VB6 RPG Game

[samirtleal]

Very nice, I am working on the same game.

Does your game freeze for a small period of time every couple of seconds? I can't seem to get a constant game frame rate with the game loop provided in the book, please help thanks!

Great job! I am pretty sure that this game comes from the book visual basic game programming for teens by jonathan harbour(2nd or 3rd edition). The characters animations are loaded from sprite sheet. the game is made using directx 9. The name of this game is celtic crusader. The game engine uses a technique called side scrolling(the world moves, not the chart). You can find this book on amazon. The levels are loaded from a map file(map array) and are created with mappy. You move with keys.

[cowkong]

how do you code to make the world around the person move? is it just with every keypress you make every object around the person move? Do you create the whole world in one form?

[MinecraftingFamily]

@cowkong

directx

(trust me i ve read that book :) )

[RockTheLord]

Hello,

I like to design a very simple boxing game, just throwing punches. A game with one main character and 3 opponents of different strengths. Can anyone guide me to a similar code I could use as a template (Preferably VB). Msg me pls.

Thanks,

Rock

[DATAFRAMEC]

Looks like someone uses culling :)

[AbyssalGameStudios]

The game was created in Visual Basic 2005. He got the source code from a book... I have the book too. It does use DirectX and Direct3D and such. I cangive anybody the source code if they wish, just message me.

[mms1911]

this was made in visual basic 6! wow, nice job :)

[PlayinDemVidya]

@xxmago I have the same book and yes it uses DirectX. I am currently working on a VB project aswell, it is on my channel :D

[xxmago]

Have you used Direct X to make this, or a lot of forms and images?

[Supertutorialfan]

in vb 6???? WOW

[MsJack12345678910]

want code Please

[Lagster97]

NICE TIBIA

[hauhuynh]

[alexmeanberg]

@trojak96 XD No. DirectX.

[alexmeanberg]

heeeyy. I have that book. Its called Microsoft Visual Basic: Game Programming For Teens Second Edition

[DuranoKenneth]

can you send me the codes please?..

[webdsl]

[Gothkid15]

@webdsl Same here, I'm just too lazy to it σ_σ

[Kk26995]

CAN YOU PLEASE SEND ME SOME CODES ASAP PLEASE BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO MAKE A RPG GAME BUT i DON'T KNOW HOW PLEASE... MY FRIEND WILL BE MAD IF I DON'T!

[metalpayne3]

Looks like a better version of Zelda CD-I's graphics. Pretty sweet.

[kyriacoshe]

make a tutorial pelase

[menzow]

Great job for vb6!

seriously smoooooth ass hell

[Xeratas]

wtf thats made with VB ?! nice^^

[MarkyDeany96]

oh please can you tell me the collision code where you dont just run through objects, please ill sub...

[gameace96]

HEYY!!!!!! dude im making same game with it except im using vb 08 i have two books though one game programming for teens and another named somthing else but im too lazy to find the book right now. Yeah im trying to find out how to add music to the game.

[iBeSnipez]

Just make a media player that is hidden and when they enter a room or something, make the coding:

vb6: Windowsmediaplayer1.URL = "C:\\Music Directory"

Or idk for vb 2008, anyways im working on a game too, wanna help eachother? i got MSN. and email

[ducedaniel]

Dude this rocks! Any chance you would share code?

[TheMTNDewAddict]

good job, i like the sprites that you used, i question how you got the trees to apear when you got near them, and how you got the monsters to move on there own, did you use random spacing so that they would move to a different area at random? and the trees, did you use a point location to get them to appear?

[cod3hack3r]

This is a work of art.

[GV03]

this is amazing :O

[KingdomAtWar]

wow, u did this all in vb6? thats pretty cool

[Karffebon]

i know where you got the sprites from, that's a nice site.

[DasleePrev]

Draconite302, yea really Esand15 is like that Knight near Draynor village jail :D

[Draconite302]

This looks like an even crappier version of Runescape.

