Free Visual Basic Game Programming for Teens, Third Edition )
This book is great straight from the beginning. The introduction gets you excited for the rest of the book. Over all the book shows you how to create a fully functional RPG engine for free. None of the tools used in the book require you to purchase them. The author walks you through step by step how to recreate the game. Not everything is covered, but you learn a lot for the size of the book. The engine it self is a pretty advanced 2D engine with plenty of room for customization and expansion. The book also makes a great companion to C# Game Programming for Teens. With the other book you can expand a little on the game adding dungeons with much of the code being similar its not too hard to rewrite it for one or the other. Just like the C# book it comes with many tools that you can use to customize the game without even writing new code. The only flaw I see in this book is it is a little fast paced for someone new to programming. Some sections you might have to reread to understand, but the author tries to make it simple for everyone. I suggest having at least some experience with visual basic to help you out. I have not complete the book but look forward to learning new things and expanding on the game.

Seems to be a good book. My son is reading it and using it to write a video game. We had some problems downloading the 'source code' from the book, but I emailed the author and got a quick accurate response. I'm glad he helped us out, otherwise we would not have liked the book much at all. As it stands, it is a very useful book.
