Hello
I recreated one of the first programs I ever wrote with Visual Basic 6, also being one of the first programs I ever made, back in 2007 - 2008.
I made the code publicly available here: https://github.com/rokyed/lucky7-gambas
TLDR;
While searching the web for Visual Basic 6 as of a nostalgic recollection. I stumbled on Gambas 3 which blew my mind away, as it feels so much like Visual Basic 6, I now know that the original author of Gambas doesn't want it to be Visual Basic and I totally respect that!!
After now 7 years of professional experience, I'm trying to remember how to use properly Basic for Gambas 3. I don't know yet what use I might have for Gambas, but eh, it sparks a joy in me, to do some code as a hobby in it.
I will continue to explore and figure out how and if I can contribute, I know right now is too early, but I can see this project on the scale of Scratch where kids can learn it and become proficient programmers.
TLDR end;
Thank you very much!! Hope you like it.