[TheMTNDewAddict]

dude if you had any sense, you would know that runescape was made by well known professionals, this is made with visual basic 6.... that is pretty good in my eyes. do you know how much coding this would have to go to.. and by an amateur programmer?

[PivotMasterLoLeR]

realy cool

[robyboy718]

send me the SRC

[xxckwxx]

So how is this made?( like what exactly, I know VB, which I am OK with but can I have like a example of the code) I would like to make something like this.

[r4nd0msh1t]

thats effin sick..

lol my vb skills suck compared to that how long it take?

[TheDrakoman]

this is Sick!!!!

[hi1124]

where did u get the boook(link)?

[bigsnakedotcom]

im 12 and I kinda know how to code in c++ , I know dark basics better though

[haxboxproductions]

Bullshit. If you know asm post a vid and prove it. Otherwise don't make yourself look stupid.

[haxboxproductions]

Nope. Not even a nice try either.

[zainuintel]

dont belive me i dont care (i only know vb 2008 and im flippin lernin c# ok damn man

[ActionHacks]

c sharp aka c# is nothing, don't shit a brick..

[zainuintel]

what what did i do

[ActionHacks]

Lol, you deleted your comment, but it still shows

"Comment removed by author"

[zainuintel]

but you cant see my comment so mwhahahahaha

[ActionHacks]

lol...

[Caplock21]

looks similar to Diablo.

[TarnaComedy]

I have this book too, "Visual Basic game Programming for teens" by jonathan harbour

[Kehaan]

What book have you used?

[hunhistory]

lol

[axeshredstorm69]

How is this possible on VB6?

[dozza92]

I have no idea, i dnt use VB. I spose if you can import images, and move them around the screen or just even plot pixels then you can create a whole 3D game in VB from scratch. When using DirectDraw, all you get is a chunk of data which represents the screen, you can make all the drawing algorithms and functions yourself.

[inflamezz7]

well done for VB :o i thought it was worthless for games

[ldicker]

It is and it isn't. It's worthless for games if you want them to be able to run on other platforms (like Linux and MacOS X) but it's also great for beginners and less complex games.

Part of the problem lies in the fact that the industry standard today is C++ for games and that VB tends to run much slower than C++ programs.

[Blacktronics]

i agree, VB Code Becomes Translated While its processed in C++ Eveythng would be translatet first and addet to the RAM

[Spamdaspammer]

Visual basic game programming for teens

[Macr0Maker]

Yep ive read it....

[wasitrealy]

More like 11 year olds...Like me.

[TarnaComedy]

I'm 11 too :)

[rikoui]

id like to know what book this is because i enjoy programming with vb and would like to learn how to make games on it

[lakristianla]

Hey i have this book and VB 6.0 professional too, though i couldn't continue because when i am doing the very first step with make a new project - STANDARD EXE, then i go under references but i can't find directX 8, is it because i have vista and DX8 dont work on vista? please respond :P because i really want to learn from the book.

Oh, and book is called ''Visual basic game programming for teens'' for those who dont know :P

[Ivik6]

I think it should work on Vista, but not sure tho :(. Did u install it properly? Maybe try reinstalling.

[lakristianla]

Yeah but i have done a little of ''illegal'' downloading, so i don't got the CD from the book, and thats why i searched and searched for the DirectX 7 and 8, but then it showed up microsoft didnt upload them anymore becourse of DX9 and 10, so when i finally found the DX 7 and 8, then it said i could not install on Vista XD.

[Ivik6]

sry cant help u then D=.

[ldicker]

Try running the installer in compatibility mode if you're insistent on using older versions of DirectX.

Otherwise just use a free version of VB with the DirectX 9 or 10 SDK. It'll make your life a lot easier.

[Afonsocool23]

Put a tut plz!!!

[icegwapoemo]

what book???? plssss PM it to me..

[stickman2012]

can't you do javascript in VB? thats game making code ain't it? just look at runescape...

[dercheezle]

Good grief you don't know what you're talking about.

Runescape is written as a Java applet.

Javascript is only used for minimal interactivity in web pages' layout and such.

[stickman2012]

sorry my mistake. were would you get a Java applet anyways?

