wanting to make a bot

[iago]

Anyway, back to your original question.  It has been answered before, but I'll answer it again anyway.

Is there a library nearby you can get books from?
Do you live near a university?  The libraries there are much nicer, but you would have to sit inside it and read, since you wouldn't be able to get a card from there.

You can get example code from www.pscode.com, but you would need a compiler.  If you want to learn C++ (it's harder, but better eventually), there are plenty of free ones, like Dev-C++, but if you want visual basic it's harder.  There was a free version of VB release called VB 6.0 CCE, or Control Creation Edition.  It's limited, and you can't output to .exe files, but it's a legal free version.  And, like I've said before, I neither support nor condone piracy, but I won't stop you from trying.

That being said, I have a lot of eBooks for VB or C++ or anything else that I can download/send you if you have icq or msn or aim.  My contact information is at the left ( <--- ) if you want to add me to your list on any of them.

Hope this helps!

I don't live near any univerisities or anything so I can't go to the library there and the library in my town has like books which are soooo old so I'm not even going to try to look there and I'm on the VB explorer site right now but I am not finding how where to start at it so pretty well I would have to buy a book in Toronto which is the largest city close to me but it takes an hour to get there.  So I am going to ask people here or search the web.
Thanks for the Help

Well, you can do what I did and get a QBasic book.  Spend a week, learn QBasic well.  The skills you learn there translate very nicely to Visual Basic, I found.

Hey everyone can you all start responding to my other subject, Learning VB.  I got some questions over there so if you don't mind...
Thanks

whatever sorry mindfyre but u dissed me cuz i talk in slang lol

They call it "slang" now?  i've always referred to that as "idiot", but that's just me.  And yes, even in grade 8 I talked in complete sentences and spelled correctly, because I know that if I didn't, people would look down on me.  It's hard enough to make a good impression when you're younger, but why make it more difficult?  

You'll quickly find that you have to earn respect here, there aren't any easy answers.

You may have learned spelling, not grammar though.

As to 13-yr-Old-Newb, I'd recommend downloading Visual Basic from somewhere other than Microsoft.  I'm almost possitive that the version you are downloading is just a trial version & will have some type of restrictions.

Let me give you an example by what iago means as "complete sentences."  This paragraph theoretically translates into:

I don't live near any universities or anything, so I can't go to the library there.  The library in my town has books which are so old, I'm not even going to try to look there.  I'm on the VB explorer site right now, but I am not finding how or where to start at it.  So, I figure I'd have to buy a book in Toronto, which is the largest city close to me -- but it takes an hour to get there.  So I am going to ask people here, or continue searching the web.

Do you see how adding the punctuation makes this paragraph infinitely more readable?  I think I maybe changed three our four words out of the whole thing - only adding a few periods, taking out your run-on "ands," and I even included a dash for kicks.

Just trying to help.  :-)

I wanna make a bot but i have to learn a language first.  Im in gr 8 and im pretty good on computeres(thats like all i do) so i figure y not.  I should try to make a bot.  Im not trying to make anything to complicated just something that can connect to bnet.  then when im done that start expanding.  could someone please tell me where i can start.  if you could that would be great

You are just like everyone else who wants to start making bots, you ask us for some help on making something that connects to Battle.net then you want this, than that AND MORE AND MORE. It never stops. They want channel list and icons and suddenly you are showing these new bot makers how to do 0ms. STOP THE MADNESS !!!!!!!

Why don't you shut the fuck up? He's here trying to learn and your here trying to make your self like you know more then he does. You've been praticing Visual Basic for quite a certain amount of months and you still don't know how to use a timer chr0nic? Don't try and bash on him ok, chr0nic. Everyone has a starting point.

Hello and welcome to the forums.

First I'd like to say, shame on the warez link

Next, you'll encounter several hurdles posting here as a newbie. Here are some tips to avoid being flamed:

- Try it yourself first. Experiment; never ask "will this work," try it yourself, and if it doesn't work, ask
- Post the section of code you're having trouble with and the troubles you're having with it. (use code tags!)
- Don't demand anything because no one here owes anyone jack shit
- Don't make two posts after each other unless you have to. You can modify your existing post if you forgot to add something.

I would stay, start off with Python: www.python.org. It's just like a graphing calculator on steroids.

My bad, I saw that 13-yr-Newb was getting upset at not finding a good copy of Visual Basic so I tried to help, I didn't show the link, people don't have to look if they don't want to.

Is this a standard thing you say, Storm, to all newbies?  

Something else I've found is helpful here is, when I'm asking, "Well why doesn't this work," and I proceed to discuss my algorithm, I'll find the problem, try a fix, and boom, I'm set.  Don't just be mindlessly typing your problem - be interactive with yourself in trying to solve it.

The part about Python is. It's way better for newbies than VB, IMO.
