I have completed a translation of the original Demeter 1.x Visual Basic
source code to C++. I believe it is now to the point where version 2.0
is almost totally compatible in behavior with Demeter 1.x.

A small test group will be put together to verify that Demeter 2.0
behaves as expected. Interested testers should contact me by email.
(drsquailboont at gmail.com)

The public release of Demeter 2.0 will be determined later.

Thanks,

Coming from someone who probally has no experience in either C++ or Visual
Basic.

Only kidding.. it's beyond me if you can program or not.

It doesn't take a programmer to know that VB sucks.....

I could blow a badly programmed C++ tool out the water with VB.

VB has many other advantages too, the problem is that a *lot* of its
programmers are n00bs so it got a bad reputation. The main problem VB has is
its lack of advanced OO and WinProc handling.

I have a vb programmed chat bot that has less than a 1ms delay, from time to
get the info from server process it and relay it back. Even 56k users cant
notice the difference. And the bot is running in the interpreter its not
even a complete compile, AND active worlds is open, along with many other
things.

Little do people know that C++ and VB both compile to the same
"meta-language" before being translated into assembly, and then binary.
This is true of Microsoft compilers with default options.

It is not the language that matters, it is the underlying concepts and
understanding. If you understand the concepts, and how the computer
operates, adopting a new language should not be very difficult, it is just a
matter of syntax. The language is really only an issue when conceptually
the language you are trying to use can not easily accomplish the desired
task. An example would be trying to make true sentient artifical
intelligence in C++.

Are you running the world server on the same machine?

Usually, if the world server is local, delays are practically cut out
completely.
