I am making a Tetris game. I have all of the bricks stored as gifs in a control array in a frame. I need help on making the bricks fall in a random order. Is there a better way to do this than what I am doing? And also, do i need to have a game loop? How would I go about making one? Thanx a bunch ya''ll! The LilShaz

Here''s an idea:
Give up on VB and go buy MSVC++ 6.
Yes, you need a game loop.
No, I don''t know how to make one in VB.

I recently finished a Tetris clone in VB that utilizes DX and the whole works. A control array of gifs is gonna run as well as molasses im afraid. I suggest researching game programming, this is more than a simple post can explain.

That there is my lil bro. Do any of ya''ll know any good VB game developing sites? This doesn''t seem to be one.

I would personally recommend NOT using a control array, as was said before it will be very slow. Also VB.NET does away with control arrays from what I''ve heard, so start learning to do without them.

I have a VB games website, which has my VB breakout clone with source code somewhere on it, amongst other things. www.VBgames.co.uk
