# Direct-War

I created this game in 2004 as my very first game project for fun. It is a simple 2D game written in Visual Basic 6 using DirectX 7.0 API. DirectX parts are created as modules as the game used sound, music, drawing and input functions from DirectX. This project can be used for learning the basics of game programming hehe.

My computer was at that time(hehe):  

Pentium 233 Mhz  

32 MB RAM  

4 MB VGA  

Windows 98  

I have recently tested it again in recent Linux distributions and it works fine using the WINE project:

You can run the game using Dwar.exe but you need DirectX 7 for Visual Basic along with few other library files as follows:  

MSVBVM60.DLL  

OLEAUT32.DLL  

Olepro32.dll  

ASYCFILT.DLL  

STDOLE2.TLB  

COMCAT.DLL  

dx7vb.dll  

To play control the plane with keyboard buttons:

A for firing  

S for bomb    

Cheers!
