Here is a link for the eVB runtime files.

Oh, and you play by tapping the moving eye with your stylus. There are slow, medium, fast, and insane buttons to make the eye move. Once you select a speed button, tap the start game button and the eye will begin moving at the speed you selected. If you push the start game button without selecting a speed it will default to medium speed. The object of the game is to tap the eye 40 times, without missing. This version of Magick Eye is 1.0. In the next version I will include the runtime files and you will be able to put the .exe, .vb, and the other files in any directory you want.

Hey everyone. Magick Eye has now been updated to version 1.1!

Here is what's new in version 1.1:

GUI improvements.
Sound!!!
Cleaned up menu.
The eVB runtime files are now included.
Desktop installer included.

On the bad side, the once 10-20k files are now HUGE (1-2MB)! It's not because of the sound and other program updates, it's because of the eVB runtime files. Also, the game (for now), has to be installed in the default location (main memory) :( . But don't worry, because the game is still really small. So if you already have eVB games installed on your Pocket PC, then you will only be losing about 200K of main memory. :)

Yeah Courtney, VB is pretty simple. I have taken a few VB 6.0 classes at my college and so I know a bit, but I had never made a game before. I was going to base my code on an existing VB 6.0 RPG and basically port it. Boy was I wrong. I scraped that idea really quick. eVB and VB 6.0 are alot different and many functions are not avalible in eVB that are in VB 6.0. So I decided to start with a simple game and work my way up. So I made Magick Eye. I am now working on a RPG that I am writing from scratch. After I get eVB pretty well figured out, I'm going to dive into eVC++.


Also, has anyone tried the ARM and MIPS versions? I'm curious to know if they work.
