I've been programming in VB for a while, but 99% of what I've needed to do has been either a database app, or a general program. I've never even scratched the surface of game programming, but I want to get into it. Since I know absolutely nothing about the subject, where should I begin? Can you point me to some URL's or some type of information that will enable me to start programming games with as little confusion as possible...?

Thanks,
Acoustic
