Vb.Net Tetris..Can anyone help me start?

[|2eM!x]

Id like to learn some game programming, if anyone could show me some tutorials or how I should do it I would be very appreciative. I cant find any direct x tutorials for vb.net anywhere...

Thanks man, I checked out the pong source..It doesnt run on my vb.net 2005. It tells me the character $ is invalid (Why does he use it everywhere anyways??) and when i replace it, it tells me the namespaces are invalid....I dont know what to do with it..

Heck Id just like a simple tutorial to get me started, moving objects around and such. Why does everything have to be complicated?

all you have to do is a simple find and replace on all of the direct x samples ...im assuming its called "Tiny Tennis" . Find and replace all the doller signs with nothing. you have to click this throughout the whole project . I think there is a control to find and replace somthing for the whole project , but not sure.

I did this, then there are numerous errors throughout the project...

i could send you the project or upload it somewhere it works fine for me mayb find and replace did somehting wrong or you have folder names mixed up. try the msdn site download directly where it is and then replacing the $ signs again. (https://www.upgradeyourgame.com/secure/resources#level1)

Thanks man, that new version works good. Unfortunately it isnt direct X like I was hoping for..
