Over the summer we were very fortunate to have two Swinburne students help us create a new tutorial on using SwinGame and Visual Basic .NET to create small arcade style games. The first version of the tutorial is now available on the SwinGame web site. It walks you through the process of creating a game called "VBugs" and shows you how to use sprites, sounds, mouse and keyboard input, along with developing procedures and designing your own classes.
Teachers interesting in using this as a teaching resource can request an additional pack containing solutions to the various work sheets from Swinburne's school resources page.
We hope you enjoy this new tutorial.
