How are you making 3d graphics in Visual Basic (6 i assume)? That's something that I am very interested in.

By using DirectX 8 Immediate Mode. You can grab a copy of the DX8 SDK from somewhere and read the help files, they're pretty useful.

Just a quik question....is this game anywhere close to a beta test to see whats going on?

Right now the alpha is very user-unfriendly (as are all alphas) and I'm afraid releasing an alpha would just make people complain more.

Believe me, it's for good reason.

*bumpzor*

What version of VB are you using marshall? I have 6.0 Learning Edition.

Visual Basic 6.0 Enterprise Edition.
For DirectX programming you only need the Learning Edition.

My friend made a 3D Solar System model in VB. I might still have the source files around if you want to peek at the code.
