Most software developers have no animation skills at all, yet increasingly they are called upon to deliver animation on Web sites and in other interactive media. Starting with the simplest aspects of animations, the book moves on to cover animation art and Visual Basic animation tools, simple platform and puzzle games, screen savers, and simple 3D raycasting techniques.

A sequence of Visual Basic programming code samples for studying basic computer animation. Samples are arranged systematically and progressively. Visual Basic basic knowledge and experiences are required. To execute the samples, Windows PC and Visual Basic of Visual Studio are required. Visual Studio 2008 was used to create the samples. Since the most common features are used to code the samples that the samples should work for the prior or next versions of Visual Studio. Picture files used by the samples can be downloaded from the internet.
