Hey everyone,
i have always been interested in makin games and stuff (thats what i wanna do someday), only problem is... well i got to many.

1. where does everyone get these awesome grafix? i have adobe and Paint for 2d and 3d studio max for 3d.. but, stick figures dont even turn out all to good

2. is there an easier way to making like a level on a 2d game than the way iv been doing it: making a 50kx50k pixel bitmap (lol) and then smacking it in a pic box

3. say u have a 2 guys on the screen, u control 1. is there an easier way of making the guy u control walk up to the other guy than:
guy1_click
timer1.enabled = true
end sub
timer1_tick
if guy2.left < guy1.left then guy2.left = guy2.left +100
if guy2.left > guy1.left then guy2.left = guy2.left -100
if guy2.top < guy1.top then guy2.top = guy2.top + 100
etc etc..
end sub

4. which is better, openGL or dx, and is it supported w/ .NET and wheres a good tutorial ?


-thanks in advance
