Brickz visual basic game

New Version ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X4_GQ2vaf8

This a game im working on in visual basic 6 called brickz. It is a match 3 casual type game that will feature many different styles of addictive game play that will keep the player immersed in an entertaining and visually pleasing environment. This game simply uses win32 API for all the rendering, Directx7 for sound and fullscreen mode. This project is about 65% complete.
When finished this will also serve to show some people that visual basic 6 when in the hands of a good programmer and\or graphics artist can produce better games than tic-tac-toe. Im also considering rewriting the game using Directx8 for graphics purposes. at the moment this game will run full speed even on low spec machines using only win32 API (bitblt, stretchblt etc...)

Thanks for watching

cyrix1986, great game! Idk how it's possible to make so good games (games at all) with visual basic... Anyway, what version are you using? If you know how, how do you play a sound without a media player in VB6? Thanks :3

[cyrix1986]

This game was made using visual basic 6, recently I've been writing games in flash or C# with the XNA library. And to play a sound in vb you could use the sndPlaySound API, if its for games then i would recommend using DirectSound 8 as it will allow you to play multiple sounds at once. Check them both out on google, lots of information on both

Hey YT Viewers

I need to get a site up and running so I can share my programs and games, but I'm limited on time and I'm not the greatest with web design. If anyone would be willing to make me a site I can get these projects online. I will take care of the hosting and domain, I just need a site made, PM me if you can help. Thanks.... cyrix
