Maybe if they were C/C++.

I lost interest in VB 2 years ago.

Out of curiosity, why has battle.net programming lost appeal to you?  Is it because there aren't so many updates on the protocol being done as there used to?  Also, what are you programming for now?  Another game, community, company?
Partially.  I liked to try and do as much of it myself as I could...but now that it's almost entirely documented and there's very little "new" left...eh.  It also seems to be just repetition now.  I end up doing the same thing every time, maybe changing a little, when I write the connection bits...it's quite dull.  I've moved on to not so much programming, I'm focusing mostly on school, but in my extra time I play games and work mostly in PHP.

QuoteBattle.net has inspired me to learn more about programming, and I still find it a bit fun to do in my free time (as you probably noticed, I wrote another bot, but it took me 4 months to make whereas a couple years ago it'd probably take me a weekend to do the same thing).
Same thing here..

QuoteAnyway, why did you wait until you "quit battle.net programming" to distribute these program sources?  Do they utilize everything you know about battle.net and are released finally now for others to learn off of because you're done learning about battle.net?
A few of them have been uploaded for a while to various places, and others I just never felt compelled to release.  QuikBot was only partially done by me, so I waited a while to release that.  Some of the others have been open for a while, but I never just "announced" to such a large community.

Anyway....I still program, just not for Battle.Net.  I started writing a simple chat protocol a while back, and I dabble with that every now and then, but other than that, as I said, it's mostly websites.
Grif: Yeah, and the people in the red states are mad because the people in the blue states are mean to them and want them to pay money for roads and schools instead of cool things like NASCAR and shotguns.  Also, there's something about ketchup in there.

Well, I hope you'll continue to share your experience and expertise with the community.  :)
QuoteEvery generation of humans believed it had all the answers it needed, except for a few mysteries they assumed would be solved at any moment. And they all believed their ancestors were simplistic and deluded. What are the odds that you are the first generation of humans who will understand reality?

After 3 years, it's on the horizon.  The new JinxBot, and BN#, the managed Battle.net Client library.
