Product No. 250

KID GAMES WITH VISUAL BASIC EXPRESS (Table of Contents) teaches Visual Basic Express programming concepts while providing detailed step-by-step instructions for building many fun games.  The tutorial is appropriate for kids, teens 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!
