VBGamer

okay, heres my question(s) firstly, i want to do pathfinding. i am VERY begginerish (that a word? =) umm... im going to be using 64x48 maps. the obstacles are either there or not there, no inbetween. the problem im having is there are NO tutorials on the net which relate to vb, and alll the others (there are few of them) are in C which i have no idea about. any help here would be appreciated. also, is there a way i can time events more accuratley. specificly, im doing animation, and the standard timer control just doesnt cut it. its highly innacurate. this is annoying when trying to create smooth animation. any ideas?