[dercheezle]

what do you mean?

[stickman2012]

like...where would i get a program that could do Java applet? if i get that or flash it still might cost a fourtune.

[eliteveteran]

Java can make java applets, obviously

[GSCrepresentative]

Hey I just got this book lol

Gona try and do this too. Looks good

[enclaveColD]

cool men

[RocketMan291]

FAKE THATS RPGSED GAME

[JacoRuit]

Its fake

You cant make this games with vb?

[AutomaticGood76137]

its possible to make a game like this in vb ;/

[PrjRAPTOR]

It would be very difficult and unnecessary considering just about any other language is better at game programming then VB.

[SSHPCS2]

is there i way that when i control my object that when it goes over another object it will show a new from?

[magoesnoob]

GRAT 5***** it' ROCKKK !

[Player1070]

good, i do this

[toalewafan]

Wow! You finished Celtic Crusader? Man, you are the best. I'm still working on it. Try to put some music.

[Samzsite]

To center a sprite, just move the map image, not the actual sprite ;) Nice engine, hope it develops nicely.

[2612912]

Nice diablo remake LOL

[26593RS]

nicely done, how do i make the background of the player picture like... transparent? :P

[MSVisualBasicSixhelp]

sprite animation

[RsJelly]

Thats nice, I cant work out how to centre soemthing and when it moves it will hide / show parts of the screen.

[PachesatsutEnulaitsu]

how can you get the program to accept input during a loop?

[soccergod561234]

use the "sleep" function ive never tried cause ive never had to use but supposubly its supposed to work. or you can only let it loop after the program recievs input useing the if statement

ie. if keycode = vbkeyW then

img1.top=img1-50

do

(the block)

loop

just a suggestion not sure on either hope this works :P happy programming

[Sam9227]

erm,,,,,,

LOL

[Bl4ckCr4y0ns]

Is the water at 0:09 from Pokémon? lol.

[linklovezelda]

the grass the rock the water or the tree?

[Bl4ckCr4y0ns]

I said water =="

I'll quote it.

"Is the water at 0:09 from Pokémon? lol. "

[26593RS]

hahahahahaa, u motherfucker the perSon who typed that message is a fuckING noob and cant spell

[krum1987]

looks oddly familer oh yea, this is code that came with a book...

pretty sure it's "Visual Basic Game Programming with directX" and if it's not that it is another one, I have seen these exact graphics...

[wonderfuler]

2d or 3d ?

[smashthesandbag]

omfg this is a rip off of runescape...

[VVizzKid]

SHH!! You'll add... "rs" videos to the 'Related Videos'!!

[nikogiant]

well maybe looks lieke runescape a bit. good start tho!

[CCRS0N]

rs is java....

[stickman2012]

if you think thats runescape then you're shit. i quit it simply because i couldn't pay $5 a month cuz i was too busy. its still worth it if you play it enough. runescape is the shiz, bruh!

[Desecutive]

Not bad for VB.

[notebookgmail]

yeah it runs on windows 95

system requiments are

Procesor:166mhz

Ram: 8MB

HDD: 10MB

[FarSol02JL]

lol that game looks like tibia xD horrible game

[valijero]

It's the best game ever...

[bouncerthemut]

Is there a place to download this RPG game?

[Esand15]

no i made this from a book

[MouthofSaurons]

Which book?

[MouthofSaurons]

How do you make arrow-movement in Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition???

[Ilikewatermelon27]

Nice work. The animations are really good. :)

[flypaki]

WOW how did you make that?

[ismailimanov]

He just have maked the game in flash or something and put the shockwave flash .swf file in VB6

[Esand15]

none of its done in flash. Direct x is what i used to make it.

[PRNala]

Book - Visual Basic Programming FOR TEENS?

[Esand15]

That would be it.

[PRNala]

i know over 7 languages of programming, so yea, i gots the books

[LusikkaMage]

Oh, don't be so modest!

By "languages" you mean HTML, Javascript, Basic, Visual Basic, Toribash scripts, and the like? ;P
