    <p>I am developing a game in VB6 (plz don't ask me why :) ).<br> The storyboard is ready and a rough implementation is underway.</p> <p>I am following a "pure-software-rendering" approach. (i.e. no DirectX, no openGL etc.)</p> <p>Amongst many others, the following <strong>"serious"</strong> problems exist:</p> <ul> <li><p><strong>2D alpha transparency</strong> reqd. to implement overlays.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Parallax implementation</strong> to give depth-of-field illusion.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Capturing mouse-scroll</strong> events globally (as in FPS-es; mapping them to changing weapon).</p></li> <li><p><strong>Async sound play</strong> with absolute "near-zero-lag".</p></li> </ul> <hr> <p>Any ideas anyone. Please suggest any well documented <strong>library/ocx</strong> or <strong>sample-code</strong>.<br> Plz do suggest solutions with good performance and as little overhead as possible.</p> <p>Also, anyone who has developed any games,<br> and would be open to sharing her/his code would be highly appreciated.<br> (any well-acknowledged VB games whose source-code i can study??)</p> <hr> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> Here is a screen shot of <strong><a href="http://www.gearheadgarage.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GearHead Garage</a></strong>.<br> This picture ought to describe what i was attempting in words above... :)</p> <p><a href="http://screenshots.softwarepod.com/9518/screenshot.gif" rel="nofollow noreferrer">alt text http://screenshots.softwarepod.com/9518/screenshot.gif</a></p>
