Pocket Tanks Programming Language?

What programming language is pocket tanks written in? I think its written in C++ or Visual basic.

I'd be interesting to know... probably C++, as I doubt anything written in VB would port to the Mac well. But I could be wrong. Either way, C++ is sort of the norm for programmers, unless you're doing web apps (or have some crazy interest in Java o_O).

What I'd like to know is the coding algorithm for the physics of it all... how the shot is fired, is affected by gravity and wind, etc... there's gotta be some crazy physics equation in there somewhere.

Maybe I should go before I relive highschool physics class nightmares. XD

Though I did once beat my physics teacher at PT... shareware version, that is...

It's almost imposible to get that kind of speed out of VB.

Mike already said that it was written with Visual C++ 5.0 anyway...

Does anyone know a good tutorial to learn C++, I have Visual Studio and want to learn.

I recommend that you invest in Walter Savitch's book "Absolute C++". I'm a computer science major, and that book was how I started learning to program, and it's great. Definitly worth the $50-80

I agree, it's a good book.

Here's a link to the 2nd edition on Amazon.
