Offering equal parts theory and hands-on exercises, the chapters in this book begin with a discussion of completing a task using Visual Basic, and then move on to enhancing the code. The final section of the book is devoted to developing complete games, including a 3D arcade game, a multiplayer space combat game, and more. Ideal for readers who are new to game programming or simply new to Visual Basic, this book offers everything readers need to create amazing games by combining the hidden power of Visual Basic with DirectX.
Game programming is without a doubt the most intellectually challenging field of computer science in the worldHowever, we would be fooling ourselves if we said that we are 'serious' people! Writing (and reading) a game programming book, should be an exciting adventure for both the author and the reader. Andre LaMothe, Series Editor
