Synopsis

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.
