2D Game Development with Managed DirectX Tutorial work begins today

Similar to Scott, I felt pretty aimless after finishing off my game. I've been pouring so much work into the game contest in the evenings and the weekends that not having anything to work on felt pretty odd.

So, to take advantage of my current "work horse" mentality, I'm going to attempt to provide some Managed DirectX tutorials for those interested in developing 2D games. These tutorials will be created using Visual Basic.NET (the express version) which is a language seriously lacking in Managed DirectX tutorials so hopefully I'll be filling a previously unfilled tutorial gap (although to be honest converting from C# to VB.NET is really easy and there are plenty of C# tutorials).

I'm planning on starting to work on the first tutorial today, so hopefully I will have the first one up by tonight.

Way to give back to the community! Good beans, George. :)

(I was going to suggest writing ANOTHER game, but that works too!)
