Book Description
The book's greatest strength: the fact that it is very much grounded in writing a game.
— Craig Andera, .NET Practice Lead, Wangdera Corporation
This highly-anticipated title provides a clear introduction to game programming for you, VB.NET programmers! Microsoft insiders have written an easy-to-read guide, so you can start programming games quickly. This book even includes an introduction to Managed DirectX9, and other advanced .NET features, like animation and sounds.
Code examples are actually complete games, and include .Nettrix , .Netterpillars, River Pla.NET, Magic KindergarteN., D-iNfEcT, Nettrix II (for the Pocket PC), and a version of the classic game, Spacewars.
