Publisher's Synopsis
COMPUTER BIBLE GAMES WITH VISUAL BASIC is a self-study semester long "beginning" programming tutorial consisting of 13 Chapters explaining (in simple, easy-to-follow terms) how to build VISUAL BASIC Windows applications and games. Students learn about project design, the VISUAL BASIC toolbox, and many elements of the VISUAL BASIC language. Numerous examples are used to demonstrate every step in the building process. The tutorial also includes several detailed computer projects for students to build and try.
The projects built include a number guessing game, a card game, an allowance calculator, a drawing program, a state capitals game, video games, and three classic Computer Bible Games. The Computer Bible Games include:
Daniel and the Lions - Shoot Prayers at the Lions to protect Daniel in the Lion's Den
Elijah and the Ravens - Move Elijah to catch the falling bread as he is fed by the Ravens
Noah's Ark - Race the turtle to Noah's Ark before the Great Flood starts
We have also included the source code to several college prep bonus projects including a loan calculator, portfolio manager, and a checkbook balancer to get you ready for those college courses.
COMPUTER BIBLE GAMES WITH VISUAL BASIC is presented using a combination of over 700 pages of course notes and actual VISUAL BASIC examples. No prior programming experience is necessary, but familiarity with doing common tasks using Microsoft Windows is expected. The tutorial actually teaches the student to program so the teacher or parent does not need to learn programming or teach programming to the student themselves.
COMPUTER BIBLE GAMES WITH VISUAL BASIC requires a minimum of Microsoft Windows 7 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition. This tutorial is not compatible with Microsoft Visual Studio 2019.
The VISUAL BASIC source code and all needed multimedia files are available for download from the publisher's website (www.BibleByteBooks.com) after book registration.
