Résumé
DirectX 8 and Visual Basic Developmentfills an unmet need
in the marketplace as the first book to explain how to use
VB.NET and DirectX 8 to create sophisticated multi- media
applications. Topics include networked games, 3D multimedia
applications, enable Force Feedback joystick devices in
their own applications, multimedia applications that allow
for multiple user input devices, and multimedia
applications that use music and sound. Real world examples
explain how to use these tools effectively, professionally,
and quickly.
