Hello, I am currently an intermediate visual basic .net programmer. I would like to learn how to make some games. I have also downloaded a directX SDK but I have no idea where to start. Also i seen that most games are made with C languages so i was going to learn one but not sure which to learn first(C/C++/C#)
Any help and some tutorials are something to get me started would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Korab

The DirectX SDK got many c#.net (managed directx) samples and tutorials, these are not hard to convert to vb.net code, you could even use a online c# to vb converter.
Look at this topic, which has some usefull links, inlcuding c# to vb converters:

You can also buy one of these books, which where very usefull to me.
