Time to port Diablo to Excel

(In case anyone's interested, porting Diablo became stupidly simple recently because someone reverse engineered the entire damn codebase)

@Krokoklemme I think I've seen doom, but not diablo and it was done via old excel exploit where you could take over excel external embeds that microsoft had for some short time, so in theory "in excel" but not really haha

Soon or later someone will do everything in Excel.

I saw Excels connected to MySQL db
I saw Excels sending mails
I saw Excels using REST APIs
I saw Excels lunching a WinForms project

I'm working for a cg professor and his postdoc told me that once there was actually a student used vb to do Ray tracing in Excel. It's not that hard if you know Ray tracing in c++, it's just the level of wtf that baffled many people.

@Haxk20 link to it? also you'd be surprised how many of my posts went to shit that I've deleted, because of similar reasons :) (e. g. derailed into sexism)

@JoshBent I was hoping to code the whole HTTP exchanges ;p

Now it’s not different then doing it in c#. Just need a little abstraction and some JSON parser

It can. You can create a OpenGL context, so you can run whatever you want ;p

@NoToJavaScript You officially killed the fun. Or Microsoft did. They built everything so we have nothing left to do. Seriously, why isn't there C# macro support yet?

@Lor-inc you can !

1. Build a .Net class lib exposing classes/methods.
2. Call it from VBA like any other dll
