A bit more on sprite editing. Read sprite1.htm if you haven't already. This just discusses a bit more on the actual editing of the sprite, as well as displaying it in your program.

sprite1.htm

A little tutorial on using sprites in your game. I believe it's by Apester (former webmaster of QBRPGS), but I'm not too sure. Uses DATA statements (icky), but it's there for concepts, not for finished products.

Matt Bross's nice 3d tutorial for QB. Very in-depth, and very handy for learning how to do 3d in QB. Mostly traditional methods, but very handy to someone who has yet to learn 3d graphics programming.

Mallards gfx tutorial. This is a decent tutorial, and newbies should learn a bit from it. It uses DATA statements a lot, but hey, it's the thought that counts!

Aaron Severn's 3D Tutorial. This is a nice introduction to 3d, and makes for a decent "refresher course". It can be a bit technical for a newbie to 3d math, but overall it's not too tough.

Discusses scrolling in mode-x, standard mode 13h, and parallax-type scrolling. Not extremely clearly written, but it gets the main points across well. Good for newbies to scrolling
