Microsoft Visual Basic Game Programming for Teens, 2nd Ed
by Jonathan S. Harbour
Published September 2007
Average Rating: [unrated]
If you have basic programming experience, this book is your ideal guide
for writing games using Visual Basic .NET and Managed DirectX 9. This
Second Edition includes almost entirely new coverage. While coverage of
game design and 2D artwork remain, this edition includes more detailed
coverage of the DirectX game code and utilizes the free Visual Basic 2005
Express Edition compiler. A true beginner's guide, this book covers each
essential step for creating your own complete role playing game, including
a character creation screen and a combat system. This book serves as a
comprehensive introductory guide for readers who are new to programming or
new to programming for games.
