Based on Djikstra (a pathfinding algorithm), this VB.NET project has an AI (aritificial intelligence) to find the shortest path between two locations on a map. Then an animated sprite will walk along that path. There are 2 types of tiles: passable and blocked. The passable tiles have different cost to cross (e.g. cemented roads are favored over sand). The commented pathfinding code is written on a class so that you can easily incorporate a pathfinding AI in your own game. This is also integrated with a map editor where you can create, save, and edit map from 5x5 to 25x25 in size. If you cannot see the entire map, scrollbars are provided. There is also a minimap which represents the entire map. The graphics method is GDI+ (no external API calls or DirectX). The drawings are optimized by rendering only the parts that are really needed to be drawn. - Arvin Meralpis
Learn ADO.NET basics in shortest time possible. Contains 2 tutorials: Bound manually by code and bound by build-in Databinding. Shows you how to connect to an Access database, populate the controls with data, add new record, edit existing record, delete record, and save to the database. Well commented. Ideal to VB.NET beginners as well.
Complete DirectX9 game with 3D menu, 3D About presentation, intro movie, and map editor. Game features: control your 3D walking, animated character in 3rd person mode; click on a tile and he will go there (can find his way through the maze); DX-drawn message boxes, menus and buttons; 3D compass; falling snow; 6 camera modes; sky background (skybox). DirectX features: textures; lights (ambient and point); fog; 2D/3D alphablending (opacity from 0 to 255); raytracing (detect 3D objects at mouse point); mesh from X file; 3D text; simple spheremapping; multi-viewport projection; particle system; 2D sprites; windowed and fullscreen; reenter fullscreen mode after being minimized; resolution changeable during game(no need to restart); movie playback Well commented, and with documentation. – Arvin Meralpis
