About this guide

Thank you for checking out "ORPG Development and Theory"! This guide is written for those who are interested in creating an online RPG, whether they are building their own from scratch or designing one with an engine. It is important to know and understand how everything works behind the scenes, whether you are coding it or not.

All examples in this guide are written in the programming language Visual Basic 6. Though, this does not mean you need to know or understand this language to understand this guide. Visual Basic is a very simple to understand programming language, so if you can program in any other language, you will be able to understand most all of the syntax and functions referred to. I try to keep it very language-independent, though, so programmers of any language can use this.

To get started, please use the navigation bar to the right.

Most all information used in this guide is also used in my open source engine, vbGORE (vbgore.com). Feel free to check it out to see the code and techniques in action!
