I am looking and for a programming language that has the “Basic like” script and look very alike to old Visual Basic 6.

@Panagiotis_Spiliotopoulos

I am looking for a programming language that can design native window forms applications but to have and strong game abilities like other game related programming language has.

About the requierements:
With xojo you can easily create (mostly) native window forms, unfortunatelly, in the last couple of years they decided to rename the keywords (api 2), so it is not as close as vb as it once was. About the game abilities… Out of the box are very limited. Dont expect great performance without hacks and/or system declares.

@Panagiotis_Spiliotopoulos

it is very difficult to find examples, solutions in Google because its community is tiny.

Most of the users that created tutorials and other xojo related content have left the community, close their sites, blogs and communities. and with the “api 2”, most of the online content is outdated. Including the older threads of this forum.

The “This is a test” is a label with transparent background (Sometimes it is flicking).

xojo does not like overlapping controls, nor transparent ones. Expect a LOT of flickering and really low framerates if you do that.

How do I load an external font? (A new question).

There are some Bugs with that functionality. The bug reports are from 3 to 5 years ago, All of them are already closed so it looks like they won’t be fixed.
