Title: Poorly written.
Review: What a disappointment.I was expecting a lot more from this book. The chapters have no logical flow based on game development. The author seems to have little or no experience writing or designing a game (before you complain, I have 7 retail titles published), and merely wrote this book to add to his collection of previous works. The whole thing comes across as a business application, masquerading as a game.Very few of the samples included on the CD-ROM actually work well, and can be crashed easily. Performance of the code is lackluster, with frame rates 1/10th of what is capable with VB and DirectX.Readers would be better off gaining knowledge from several excellent web sites devoted to DirectX development with Visual Basic.
