Visual Basic Express Programming Tutorials

KID GAMES WITH VISUAL BASIC EXPRESS   $19.95
Product No. 250

In response to many requests for game building tutorials, we now offer KID GAMES WITH VISUAL BASIC EXPRESS.  It teaches Visual Basic Express programming concepts while providing detailed step-by-step instructions for building many fun games.  The tutorial is appropriate for both kids and adults.  The games built are non-violent and teach logical thinking skills.  To grasp the concepts presented in KID GAMES WITH VISUAL BASIC EXPRESS, you should possess a working knowledge of Windows and have had some exposure to Visual Basic Express programming (or some other programming language).  We offer two beginning programming tutorials (VISUAL BASIC EXPRESS FOR KIDS and BEGINNING VISUAL BASIC EXPRESS) that would help you gain this needed exposure.

KID GAMES WITH VISUAL BASIC EXPRESS explains (in simple, easy-to-follow terms) how to build a Visual Basic Express game project. Students learn about project design, the Visual Basic Express toolbox, many elements of the Visual Basic language, and how to debug and distribute finished projects. Game skills learned include handling multiple players, scoring, graphics, animation, and sounds. The game projects built include, in increasing complexity (Game Screen Shots):

  • Safecracker – Decipher a secret combination using clues from the computer.

  • Tic Tac Toe – The classic game – one of the first programmed by Bill Gates!

  • Match Game – Find matching pairs of hidden photos – use your own photos!

  • Pizza Delivery – A business simulation where you manage a small pizza shop for a night.

  • Moon Landing – Land a module on the surface of the moon.

  • Leap Frog – A fun arcade game where you get a frog through traffic and across a raging river.

The product includes over 700 pages of self-study notes, all Visual Basic Express source code and all needed graphics and sound files. 

KID GAMES WITH VISUAL BASIC EXPRESS sells for $19.95. The product requires Windows 2000, NT, XP or Vista, ability to view and print documents saved in Microsoft Word format, and Visual Basic 2005 Express or Visual Basic 2008 Express.  The game projects can also be developed using Visual Basic 2005 or Visual Basic 2008.  Included with the course is free, unlimited support and advice via e-mail. Use links at upper left of page to purchase and download the product or receive a CD-ROM ($2.50 shipping and handling charge).  With a CD-ROM order, you also receive the free projects in Visual Basic Express Projects.
