Hello

I'm trying to make this in VB 6. I have a pic of a satellite and pic of the earth. I want to make the satellite move along the curvature of the earth.
I tried changing the top & left properties of the image to make it move and tried using the do while loop to do this but am not sure how to implement it properly.
I'm attaching the .frm file.

Thank you

Are u talking abt 2D or 3D

For 2D vb does the job


for 3d u may require dirextx or opengl or activex

It's 2D. I just want it to be simple schematic of how a satellite moves around the earth. After I achieve this, I also plan to move the antenna along the motion of the satellite so that it looks like the antenna is tracking the satellite.
