Sams Teach Yourself Game Programming with Visual Basic in 21 Days teaches the reader the art of game programming from the ground up. The reader is assumed to have basic programming knowledge that he wishes to apply to the creation of basic games. Upon completion of the book readers will have learned to build eight games including card games, puzzles, and strategy games, each focusing on a specific task and building the reader's knowledge and skill level. The final week is a culmination of the skills learned in the first two weeks where the reader builds a complete game incorporating sound, animation, etc.

Games & Strategy Guides

The introductory chapters provide a solid basis in using Direct3D and DirectSound in a 2D gaming environment, providing not only the necessary theoretical discussions, but also sample programs that demonstrate the concepts discussed. Once the reader learns these basic DirectX techniques, the book leads the reader through the design and programming of a console-style computer role-playing game. As the reader builds the game piece by piece, he not only applies what he's learned about Direct3D and DirectSound, but also learns the fundamental skills needed to program games. Currently, no other book on the market covers the same material.
