Maybe I''m just bad at Visual Basic, but I find C++ much easier for game programming. I think it''s a much more powerful and flexible programming language that will bog you down much less when your project gets big. Visual Basic is great for rapid development of windows apps (level editors, maybe?), but that''s not what you''re looking for when you want to make a game engine.

You should check out http://www.jejik.com/ the game has full source code in visual c++ and is the best example of what a simple game engine looks like. It''s gl not directX.
