so I am trying to make a Text-Based game in notepad to experiment with it, so I made a error message script, put it in a folder, saved it as a VBS file, then ran it as a java SE binary file. It still has bugs to fix, so ill do it when I can.
Tell me what you think pl0x!

how are we supposed to tell you what we think of it if it only exists on your desktop screen

Hater !
perhaps I should elaborate.
notepad is something that we can all use to type in courier and not feel awkward
it's something we can use to make ourselves feel okay with rich text format!
it's something we can use to make html documents and then cry because if you really knew anything about html you would use something else
it just feels wrong to try to give it some purpose besides the ones mentioned and making vbscripts to freak out siblings/friends/parents/classmates

Alrighty.
1) Programming languages aren't code that is directly interpreted by the computer; in most cases it must pass through a compilation process.
2) .VBS is most likely the extension for "Visual Basic Source" code files. You won't be able to run it as a Java binary, because it isn't compiled and it obviously isn't Java.
You should try writing your program in the Visual Studio IDE (assuming you used MS Visual Basic syntax).

Sorry, that's not what I think. I wanted to try something. If you think I'm stupid for using notepad, poor you.

Ok. So you're saying that it won't run unless I compile it?

Yes, with the right tools to do so. You really should look up a Visual Basic tutorial that teaches you how to set up the enviroment to program in the language, and then use it.

actually .vbs is vbscript, an actual scripting language
if you write your code in semantically correct vbscript, you should just be able to double-click on it and it will run

Wow, I stumbled across that, but I had no idea VBScript was available by default since Win98.

Cool idea. I tried this a while back using Java and I found that the text in the Notepad document didn't update until Notepad was closed and reopenned. This was kind of a hassle. Have you gotten it to work?
No. I still need to write the commands for it.
