Ok, I am one of the crappiest C and C++ programmers in the world. But, I do know some Visual Basic 4.0. I want to make a game that is tilebased because I am new at the gaming business. So, I decided to make a RPG Maker for myself. Just until I learn C and then I''ll make the best games in the world! MWHAHAHAHAAHHAHA!!!! Anyways, I need some help. How do I make it so you get a tileset that is on the side, it displays all the tiles. You click on one, and click the map and the tile is displayed on the map. How do you do that with Visual Basic 4.0? And will that work with all the tiles?

Not sure if this answers your question, but...
I would recommend the book "The Black Art of Game Programming with Visual Basic" or maybe that last part was flipped around...but anyhow, it covers the BitBlt funtion in there. Are you familiar with it? That may help. Or maybe I took the question the wrong way completely...oh well. And yeah, look into VB 6. Don''t stop coding though
