Racing game with VB6 isn't simple.

However you should use DirectX 7 or 8 to make a almost-good game.

When you say simple racing game I think of the old carnival racing game with the horses that run in a wavy strait line because of player action. If this is something like you are talking about minus the player interaction then...

Imagecontrols with different colored race horse bmp/icons aligned to the left side of the form.
Timer control
Randomize Statement
Rnd Function
Command Buttons (Start/bet/etc.)



Good Luck

Any type of Game Programming in VB6 is not simple nor is it for beginners. You said you were a student....is this an advance course you are taking?

I would follow gibra's DirectX suggestion.
