SimpleGameEngine 🚀

First Draft version of Direct2D porting to Visual Basic .NET and First Try to create a Simple Game Engine with Snake test game. It is very early release.

Use GPU Accelleration

Thanks to Direct2D instead of GDI, it uses GPU power to render each frame. It uses a multi-thread approach for rendering.

How to use

1. Include VBDirect2D and SimpleGameEngine class in your project.
2. Create new class and inherit SimpleGameEngine class
3. Override OnSessionCreate(), OnSessionDelete() and OnFrameUpdate(ByVal fElapsed As Single) subs

Public Class TestClass
  Inherits SimpleGameEngine
  
   Protected Overrides Sub OnSessionCreate()
        ' Create resources
        MyBase.OnSessionCreate()
    End Sub

    Protected Overrides Sub OnFrameUpdate(fElapsed As Single)
        ' Clear screen
        Clear(Color.MidnightBlue)

        MyBase.OnFrameUpdate(fElapsed)
    End Sub
    
End Class
