If you're a beginning programmer, take time to learn how to write small programs before jumping into games. Any gaming books that deals with VB is complete crap. Once you have a grasp on the language, start looking into OpenGL and DirectX books. They'll all use C++ but there are resources on the net to show you how to convert the various objects and calls into VB.

I mean I'm a beginner at game programming,I'm intermediate at reg programming,

 

[BoberFett]

Oh, well then I'd simply sit down with the DirectX and/or OpenGL SDKs.

Just off the top of my head, Patrice Scribe has been on the VB graphics scene for a long time. Converting libraries and whatnot. A quick search turned up this as his site.
