VB6? That's... the awesome kind of crazy. How does the converter deal with the VB6 runtime that had to be distributed?

Oh dude, this brings back some memories... but I have to admit, for long time there was nothing except VB6 if you wanted to put together GUI apps with very little code and a WYSIWYG GUI designer.

I've just checked on Windows 10, and yup, MSVBVM60.dll is still part of the OS install - the mind boggles. This is classic MS - providing support for as long as they can, where they can.

Of course I'm not sure how the UWP Bridge would work if your VB6 app referenced a bunch of old school .OCXs though, as typically even the self registering ones need to write to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE part of the Registry, which the Bridge docs say is a complete no-no.

When I was about 12 my father gave me a copy of VB6.

I used form and image controls to made a pixel based tiled fighting game. Not an actual game engine. Just a horrible hack that actually worked and I was proud of it. It was one of those things that helped me get into programming.

(I still have a copy of it.)

I remember implementing a Conway's Game of Life in VB6 with a grid view's cell background colors. Good times.
