DirectX Programming

Hi there all,

Could someone know where can i get a tutorial on Visual Basic DirectX Programming or any books recommended?

I only left about 3 months down the road including testing to do this before 21st of December.

I heard so about the powerful features of DirectX in networking and graphics programming for Windows based game, how true is that?

My project is just an normal PacMan style game, would my time-frame allow to to complete using DirectX programming? I have only knowledge in Database programming using VB.

Please help :)
