Tetris Tut?

Question

I'm sure this has been asked before and I even searched but could not get the source code downloaded from skydrive. So I'm looking for a good youtube video tut on how to make Tetris in Vb using paint or picture boxes. I'd preffer using picture boxes but making the shapes using paint arg would be fine. Just need something simple and step by step video wise. thanks in advance.

Answer 1

What was the problem with downloading the file from Skydrive?

I'll be honest with you.  There are plenty of step-by-step videos on the web.  Good luck finding one that shows you how to write a complete Tetris program, in VisualBasic.NET no less and not some other language.  You could probably learn VB.NET and write the program yourself before you find such a video.

What is a "tut" anyway?

I'm sorry but how was your post helpful? I'm sorry but you did not tell me or anyone any thng we did not know allready. I'm requesting information for a tut about the software. I have ideas how to complete the software but I would like a tut to follow and to help me further my Vb skills. Please only post HELPFUL information please. If you have a link, that would be great. Thank you.

A "tut" is a tutorial aka a educational set of instructions to show some one how to do something. In this case how to program or what logical steps to take to produce the game "tetris".

A "tut" is...

Oh you mean a tutorial, why did you not say so?

I thought you meant a disapproval as in this web definition: LOL.

   Definition for tut:

Web definitions:

tsk: utter `tsk,' `tut,' or `tut-tut,' as in disapproval.

I don't think you will find a full video tutorial on tetris game because there is too much code to put together. You will learn from the code better than the video, all you have to do is just download the full project and run it and it's free download.
