[RESOLVED] Is there...

A list of commands that you use in games?

Not sure if there's even one, but i mean like..

Bltplayer, SendData etc.

Also... what kind of things to beginners *me* make on VB?

Just need some suggestions. Just to get you some inside, i know how to do some things, just i'd like to be able to create scripts in an engine or something.

Hi Joe,

check out the codebank for the game programming section in here

http://www.vbforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=76

there will be some useful examples in there

Thanks mate, rated ya btw :D

If you wanna make games, definitely check out the link he posted and also look into learning about these:

Masks and sprites
BitBlt (will probably explain masks and sprites)
Loops (the whole game will usually be one big loop)
Side scrolling (side-scrolling/2D games like Mario)

Just those few things will be enough to get you started. When you are able to make a simple side-scrolling game, you may want to look into DirectX but that is a very advanced topic...

If you want to make your game multi-player over a LAN or internet, you will also want to learn how to use the Microsoft Winsock Control.
