A complete game development and playback kit geared toward 2-D scrolling games. Assists in creation of tile graphics, sprites and maps. Features include anti-aliased rotation function in the graphics editor, Maze generator and automatic tile matching in the map editor, animated tile support. Features and technologies demonstrated in the code include: Reading, parsing and writing XML using Microsoft's XMLDOMDocument COM object. Creating and manipulating bitmaps (and StdPicture COM Picture objects) and graphics in memory and on the display using an HDC and GDI API. Playing multimedia clips on a full screen DirectDraw display. Drawing, moving, and interacting with a multi-layered parallax scrolling tiled map. Using Cos and Sin to rotate graphics and rotate thrust (like Asteroids game). Generating a maze with diagonal passages and variable passage sizes. HTML help file and its linkage to a VB program. Execute VBScript from a compiled executable, and connect events from internal objects to scripted event handlers (requires related DLL in this case). Directly access any area of the registry (not just VB's area). Easy reading of the joystick from a VB program without using external controls. Creating shortcut files from VB using VB6STKIT.DLL or VB5STKIT.DLL (whichever may be available) and failing gracefully if neither exists.
