CERTAINLY one of the best logic games ever (at least open-source :) ! The game is based on Microsoft® Finty-Flush, the only difference is that this game is totaly free, and you have the full source code. Have a look at the screenshot. Now, the objective is to fill all empty grids (four small boxes) with the balls of the same color. You must drop the columns from the upper grid to the lower grid by clicking on the upper table (grid), you can rotate the lower grid by clicking the left or right mouse button. There are five levels, each level adds new color in the game, the last level is almost impossible to complete, so it is great challenge. You must fill out three grids to complete a level, you can manipulate four grids at the same time. For each 4 or 8 seconds new row is added, so when there are 25 rows in the upper grid, guess what - game over. You can play this game for a long time, without getting bored (which is the most case in logic games), there are many, many, many combinations of colors, many tricks, and you need fast thinking. You can learn here how to make the best brain games, the code is simple and commented. But the game is not only for learning of course, it is VERY interesting, so why to buy it from Microsoft, when you can play it in vb. And one more thing: VOTE !!!

Simple windows explorer clone, have all the needed functions: files/dirs copy, move, delete or send them to r. bin. Oh yea, and rename too :) ! It is very simple, just to show on how to manage files, or create nice looking file/dirs-view. Pretty easy code...

This program lists all the applications, modules, and threads in tree view and list view. It can also suspend or resume thread, kill process, and gives you detailed informations for each process or module. And it works under Win XP/NT/2000 .... or any other Windows platform. This is finished program, but classes and modules are very easy to use. It is only 64Kb file, and there are many things to learn from it.

An advanced file manager utility, better and more advanced then windows explorer. It is fast, and have viewer for bmp, gif, jpg, ico, wmf, dib, and wav files. There is also support for explorer 'File' menu, zip/unzip features, and implemented text editor with more stuffs then windows notepad, fast file search... etc. Only few KB, download it, and vote... And NO scripting runtime.

This example will show you how to make fast and hi-quality windows games by using basic GDI functions, no VB controls like lines, picture boxes or such stuff. You will learn how to use bitmaps, how to draw them, load them into memory, how to use DC, create them, draw on them, etc. It is a simple Lunar Lander game, screenshot is included if you want to see the game. If you want to make proffesional 2d games that can be played at any computer, have a look at this example... 15kb only ;)

Very nice 2d arcade side-scrooling directx7 game, there are sounds, music, nice graphics, 4 levels, bunch of monsters, all that 2d game must have. If you like Super Mario, then you WILL like this game. I wrote it a year ago, and dont have time to add more levels (there are 4 only, about 30 minutes to play). Please vote if you liked it.

Shows you how to use files to store any type of data, in 4-5 lines of code you can save anything as a binary file. Of course, there is a button for opening them :), download it if you dont know how to use Put, Get, binary stuffs. In a 10 lines of code, you can make a small database, if you know how to handle binary files.

If you hate Microsoft DataGrid and you dont need, cant find or dont have $300 for other grid then you are gonna love this ;). This is an activex control made in vb to replace bug-plagued DataGrid that you got with vs6. It is pretty fast, supports many things that are left behind in MS DataGrid and it is open-source (though not for proper distribution for now). Have a look at screenshots if there are some (psc might not allow me to upload them). There are some examples included on how to use the grid. It does not matter what drivers are used since this grid uses t-sql for reading/writing data. For now it does not support built-in editors, but that is to be added in next version. Just download the example and experiment a bit. If you need any help on using the control post comment here and I will be glad to help. This is first version, so please post any bugs you may find.

Version 1.5 of award winning Wolf DataGrid, fully working data grid now with many new features.
