Check out RPGWO.com I help run that game, we are always in need of graphic artists.

Hard to explain, just like an extra layer of security to your application, against decompilers.

If you are posting source code to game then you add it to the source code section.

If you want to show off the current project you are working on and post screenshots and information. You need to add it to the Game Projects page.

All you have to do is login to your VisualBasicZone account on the main page.  Then click on Your Game Projects and then click post new.

Hope that helps,

Basicly it allows you to monitor your Adsense Account from your computer giving you updates every 30 minutes.

RPG World Online (RPGWO)

Is a fun game that I have been playing for over four years and even host one the main worlds for it.  I can go on for a long time talking about all the features this game has. So give a try.   Here is a short summary listed below:

RPG World Online (RPGWO) is an online, persistent, massively multi-player(100) role playing game. It is written entirely in Visual Basic and uses API for graphics and Direct Sound, well, for sound. My motto or driving goal is to create a simulation type world with RPG gameplay, thus: "Where simulation meets gameplay!" It is a dynamic world. Maps can be changed and all items and such can be made and/or destroyed. An empty world in which players can build it the way they want!

The world will have a plot but it will be secondary. Most RPGs are combat oriented. I want it to even with other features. For example, a blacksmith and a swordsman of equal level playing for 1 hour should earn the same amount of experience.

Basic features
Combat
Player improvement and development based on skills system
Magic
Chat system (including offline messages)
Land ownership
Weather (rain, snow, drought, etc)
Water flows (like to lower elevations and floods too!)
Nature (plants and animals grow (and die!))
Trade skills (blacksmith, farm, mining, tinker, jeweler, etc)
Day/night effects with lighting
Dynamic plot (players affect outcome)
Events (like sacking a city with monsters!)

In this forum you will find information and the latest freeware programs developed by VisualBasicZone.com and free to use!

Most of the software will be developed with C#, Visual Basic 6, or VB.net
Some may even include the source code.

I have two other sites in development one which will mainly focus on developing your own simple rpg sytle game, and another which will teach all sorts of topics on computers and programming.

Enjoy,

The easist way to play sound is to use the PlaySound api call.
Heres the example from api Guide
[vb]Private Const SND_APPLICATION = &H80         '  look for application specific association
Private Const SND_ALIAS = &H10000     '  name is a WIN.INI [sounds] entry
Private Const SND_ALIAS_ID = &H110000    '  name is a WIN.INI [sounds] entry identifier
Private Const SND_ASYNC = &H1         '  play asynchronously
Private Const SND_FILENAME = &H20000     '  name is a file name
Private Const SND_LOOP = &H8         '  loop the sound until next sndPlaySound
Private Const SND_MEMORY = &H4         '  lpszSoundName points to a memory file
Private Const SND_NODEFAULT = &H2         '  silence not default, if sound not found
Private Const SND_NOSTOP = &H10        '  don't stop any currently playing sound
Private Const SND_NOWAIT = &H2000      '  don't wait if the driver is busy
Private Const SND_PURGE = &H40               '  purge non-static events for task
Private Const SND_RESOURCE = &H40004     '  name is a resource name or atom
Private Const SND_SYNC = &H0         '  play synchronously (default)
Private Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "PlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszName As String, ByVal hModule As Long, ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
   'KPD-Team 2000
   'URL: http://www.allapi.net/
   'E-Mail: KPDTeam@Allapi.net
   PlaySound "C:\WINDOWS\MEDIA\TADA.WAV", ByVal 0&, SND_FILENAME Or SND_ASYNC
End Sub[/vb]

No idea. I hope it comes back though.   Hope someone made a backup. We don't want to loose another site like with decompiler.com

Did a search found some examples on pscode.com

http://pscode.com/vb/scripts/BrowseCategoryOrSearchResults.asp?optSort=Alphabetical&blnWorldDropDownUsed=TRUE&txtMaxNumberOfEntriesPerPage=10&blnResetAllVariables=TRUE&txtCriteria=battleship&lngWId=1

And also this example

Got it done and you are a moderator of that forum.
If you want to change the forum description just let me know and will change it.
You can also add your game in the game projects section of the site, and add a link to your site in the links section.

Added 15 more games to the arcade today.

Yeah I can make them a subforum here.  If they want their own full forum they can goto easyphpbb.com and create their own.
Just get me the information needed and I will get it setup.
Now I am going to have fix some little things up on this board to make it look better.
