Hi,<br />
<br />
I am attempting to write a simple program that will allow me to just move an image around the screen - just like a simple asteroids type effort -. I wrote a basic one a few months ago in Javascript as an exercise, but his one uses VML and a basic triangle for the &quot;ship&quot;. I amtrying to convert it into vb .net, but instead of a triangle I would like to use an image. I have tried using a bitmap, which sits in a picturebox, but when the image is rotated, the picturebox doe not rotate (not surprising really). Am I able to rotate the picturebox, or am i barking up the wrong tree. Should I be using sprites(? examples) or something else? I only seem to be able to display the bmp within the picturebox - are there any other methods. <br />
<br />
I don't want to get into directx etc, at the moment, i would rather start off at the beginning - i'm not trying to build the next Half Life!<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />
<br />

vb .net graphics - newbie question...

Game programming is the software development of video games. Game programming requires substantial skill in software engineering as well as specialization in simulation, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, physics, audio programming, and input. Like other software, game development programs are generated from source code to the actual program by a compiler. Source code can be developed with almost any text editor, but most professional game programmers use a full integrated development environment (IDE).
