I'm in the process of making board game created into a pc game. It will be a 2-d basic board game. What I'm looking for, how to move pixels a certain space. I'm not all certain on how the game is played but right now I'm just wondering how to move a picture certain number of spaces. This will most likely be based on a dice roll I'll create later.

I am wondering how to get the players pawn to move around the board if it is a circle. They have to move according the the number they role on the dice. I have the dice rolling and finding numbers, but its the moving i'm having trouble with
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a turn-based board game that will be run on multiple computers. I am writing the game logic and design in VB. I searched for a little and could not find the information I was looking for. One question I have is, will I need a server if there will only be 2 players. Also, what language should I use to write the server side code.
View 1 Repliesthe rules are that same coloured blocks of two or more can be removed by clicking on them. blocks then slide down from above. if a column is empty columns other columns move in from the sides.when someone clicks on the green blocks in the bottom row the columns should slide in from the sides. columns to the left of the black line slide right and on the right of the black line slide left. so in this case only the two rightmost columns should slide from the right to the black line after removing the green blocks.The problem i am having is in designing a suitable algorihm to do the collapsing after the removal. my current approach is to test each column from left to right to see if it is empty. if it is empty then i slide whatever column is to the left (if left of the black line) or to the right (if to the right of the black line) over the blank column and repeat this in the direct i am sliding from
View 1 RepliesSo i am working on a GUI for a game (just some messing around in VB.net tho) and i came across the following problem. The board of my game consists of a 70*35 grid of RectangleShapes on which i can move around. When i start my program it renders the board from right to left on the screen and i have serious lag when i try to move around on it. I know you'd normally use double buffering to reduce flickering, but that didn't do anything (unless i'm doing it wrong).
This is my code:
Code:
Dim player As Player = New Player
Dim board(70, 35) As RectangleShape
#Region "Initialisation"

Ok, so I'm making a simple breakout game, using picture boxes as I didn't want to bother installing picture boxes.Every movement works perfectly fine; the pad moves correctly, the ball bounces right. Except when I move the pad while the ball is moving.If I move the pad while the ball is moving, the ball moves at the same speed as the pad, which is 10 times the speed of the ball.Well here's the movement code.
Code:
Public Sub Movement(ByVal Movement As String) ' Handles movement
If Not IsPlaying Then Exit Sub

i recently took a look at a game i tried to put together, and decided i wanted to finish it.The game is a shooter game that creates 'walls' that the player should not be able to move into. These walls are panels, and currently, im using one keydown event to move both players. This is not a good thing, because it makes it impossible for both players to shoot and move at the same time. The player should not be able to run through the walls
View 2 Repliesi'm not very familiar with GDI+, but i managed to create some basic functions of Space Invaders game i try to develop in Compact Framework. I have problems drawing the images (Spaceship, bullets, enemies). The screen is flashing a lot. I use a buffer bitmap in which i draw images to the new positions, and i have 1 line of code that just draws the buffer to screen
[Code]...
i use me.Invalidate inside a timer so every 50msec the game redraw the screen with new positions. Why the buffering does not work?? It can't be the emulator that i preview the program, it is flashing A LOT. Is there any similar code / project that could help me? i'm tring to find a similar project for COMPACT FRAMEWORK but i only find C++ .net examples. i need VB .NET COMPACT FRAMEWORK examples
i've looked up several tutorials on what i should do to create a collision detection, but im not too positive on how to function my ideas and convert them to code.Basically, i'm creating a space invaders like-game that is 2D Mario-themed (sprites used).I am using a panel for my enemies and Mario is being controlled by the movement of arrow keys and space button shoots.The problem is I can not make my bullets collide with the enemies to make them disappear. This piece of code is what i've got so far with the collision detection :
Code:
'*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
' Collision occurs whenever the pctShoot(podoboo) hits any of the enemy
' When blnTrue, both pctShoot and the enemy disappear
[code].....
While I'm at it, i have another question in concern; but this is not really related to collision but:How do you make an object move down automatically using a timer but make it appear randomly?Like any space invader game, the enemies are shooting back at the hero to make it appear more challenging right?(using Visual Basic 2008)
I am currently making a small flood runner like game, I completed most of it, but I can't seem to get the jump action right. I got it to jump straight up and back down again, but it doesn't work when I use a left/right arrow key with it to perform a left/right jump. The sprite goes straight up if I only press space.What I want- The sprites goes up and right or left when I press space while holding right or left.

