    I have moved your post into the 'Games & Graphics Programming' forum as it should have better feedback in here.

    How much do you know about VB. Are you ready to start with DX??? It sounds like a game I would do in DDraw...but there is probably someone that would disagree with me there...

    i know a fair amount, but not directx. I thought that you could somehow draw a circle and then have your "car" or whatever object you want to use to either around the circle or whatever.
