but i don't know how can i use them in the game. i downloaded the chaaper

patrol sorse, and i found it useful. so, can you give me another sorses? if

they be the trile, will be nice. because i want to learn how can i make

games registrable.

future.)

hi.

really you don't like to learn me?
i'm going to make a company,

"parhamSoft", if anybody can write in visual basic, he can join as a beta

testor or he can help me in writing games. who wants to join us?

2005-04-03 16:08:30

I'd

like to, but I want to learn Vb, but someone should write a better tutorial

of how to write a sample game from start to finish. That would really

help.

Hello,
There are several ways to play sounds in a game; one of the most

common is to use DirectX. You can find DirectX tutorials both on

blindprogramming.com and http://gpwiki.org/index.php/DirectX. If you're

looking for DirectX 9 tutorials (usable only with a .NET language,) try

http://www.gpwiki.org/index.php/VBNET.

hi,

there is not something special there. in the blindprogramming it's not for

the blind and in the other website it says that the page is empty. ok, so,

yourself are writing in VB language? how can you learn it?
thank you,

parham!

Hello,
I use Visual BASIC.NET. There is an excellent book which will teach

you from the beginning called "Learning Visual BASIC.NET." You can get a

copy from Amazon.com, or if you're subscribed to a service such as Web

Braille or Bookshare, they should have it. You will also need an IDE. You

can write your code in a plain text editor such as Windows Notepad and use a

fre compiler, but an IDE really helps find errors and correct them before

you run your code. There is a Visual BASIC IDE you can get from Amazon.com

developed by Microsoft called Visual BASIC.NET Standard 2003. It is sold for

$94.00 US, which is really cheap for VB.NET.

hi.

does this book have the koads for game writing? thanks again!

2005-05-02 17:14:45

Hello,
There are only a handful of books that will focus specifically on

game development. Most if not all of these books, however, assume a moderate

handle on the language in question. You will need to understand the basics

of the language first (object-oriented programming, the syntax of VB.NET,

Etc.) before you can grab a book on game development and really understand

what is being covered.

To make

a game with Direct X you need the SDK, software development kit. The current

version 9 from MS won't work with VB6 if you have that though.

BSC games

has the 8.1 SDK which will work with VB6.

The .net frqamework is for

internet use, don't confuse it with VB .net. Versions of the Microsoft

programming tools after 6 were given a tag .net, the .net framework si

seperate and shouldn't be an issue even for multiplayer.

Within DirectX

tjhere is Direct Sound which offers more options such as stereo or 3D sound

positioning, as well as Direct Input for getting input from keyboard or game

controllers. Ignore Direct Music, it's mostly redundant these days since

everyone uses DirectSound for that. If you want multiplayer there's also

DirectPlay.

DX also has Direct Draw and Direct 3D for graphics, but we

don't need to worry about these.

As to how to modify an open source

game, you need to know the language and the syntax for any SDK or API used,

meaning you'll need to know Direct X in that language. If you mean Audio

Quake it'll probably be written in C or C++.

hey

guys.
this topic was written by me about 2 or 3 months ago, now i learnt

how to write programs lol. but well, it's not bad to read more  manuals,

specially when it's written by munavar!

2005-09-29 06:51:31

OK, OK, a question.
If I'm using VB 6.0 I should use Direct X 8.1,

Well, that's fine, but, the Direct X SDK is something diferent of Direct

X?
If I already have Direct X, Should I download Diret X SDK?
Direct X 8.1

is about 10 megabytes, Direct X 9 is about 40 megabytes, I read that Direct

X SDK is about 130 megabytes, It's right?
OK, thanks and luck.

2005-09-29 09:25:06

Direct

X which you will already have is the runtimes, the bit used for running the

programs. The SDK, or software development kit, is basically a set of

programming guides and a special version of the runtimes whijch help you

locate errors in theory.

The normal runtimes are used by the average

gamer, whereas the SDK is used for development work. Help at all?
