Microsoft Visual Basic Game Programming for Teens

Greetings! This book teaches you how to create your own role-playing game (RPG) using Visual Basic and DirectX. I teach you, step-by-step, how to construct each part of the game using DirectX components such as Direct3D. If you think RPGs are fun to play, wait until you start working on your very own! Constructing an RPG is far more interesting than playing one, because you are in complete control over the RPG world, and you can let your imagination loose to create adventures for others to enjoy. download
