Spammers, cleaners, and texture removers are great for starting out with VB. Unfortunately VB isn't great for starting out in hacking. Might want to consider putting VB on hold and begin learning C++. I think VB creates "lazy coders" but that's just my opinion. None of this is a shot at you. I've coded in B. Yes I'm old but not that old. I've been using VB for over a decade now and I do have a background in C languages. I wish I had learned C before VB. So that's the knowledge I can pass on to you.
