    well I really don't know any pacman tutorials so just write how much you know about all of this.
    I guess plante sourcecode would have some pacmans to look at.

    Have you done any programming with:
    BitBlt or DirectDraw?
    Do you know how to use gettickcout? Or getkeys or DirectInput? (don't be offended if you know about this I know it's easy stuff, but everyone learned it some day)

    Well if you know that stuff you could basicly just go right at it shouldn't be too hard. If you don't I would recommend to learn about using loops, getting Keyboard input over GetKey API, using Gettickcout instead of timers, and Arrays.

    Click the "Articles" link at the top of the page, and read the Lander Game tutorial - that's what got me started
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
'Error 9: Overflow
'DON'T PANIC! :eek:

    To learn how to use realistic effects in your games like fire, rain, snow and magic effects, read my article on particles systems here.

    haha I skimmed through the lander game after I got started and only got confused by it

    oh well guess I should have read it. I started with ur.co.nz but I do not know if the page is still alive.

    Yes Planet-Source-Code has a lot of demos, but it's hard to find well-commented ones
