So now that i've made up my mind i am going to start my very first game being a tetris game. I know all of the workings behind that game and have a good grasp of what is going on now to acctually sit down and code out a game. I have all the the title screens and thing like that made and the main interface of the game and what i want it to look like , i am just stuck on where i put all of the peices into place (;. First id like to know how i could be of assitance to anyone just stopping by saying how can i help by asking how i can upload my project to the world can see it and hellp my with coding its insides. Ill bee back to check on this quite often because i am bored out of my mind for the summer and want to learn something useful. Maybe someone could even tutor me over an instant messaging client . =D
By the way i am using vb.net express and trying to figure out how to use this little thing called direct x.

Going through the direct x contents, i have found that in the newest sdk (june 2006) that direct draw is not "deprecated". Does this mean that direct draw is not the way to go anymor efor 2d graphics because i sat down and taught myself the basics of visual basics today =D and have become somewhat fluent to what i believe, spending 10 hour straight on tutorials and reading and taking notes and now i am up to figureing out classes, but i have everything else down(variables arrays ect), I am trying to figure out direct x right now by sorting through the sdk, but having no clue what it is talking about , visual basics help was alot better put together than the direct x help.

Attached is a layout of the teris game i would like to create. Two quick questions , First does any one have any basic direct x tutorials that are up to date on how to make 2d game programs , and Second in the attached layout you should find that i have a little start screen then it goes to the game screen. The game screen is a panel with a fixed3d border. Now my question here is direct using panels or a special direct x object to create the images of the games.
Tetris type game
