I posted this in another thread, but as seen on , ASpriteCE, an ActiveX control for making games in eVB is now freeware! I payed 30 bucks for this control a few months ago and I am very impressed with it. This is a must have for eVB games. You can write games and apps in eVB with almost the speed of a eVC++ program.
You can find it at as well as AWaveCE (freeware) a control for handling sound and music.
