Some useful links... - JokeofWeek - 20-09-2008
These are some useful links I've found throughout the previous year. Personally, I find many of these useful, so I hope they can help you guys too.
- -http://www.gamedev.net/ - A website with tons of articles on many things related to gaming and programming. Has many neat articles on AI and other useful snippets.
-http://www.tar.hu/gamealgorithms/index.html - Many algorithms on many different topics. However, none of these are in VB6, but you can still use them, since you can easily convert them to VB6.
-http://web.njit.edu/~kevin/rgb.txt.html - Loads of RGB colors, great for when playing around with values for chat and such.
-http://mu.ranter.net/theory/ - Quite a few good articles on things such as balancing and economy design.
-http://www.devmaster.net/articles.php - Once again, a site with many algorithms. Once again, these are not in VB6, but you can easily change them to VB6.
