Is it possible make a simple 2D game in VBScript?

Question

I am using Windows. I know that VBScript and the actual visual basic program are not the same based on capability but is it still possible to make a simple 2D game like a Mario game in VBScript with sprites and what not?

I wanted to know because what I like about VBScript is that it is on every Windows computer, so no installation required.

Answer 1

At the minimum you would have to make use of an HTML gui to even be able to render anything 'visible' with your VBscript. Vbscript can use GDI+, but at a very basic level as well. While technically i this is possible, it would be severly limiting and an extreme headache.

If you looking to create games without installation, why not look towards web development such as Flash, Javascript, or Silverlight? None of these require (much) install, and they are for the most part cross platform as well.

Answer 2

This isn't VBScript but it uses a batch file. You can make a simple quiz game on notepad. Link: http://www.wikihow.com/Build-a-Simple-Computer-Game-Using-Batch-Script

Answer 3

You can create a simple quiz game using vbscript

msgbox("Welcome to quiz game created by Arun Haridas")
ans=inputbox("What is 5+3")
if ans = "8" Then msgbox("Currect answer") else msgbox("Wrong answer")
ans=inputbox("What is 10-3")
if ans = "7" Then msgbox("Currect answer") else msgbox("Wrong answer")
ans=inputbox("What is the official language of India")
if ans = "Hindi" Then msgbox("Currect answer") else msgbox("Wrong answer")
msgbox("Thanks for playing the quiz game")
