This is for all of you who know how to use Visual Basic.
Okay, here's the deal: For my Advance Visual Basic class, the final project is really open-ended. We've just learned about pictures ad moving them. I decided that for my final project, I'd try to make a DDR sim using VB6.
What I'm looking for is tips on how to do this, as I have had a bit of a hard time paying attention in class, and have a tough time understanding things like control arrays. I also want to know where I can find some DDR arrow clip art to put on the program, and whether or not it's possible to incorporate MP3's into Basic.

You might want to use directX...specifically directDraw for the graphics. But I don't know if you know how to do that. As for mp3's, I've never done them, but you might be able to find an ActiveX component or something that will play them easily.

You will quickly learn that I tire of meaningless posts that add nothing to the discussion.
I've worked with DirectDraw to a degree, and it wasn't that hard to deal with. Since you're already using VB, it'd probably be a piece of cake to plug in and run with.
As for where to get arrow graphics and the like, have you considered the resources in Stepmania and its associated skins?
You probably already know about this site, but in case you don't...The Code Project. Loads of VB and VC++ sample code, controls, and tutorials. I'm sure you'd be able to find an OCX there that would load a codec DLL and play MPEG audio (including MP3).
OMG I didn't realize this post was so old. O.o
