This example will show you how to make fast and hi-quality windows games by using basic GDI functions, no VB controls like lines, picture boxes or such stuff. You will learn how to use bitmaps, how to draw them, load them into memory, how to use DC, create them, draw on them, etc. It is a simple Lunar Lander game, screenshot is included if you want to see the game. If you want to make proffesional 2d games that can be played at any computer, have a look at this example... 15kb only ;)

Very nice 2d arcade side-scrooling directx7 game, there are sounds, music, nice graphics, 4 levels, bunch of monsters, all that 2d game must have. If you like Super Mario, then you WILL like this game. I wrote it a year ago, and dont have time to add more levels (there are 4 only, about 30 minutes to play). Please vote if you liked it.

Shows you how to use files to store any type of data, in 4-5 lines of code you can save anything as a binary file. Of course, there is a button for opening them :), download it if you dont know how to use Put, Get, binary stuffs. In a 10 lines of code, you can make a small database, if you know how to handle binary files.

If you hate Microsoft DataGrid and you dont need, cant find or dont have $300 for other grid then you are gonna love this ;). This is an activex control made in vb to replace bug-plagued DataGrid that you got with vs6. It is pretty fast, supports many things that are left behind in MS DataGrid and it is open-source (though not for proper distribution for now). Have a look at screenshots if there are some (psc might not allow me to upload them). There are some examples included on how to use the grid. It does not matter what drivers are used since this grid uses t-sql for reading/writing data. For now it does not support built-in editors, but that is to be added in next version. Just download the example and experiment a bit. If you need any help on using the control post comment here and I will be glad to help. This is first version, so please post any bugs you may find.

Version 1.5 of award winning Wolf DataGrid, fully working data grid now with many new features.
