Do people program games in Visual Basic as a hobby anymore?

[The Pentium Guy]

Not to advertise or anything.. but I've had a site for about 5 or 6 years , www.vbprogramming.8k.com with tutorials on game programming with Visual Basic.NET.

Due to lack of time I sort of stopped updating it. But I have so much time on my hands this year it's not even funny. Do people program simple games in VB anymore? A few years ago I knew for a fact this was the language of choice. I still love programming, and programming games.

I'm just wondering do you think the site is worth updating? It's my 5 years of work, so I feel guilty about stopping right here...

Any game programmers on AT? What's your language of choice

VB.NET as a whole is still widely used.

If anything I'd say expand your site while keeping a subsection for gaming specific stuff.

But perhaps break it out into different fields of interest. Most of the programming sites I see don't quite separate their content like that.

As in, seperate sections for AI, Networking, etc? the whole first part is just a primer/introduction to the language I guess...

My main issue is that the tutorials are all interlocked (aka if you didn't do prev one, you might not get the next)...


I guess what I'm really trying to ask is. Should i continue to maintain this site? or is it not worth the effort...?
