Vb.net Mini Game

Hi ,
i was just wondering if it is possible to create a mini game in
vb.net say for example like space invaders with a spacecraft coming across
the top of the screen in a web form dropping bombs no fancy graphics....
with you controlling your spacecraft/tank ( a line ) at the bottom just
trying to avoid them :) if anyone knows if its possible and could help me
would be much appreciated

Regards ,

Yes it is possible to make a mini game in VB.net using GDI+

I've created a very elaborate 8 way scrolling shoot em up game with parallax
scrolling.

I've designed it to actually design multiple types of games, in essence a
game creator. I've created a tiling engine that can be used to create Super
Mario, Sonic the Headgehog, or even a complex shoot em up games.

You'll need to learn how to do some collision detection too. That was the
hardest thing for me to do in .net, but I was able to make it work quite well.

It runs really fast as well. Just remember to do double buffering on the
vertical blanks to get rid of flickering...

good luck dude!

How does one get in sync with the vertical blanking cycle?
