and #VisualBasic. I also build my own computers and follow the tech world very closely.
My main game right now is #Fortnite Save the World, my old main game was #Overwatch.
Because of covid I stopped photographing events, I do not want to a part of the spread.

With the background bug solved, I have moved on to writing buggy bird AI.
I believe this to be a 1-2-1 port from #VisualBasic to #TypeScript however the birds almost always go from their spawn point (red circle) to the bottom of the map instead of wandering towards their exit point (green circle).

I seem to have a bug in my #VisualBasic to #TypeScript port.
This is most likely down to me getting confused between cols/rows/width/height/x/y throughout the code.
I am manipulating the image data of a canvas directly and my idx lookup is probably wrong.
