"Game programming is without a doubt the most intellectually challenging field of computer science in the world. However, we would be fooling ourselves if we said that we are 'serious' people! Writing (and reading) a game programming book, should be an exciting adventure for both the author and the reader." Andre LaMothe, Series Editor
This book is intended for beginning to intermediate programmers who may or may not have experience with the Visual Basic language, or advanced programmers who are interested in learning game programming. This book starts at the very beginning, explaining how to install and set up Visual Basic 6.0, and takes the reader through the development of a complete game before jumping into more advanced topics.
