Numsgil:
VB6 is "Visual basic 6".  It's what Darwinbots is programmed in.  If you grab the source code from the repository, and run it in the IDE (integrated development environment, I think that's what it stands for anyway) you should be able to step through code and see why it's failing.  But something tells me that's probably a bit more involved than you want to get.

Trilobite:
Haha, I wouldn't mind getting that involved. I'm just pretty certain I wouldn't know how.

If you'd be willing to tell me I'd be willing to listen, but I understand if it would take up a lot of your time and I wouldn't want to be a burden. Maybe it's something that might require a bit self-study, as I don't know any code languages (if that's what they're called) or even how they work..

Numsgil:
You can download VB6 clicky.  There's a wealth of information on google.  Basically you load the iesara.vdb (or something like that) project file.  Then there should be a "go" or "execute" button somewhere.  You can also set "breakpoints" in the code to halt the program when it gets to a certain place and then visually inspect variables and even step the code to figure out what's wrong.

This is a little trickier since it doesn't involve a crash, but rather a non working function.  But yeah, if you get comfortable with the IDE a bit, and look around the code a bit, things should make a little more sense.

You can grab the code from the SVN repository.  That's a whole other can of worms, but basically you get a client (I use SmartSVN) and download the source to somewhere local (say, c:\DarwinbotsSource).

Sorry I don't have time to really go over everything in depth.  I might be able to answer specific questions, though.

Houshalter:
Is visual basic like actual Basic?

Trilobite:
Thanks for the link and info.  It might take me a while to digest all that and get a hang of it, I'll post any questions as they come.
