Bouncing Ball Game Application - Move The Paddle Left And Right ?

Apr 29, 2012

I have to make a bouncing ball game application. all the code is given to me except for code to move the paddle left and right, and code to start the game. i have to write an if...then statement in a keydown event handler that tests whether the user presses the s key. i then have to add an elseif statement that tests whether the user pressed the left-arrow key and whether the paddle's horizontal position (rectangleX) is greater than zero. if the paddle's horizontal position equals zero, the left edge of the paddle is touching the left wall and the paddle should not be allowed to move farther to the left( i am not sure how to do this part). if the conditions are true in the if then statement, the paddle's x-position should decrease by 10. then i need an elseif statement that tests whether the right arrow key is pressed and whether the paddles x-coord is less than the width of the form minus the width of the paddle. if it equals out the paddle should not be allowed to move farther right. if both conditions are true the paddles x-coordinate is increased by 10

This is the code i have written:

Private Sub BouncingBallForm_Keydown(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal s As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) _
Handles BouncingBallForm.Keydown

[CODE]...

Game - Bouncing Ball With Paddle

Feb 13, 2010

Write an application that allows the user to play a game, in which the goal is to prevent a bouncing ball from falling off the bottom of the Form. When the user presses the S key, a blue ball bounces off the top, left and right sides (the �walls�) of the Form. A horizontal bar on the bottom of the Form serves as a paddle to prevent the ball from hitting the bottom of the Form. (The ball can bounce off the paddle, but not the bottom of the Form.) The user can move the paddle using the left and right arrow keys. If the ball hits the paddle, it bounces up, and the game continues. If the ball hits the bottom of the Form, the game ends. The paddle�s width decreases every 30 seconds to make the game more challenging.

Arkanoid Type Game - Bouncing A Ball Off A Surface That Disapears?

Jul 7, 2010

I have a timer that bounces the ball around. It has 2 separate parts, one for bouncing off the wall and paddle, and one for hitting a block.It touches the block and the block is suppose to disappear, it then bounces away and should not bounce where the block is again because it is gone ,So basically the problem I'm having is, every time I add a line that tells it not to bounce off the block if it is not visible, it hits the top of the block (which is the side I'm testing) and seems to get stuck on a horizontal line and just bounces left and right.Here's my timer code.

vb

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

'This top line below reads the last 'thespeedx/y' value and applies it to the new location information of the ball (which will be called shpcircle) This determines the direction, based on a constant speed[code].....

Apr 5, 2011

I have a this program I have to write but I have no clue where to even start.New Years Ball Drop?Design a program that replicates the Times Square New Year�s Eve ball drop. You can use a picture from the Internet of the ball you wish to use.Functionality Requirements:

-The ball will take exactly 30 seconds to move down the pole

-Need a timer to count down from 30 and reach 0 when the ball is at the end of the pole

-The timer will randomly change colour every few seconds

- When the ball has finished descending, the text �Happy New Year!� will display on the screen

-Need a button on the form that, when clicked, stops the ball drop and timer (so screenshots can be taken). When the button is clicked again, the timer and ball drop should resume from where it left off.

How Do I Move A Form To The Left?

Apr 1, 2011

create a windows app. project with one form and 2 buttons ( if you tell me how to do one of the buttons, I'll figure out the other one). When you click one button it should move the form 2 pixels to the left. The other should move the form 2 pixels to the right.As a hint, he says to use the form's "LEFT" property -- but, I don't see "LEFT" in the properties window for the form.

PowerPacks - GUI For A Game - When Start Program It Renders The Board From Right To Left On The Screen

Mar 14, 2012

So 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"

I have been working on an rpg for a while now and iv been experimenting with different ways to get the background to move with the character. I dont have any directx experience at all so im trying to stay away from using it so my question is, if i design a 2d background in photoshop is there any way id be able to insert the entire picture in a picture box and have the character always remain in the center of the screen as the background follows him. my one idea is to make the background image bigger than the picture box and have the picture box some how follow the character.

Make A 2 Player Game But Both Players Can't Move At Once Unless They Tap The Keys?

Aug 20, 2009

Well I am trying to make a 2 player game but both players can't move at once unless they tap the keys (can't hold the key down or the other person can't move). How would I fix this as well as being able to go diagonally.Would this work?:Declare a bool value for each keypress below the public class thingy. Then use keyup to turn the bool off and keydown makes it go on. Then for the first player and second player I check if they are on and if they are than go to that direction...I think I would need a timer for that part but I dunno...
