    Animations .. howto

    Hello there.

    How you can make animations (for games) in VB?

    I want lines to jump arround, or animate/move a caracter? How do I do that?

    You'd properly need some API (bitblt) programming for it.

    An animation is made by displaying the frames of the animation over the top of each other very quickly.

    You'd need the pictures for each frame of the animation and then draw them in sequence in the same place.

    A useful API call to look up is BitBlt...
