video game for VB

I'm am trying to make a 2D game in VB. This is the only language I know and from what I heard, it is the easiest to program graphics on. The thing is, I don't know the first thing about graphics in VB(besides inserting pictures and making a simple poker game ). How hard will it be to learn graphics?

If your making a game, you'll need to know how to generate random numbers. Here's how to do it:

Randomize() 'will initialize sequence to generate random numbers - without this, numbers from RND start the same

Dim i as integer
i = RND() * 10 + 1 'generate a random number from 1 to 10

RND will be a random decimal between 0 and 1. Multiply it by another number to "expand the range." Also, I am fairly sure it is RND that is used. I always mix it up the the random number in C. If it isn't RND then its Rand.

The tough part for me at least is to come up with a good idea. Obiviously you won't be able to make a full 3-D game like you would be able to buy in a store. So try o thinking of something that will be easy - like Pac-man that doesn't have a lot of graphics or controls. From there you can do something better.

 

There is no know way for a computer to gerorate random numbers
