Riassunto

The explosive growth of the Internet and low-cost PC network platforms like Windows 95 has created a world where everyone wants to get connected, communicate, and play games! Unfortunately, developing network-playable games has been a difficult and mysterious craft in the past. Now with Visual Basic 4 Network Gaming Adventure Set, you'll have everything you need to use the latest networking technology and create awesome multiplayer games. This book shows you how to design and code strategy games and fast-action scrolling games - all designed to be played with multiple players on high-speed networks.
This is the first and only book especially designed to show you how to create games with Microsoft's new DirectPlay! DirectPlay is the latest standard for multiplayer Windows game communication. Using DirectPlay, you can develop games that can communicate using LANs, the Internet, and modems. To help you use DirectPlay, this book comes with an exclusive DLL called DPVB Link that lets you use Microsoft's powerful new API.
This book and companion CD-ROM take a hands-on construction kit approach. You'll learn how to build your own games and powerful development tools in VB 4. You'll also learn hundreds of network programming techniques to help you become a multiplayer game developer.
