Here is my advice

Dont use Visual Basic!

It is a single threaded architecture and it is bound to fail. Use .net c#

Suggest C.

Telix SALT II is almost identical and has many good tw scripts on the web. SALT has a major deficiency tho - no arrays. Would be very simple to edit SALT scripts to incorporate arrays if a helper were written in C.

It is wonderful that your wanting to help the community with a helper. I don't want to discourage but I can offer some advice as I have attempted the creation of a helper only to realize all the work it would need and low profits!

I would not use Visual Basic, but this may be the only language you know. I wish someone would make one using the wxWidgets library (C, C++ based). I did not want to code the Terminal emulator myself so I found a Delphi library.

As far as data layout I really like the way this individual approached the encapsulation of Tradewars into Java:

Take care and happy coding...

If you do use Visual Basic, then make sure you use VB.net, that is better than the VB6 and VB5, it is a cleaner language and a bit faster than its predicessors, but in reality you need to try c, c++, or c#.
