I know I can use TV3D for 2D but I need something else.

Long time ago there was DXGame. A very powerful 2d engine for VB6. The whole engine had a lot of features like:
- explosion creator (directly from code... no other resources needed)
- search in pak files
- math functions to create "intelligent bullets" (for example a rocket which follow the enemy in a 2d scroll space game Tongue)
- and many others...

Cant use it in VB.net so I am searching for something else.

Thanks in advance,

I used DXGame as well. I have been casually looking for another good 2D engine for .Net too. I had an entire complete game written using DXGame, then the engine maker quit and I have problems with DXG on Vista Sad

Hi,

Just a quick note to say that, according to the site, the last version (2.2.0) will be the last one. It's finished, they say. Support will be through the foruns.

Regards

Yeah, I use FlatRedBall a little before, I am personally shooting for a 2.5D isometric game, I never got far enough to see if FRB could do 2.5D like I want. I guess it is time to find out Cheesy

EDIT: Just gave a quick read through on some topics in their forums, 2.5D(iso) looks like it would be a challenge, lots of mods needed to achieve it. I am just going to use TV3D for it Smiley

Well if you want to make a game > than 2D, TV3D is what you need Smiley

I was looking for another engine because I want to make a simple casual game which will be 2D

I think I will remain with dxlib32 because is pretty simple to use it Smiley

Thanks all for replys.
