PROGRAMMING GAMES WITH VISUAL BASIC is a second semester self-paced "intermediate" computer game programming tutorial consisting of 10 chapters explaining (in simple, easy-to-follow terms) how to build Visual Basic Games. The games built are non-violent and teach logical thinking skills. To grasp the concepts, you should possess a working knowledge of Windows and have had some exposure to Visual Basic programming (or some other programming language). We offer a beginning programming tutorial BEGINNING VISUAL BASIC that would help you gain this needed programming exposure. ​
