Description

A Filipino Oriented, Open Source, Freeware, Adventure game developed in Visual Basic 6 with the use of DirectX8.

Remarks/Some Comments

This is my first ever game, i have used this is my college thesis. i got a grade of 1.5, Because the professor and my panelists didn't know how to program games... :P

And DirectX is a strange to them, They only know how to program databases and business programs. They SUCKED!!

Well, My defense focuses mainly on my Support Document but they didn't check the efficiency of my code and they didn't bother looking at my code listing =). That is also a reason why plenty of students passed the thesis even they payed someone to program their Thesis Software, because they really focuses mainly on support document.

One of my panelist told me if i have enrolled in AMA makati, my panalist will focus on my software than on my support docs, but i have enrolled in AMA QC thats why they focused on my Docs....

Before the term that i got my Thesis B, Some student's from other school seek for my programming skills for their thesis. I only accepted one thesis from Letran, the program is soooo easy, a simple database application programmed in Visual Foxpro, using only database objects in foxpro without using the SQL Commands. Well, he used it in almost 3 subjects..... 2 subjects need it for case study, and one for his course thesis.

Then after, a student from my School, AMA Computer university, a friend of my friend, seek my services in programming. I programmed his Thesis Software using visual basic 6, A laboratory monitoring and inventory system using only Visual basic 6 and DAO for accessing MS Access Database. Good for him he got 1.5.

I Personally Thanked, Mam Limbauan for her support, She continuously check my software and patiently corrected my errors in my document. 

I Only learned programming games and using DirectX8 in the internet, thats why I distribute this game on the net as an Opensource and freeware. For others may have also some learning materials to start with. because when im researching in the net, their are only few resources that pertains to Visual Basic and DirectX development.

The site that helped me a lot is www.DirectX4VB.com, great site for VB gamer, but it really focues on DIrect X, but their are plenty of good links in that site.
