Since foone is making trend, just a reminder to check out my fun projects, if you want. Including the OpenGL demo and the GDI-based raycaster, (see hashtag for source link): https://mastodon.social/@indigoparadox/113360125091578147

It's not VB6 but VB4 is just as good IMO. Even better, since it can run in Windows 3.x!

Did everyone just know the PictureBox control in could print variable-formatted text and just not tell me?

What fun! The text isn't selectable because it's basically a bitmap, and when it scrolls downward past the bottom it's lost, but it's colorful and can have pictures and be interactive! This is Multimedia!

Thank you to Jarol Scott's Visual Basic 4 Multimedia Adventure Set! What a fascinating book with some real neat ideas for me to take and make even weirder!

Screenshot of my Visual Basic 4 raycaster, but the log window is showing debug messages in red and the maid's test sentence "This is an extremely long line of text. It should wrap around and display as multiple lines in the adventure log. If it doesn't then something has gone wrong!" is wrapping after the word "log" and her name (Maid) is in blue!
