Re: How to write Games in Visual Basic Spodi (0 replies, 1014 views) (2003-Nov-23) I dunno, I think there are plenty of tutorials on how to do nearly anything a beginner 'should' do. Most people who ask for help on where to start VB programming is "How do I make a really cool game?". Since as Tristan said, most people who start VB just want to make the next best MMORPG in days. I personally never took any classes or used any of my 2 books I have sitting here (besides to check the value range of long or something) so I just learned from www.pscode.com and www.directx4vb.com, and a year and a half later with no effort involved, I started making my own engine. (most of that time was spent playing games =P)
I think most new programmers just want to make a huge game with no effort, nor put any effort into learning. Seems like no matter how many times you say "No!" or "Sit!" or "Bad human, bad!, they just ignore you =(
So, after all of this ranting, I think that you should write this, Mike, only if you can really benifit from it. If you really go into specifics, you can probably teach yourself a ton on not how to just use the operations and methods, but where they come from and what they mean. |
