Visual Basic: Game Programming for Windows/Book and Disk

Booknews

One of the best ways to teach someone how to use a personal computer is to let them play games. In this unique approach to programming, the programmer has an opportunity to play 12 different games and learn game programming by modifying the games. The games range from simple fractals and puzzles to strategic board games to some highly imaginative action games. Each chapter begins with a description of the game and how to play it, followed by the source code, a section on programming techniques and a description of functions and procedures for modification of the code. Knowledge of BASIC is required and familiarity with Visual BASIC is recommended. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
