    question about games

    Hi,

    What is the best way I can draw graphics for a game?
    with GDI+ it's pretty slot when it draws my map.

    with vb6 I could use directdraw/blt, but what do you use for this in visual basic 2010 express?

    thanks

    You might want to look into XNA. This was originally C# only, but it is now available for VB, and may be the best way to go for the graphics you are interested in.

    Yes I know XNA (already made games with that). But is there another way?
