Can YOU do it?

[Arie]

Hi!

I have two questions:

1) I want to know if anyone of the vb-world.net guys
know how to rotate an image?
It's a short question and maybe there's a short
answer too...

2) What is the way of making a simple game with
an option to play with two modems?
(I think It's pretty hard to do, but maybe one of you
have a tutorial?)

Thank you anyway,
Arie.

I got a short answer to the first question:
go to
http://www.ur.co.nz

there is a great demo of an fast rotation by angle without using D3D. Just a few APIs to keep speed up! If you got this sample you can do a lot of cool graphic stuff in GDI.


2)
Do you want to make a game, that dials another? You got to learn the Modem API. (I got no idea about this! I don't even know if every modem has the same one, because I have ISDN (CAPI).)
Or do you want to make a game playable by IP! This one is the better one in my opinion, because of the telephon cost and the possibility to have more than 2 players.
Use the winsock OCX (easy way) or the DirectPlay (harder, faster, designed for gaming)

That's it

Ok, so...

How do I use the winsock OCX?
How I transfer data?
Where can I get this OCX?

Thank you, Arie.

The OCX is included in VB! Just go to the components menu and include it. The rest is easy!

That's it

I saw the ocx...
But, how do I use it?
I know that there is Conect,GetData and SendData
methods. but what is the remote ip and all the
other things that I should put when I want to
connect?
Can you explain extendly or send me a tutorial?
Or maybe you know some site with a great tutorial?

Now for the Rotate Question:
Is there an easier way to do it? the tutorial is
little too hard I think.

Anyway, Thank you,
Arie.
