    Question RTS Game in VB?

    Is it possible to make a RTS game (WarCraft, Age Of Empiers, etc.) with VB and DirectX?
    Warning:

    Printer Fire.

    Of course you can! Look around for tutorials on DirectDraw, the isometric view, AI, pathfinding, and object-oriented programming. It should all lead you in the right path to making a strategy game .

    Look for "Jump Gate: Ion", it's an excellent RTS made in VB about 4 years ago (near-Starcraft quality)

    Btw if you find a more advanced version of this game please tell me! I've been looking for it for months
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
'Error 9: Overflow
'DON'T PANIC! :eek:

    To learn how to use realistic effects in your games like fire, rain, snow and magic effects, read my article on particles systems here.
