Is it possible to create a scripting system for games using visual basic?
Also, I need help learning how to scroll my tiles to make my maps larger than what you can see on screen.

Of course you can

Oh, click here for a scolling demo.

For what Kind of game do you want to create a scripting system? And what do you want to be manipulated?

If you just want to do easy stuff like chanching the values of variables it's no problem just to define some small commands like
change Life = 100 or sth like this

but if you want to program things to create script for NPC behaviour it can get hard.

I'm using vb4 and I need help with scrolling. The scripting would be used to create weapon effects and player classes and so on.

What kind of scrolling just movin a picture from right to left again and again?

like: (pseudo)
x=0
y=0
do
draw bitmap to x,y
draw bitmap to x+bitmapbreite,y

x= x-1
if x <= -bildbreite then x = 0
loop until exit
