1) I am making a game where i need a larger screen than i have so i can move around. I am making a Pokemon type of game..and i have no clue how i can move  so that its not just a 10 x 10 screen. Any input please

2) How can you make a server so that i can play a game i made with a computer next to me?

 

Thanks for anyone who can help

Not sure about the scrolling. Check the a1vbcode database, i think there is some dx and side scrolling stuff in there for games. as for creating a server, you need to learn the winsock control.

Start researching "tile maps". This is pretty much the norm now days compared to using a big bitmap to scroll around. A tile map is basically a 2D array filled with numbers representing a tile that gets blitted to the screen. Standard stuff going back to the Nintendo 8 bit days.

You can do it using standard BitBlt via VB6 but you probably want to research using DirectX instead. Much more flexable and faster.
