I got to the point of using the gdi library and bitblt function, but I still don't see how to use that one for animations.

I'm busy writing a rpg in VB6 using the DirectX 8 libraries. I'll post a link when I have it on my site.
.EDIT. Download it here: http://vbstuff.siteburg.com/index.php?acti...d&file=yrpg.zip |

BTW making games with the DX8 SDK is much more faster than bitblt and stuff.

Yeah, but everybody who uses it would need to have DX8 or higher

btw, DX9 is impossible in VB6. It's only possible in VB.NET |

Well, what I want to do, is animate a Tamagotchi. Not so much 3D in there, so got no need for 3D animation.

I once made a tamagotchi-like program in quick basic... :P It's not too hard to make that using the DX7 SDK, if you have a bit of VB6 knowledge. |

Indeed. Only two problems I see: The animation and saving the critter to a file, so you don't have to start all over every time you close it (and which could allow more than one pet)

Animation is not too hard. You let the program load all animation frames at the start in buffers, and animating the thing isn't that hard anymore after that. I can make a little program of my RPG char walking on screen if you want using DX7. Maybe you can use it. |
