I want to make my new game for my College assignment rule beyond belief. And I want it to be fun, with music in the background as well. Now I suppose what I need to ask is, does anyone know Microsoft visual basic? I need to program some key points:

-The game is a simple up and down dodging game, where you must manuver up and down to avoid incomming enemies.

-I have programmed in the title screen, the instruction screen and parts of the game

-I have made it so the background is there, and the character can be moved up and down. Now I need to add the enemy characters, and figure out how to program in Music to run in the background. Does anyone know how to do that?

When the games finished it's gonna be made into an EXE File for me and i plan to burn it to disk, as well as send some of my net friends a copy so that they may add to it!

only if he's signed a form for intellectual property I think.

Employers own by default, but education institutions don't unless you sign it over or use their IP
