there are no stupid questions... how ever there are repeated questions ;)

but, to answer your quesiton, no. you should learn c++ anyway though. it will help you grow strong and healthy.

Unless you port the whole engine, and somehow get it to recompile to form a visual basic object (forgetting the name), you can only use the engine w/ c and c++. That i know of at least, maybe someone has ported it to other languages that i don't know of.

It wouldn't require a port, just a wrapper.

And, no, no one has made such a wrapper. C++ is the primary language, though there is the VENOM that does Python bindings.

Crud, how do I do this again?
