Frequently asked questions and answers:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Q: Why Visual Basic 6? What is wrong with you?
- A: A lot of things are wrong with us (us being the development team). We chose Visual Basic 6 to develop our emulator for a couple of reasons:
* Legacy support (VB 6 supports new and old operating systems)
* Low amount of runtimes (instead of requiring entire framework packages like VB .NET, VB6 only requires small runtimes like WinSock, etc...)
* Low memory and CPU usage
* Most comfortable language for me and the other developers
* Powerful language (You can do anything in VB 6 that anyone can do in C++, C, Delphi, C#, VB .NET, etc...)
- Q: How many people are working with you on the project?
- A: Math wasn't really my strong subject in school. I think I was mentally gone for adding/subtracting numbers in pre-school. Serious answer: 3 really active developers, 2 nabs that commit every once in a while.
- Q: Do you guys have a website?
- A: No, basic HTML surpasses the capacity of my brain (lolololololololololol... We have not had the time to work on a website.)
- Q: What kind of developers are you searching for?
- A: We need people that know VB6 pretty well. You will be working with advanced stuff such as WinSock controls, encryption/decryption in VB6, etc...
We are NOT looking for slaves - erhhmm.. database workers. Please don't waste 2 seconds of my time deleting an unnecessary email from my inbox.
