What is the best way to make a game as in grpahics?
what type code do you use that is fairly simple, and doesnt require lalot of ram. I dont want a 28mb RAM rock game again.
Also, animated gif's, can we get these in VB?
I am currently making a car game, where you race over the network/internet.
it needs a good set of code to run efficiently tho.
if its fullscreen DX is the best way. In the DX I don'T know if it would make any sense to use animated gifs.. if it's windowed I would rather use BitBlt with custom animations instead of animated gifs...
how do you do the car physics and what's wrong wiht a 30MB app? I have never checked on my games but since they are fullscreen I don'T mind them using up 30MB of ram.
sry thats a typo there,Quote:

it needed 128mb of ram to run properly.
DOnt know what i di wrong tho
maybe you should try not to load every single graphic you will ever need at a time but only the ones likely to be used soon
yes, i shal take that into account.
When i did it i was using bitblt but it was in a module, the new peice of code i got has bitblt in a form, plus loads the needed file straight onto a variable.
We will see how it goes tho.
2 more questions,
to play .mod files, or .xm or .it files in visual basic, how would i do so? (these are al music files)
also, how to get flash movies to run in visual basic on computers that dont have it installed.