View 2 RepliesI am attempting to create a game in Visual Studio 2008 that allows a user 10 attempts to guess a random number between 1 and 50. I have a label box in which I would like to display the remaining guesses as they decrement. The code so far appears below.
My two (I am sure very basic) questions are:
1. How would I pass the random integer generated through the Generate Integer function to the AmIRight button's click function? I was trying to decrement the counter each time the "Am I Right " button is pressed.
2. I would also like to evaluate each "guess" when the "Am I right button is pressed. Is it possible to nest a Select Case statement in a For Next Loop?

The original string is like this: sLine = " 1 Screen"
What I want is this: sLine = "000001 Screen" (I do want to keep the space between the number and the text, so that is why its not just a replace) What I see with the following code is this: sLine = "01 Screen" Some how the replace does the first char, but then is not adding the zeros to the rest of the string, its just removing them (somehow I think it must think integer?

I am using VS2008. I worked on this problem for a time, but I was not successful doing it. Below is the VS file.I need to produce a grid of cells and have some random features as shown below which is an example of a world of (500 x 500) units (or any other size and grid size). It contains three areas (of 11 cells, Value of each cell = 108), two green areas (of 8 cells, Value of each cell = 137) and one river. The start point of the river should start from one of the world edges and finish to another one. Please note that number of feature could increase or decrease according to user inputs.The question is, how can I produce these features randomly? To clarify the question, I will read the number of areas from a form. I need these features so that the number of cells should be distributed randomly beside (attached to) each other in the world. The rivers occupy one sequential grid line. My problem is how can I randomly generate the features according to number of cells??
View 1 RepliesI am trying to design a report where one filed can be multiple lines and the other related field should be located below (See attached)
address may be 1 one or more lines, city state zip should be located just below.
I already have the field set to can grow, however the spacing is the issue. How do I make the spacing adjust at runtime depending on the number of lines in the field. I can space it to say 3 lines, but if the address filed is only 1 line it leaves a 3 line gap.
How would i get a certain text inside a textbox to equal that text space to space or null to space?
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If Textbox1.Text.StartsWith(Textbox2.Text + " ") And Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(Textbox2.Text) Then
Textbox1.Text = Textbox1.Text.Remove(0, Textbox2.TextLength)
Textbox3.AppendText("a")
End If
Btw: after i finish this step my project will be finished!
I would like to load a GIF file, and start with the first pixel and check to see if that pixel color is closer to Black, Red, Green or Yellow, then take what ever color it closest matched to and output that color as a number, 0, 1, 2 or 3. So just for a small example a 5x4 GIF would be converted to something like this: 0112223322220111332?

I decided to take up the task of writing an app for Dungeons and Dragons. I play with my friends and I'm trying to make it a little bit easier.Before every round of combat players roll dice for Initiative. It basically tells the games manager who goes first and in what order the rest of the players go. When players roll for initiative they roll 20 sided dice. On Form1 I have a button that says "Initiative" which opens another window where the manager would type in each players values. Then I want the program to take those values and order the players from highest to lowest in a list on Form1. Kind of like...

Stuck programming a random number generator game. one is to guess what the random number. I have coded most of it and am pleased, but there are some hitches. a) When running the program if you guess 10 it says," Guess Higher" which is impossible as the num gen stops at 10 (if you guess 9 and the number is lower than 9 it says guess lower . . . which it is supposed to do)
b) When asked to play again if one clicks no it calls you a loser and exits the problem is it does the same if you click yes. How can I get it to simply start over if yes is clicked
c) Does anyone know how to make an image move up or down based on the input? IE if guess needs to be higher the image moves higher? Lower and it moves lower?

How can I find out the pixel colour of a certain point on a web browser. For instance,WebBrowser1.getPixelColor(0,0) would get the rgb colour value of pixel 0, 0.It doesn't have to be rgb it might be hsl or whatever.The web browser is showing a local web page that is hosted on a network. If there is an error then the screen goes all grey. What I want to do is, if this does happen, display an alert message like - "An error has occurred
