Game Is Generating Enemy Bullets From Already Killed Enemies?
Nov 24, 2009
I am creating a game for my class, it is above the level that I know a bit, but I have learned a lot from creating it.My problem is that when my user (doctor) sends out a bullet and it hits the enemy (the enemies are generated into a collection), the picturebox is disabled and no longer visible, but that picturebox spot in the collection for all the enemies is still there.
So when I generate a bullet and shot it from a random enemy in the enmCollection, sometimes that random enemy is one that is already been killed.I tried using enmCollection.Remove(..) whenever the collision with the enemy and a bullet occurs, but it gives me an overflow error or another error.
I've been trying for a day now.Everything in the game works correctly except for this.

I am creating a game for my class, it is above the level that I know a bit, but I have learned a lot from creating it.
This is how it it works:
-Every time a timer ticks a picturebox is created and displayed on the form, the picturebox is added to a collection. These enemies then move down the form
-My character fires bullets, and when they hit the enemy the enemy and the bullet gets disabled and removed, but not from the collection
-I have another timer that when it ticks, a random number is generated between 1, and the enemy collection count, so that a enemy missile can randomly come out of an enemy
This all works, but after the enemies are hit and removed from view, bullets still get generated from spots where the enemies once where, so to me that means that the destroyed enemies still remain in the collection.
If I try to remove the picture box from the collection I get an error.

I am making a 2D game that has a player (me) that shoots bullets (pictureboxes) and kills other enemies. The problem is that when there are many bullets on the screen it gets very slow because it has to move every picturebox.

I am currently making a game like the worlds hardest game but with a difference. I have made 9 levels so far and am doing the boss level and i cant figure out how to make the boss shoot "bullets".there are two types of bullets the boss can shoot bullet1 - moves in a constant speed to the left after being shot bullet2 - moves in a constant speed to the left after being shot and follows the player on the y-axis The boss only follows the player on the y-axis(I have done this)The boss only shoots bullet1 until his health is below 50 then he increases the rate at which he shoots and randomly shoots bullets between bullet1 and bullet2The only way to win this game is to collect coins which randomly appears in the map, after you get the coin you decrease the bosses health by 5 (I have done this)If the player touches bullet or the boss then the level restarts (I have done this)

I am making this game where you have to protect objects from the enemy trying to capture them. I have a loop where a number is randomized from 1 to the current level the person is on. If that number is 50 then a new enemy is created and sent out to get an object. But my problem is if the level is getting higher and higher then the game will get easier and easier. I want it to get harder and harder.

up to now I've have been running my bullets on automatic fire, through 4 separate timers.My Nxt major task is to make my space bar shoot bullets. I have tried attempting to code the spacebar, for the first bullet. I was thinking that when the spacebar is pressed it turns on a timer, thus the bullet is fired. Then when the bullet hits the top of the screen or an alien the timer is turned off and bullet location is reset. Now the bullet1 no longer fires.I find the logic complicated but it should work.
my variables:
Code:
Public BulletMovement As System.Drawing.Point

I've recently started digging into my worst enemy SQL. So far so good, was just curious how I would go about refreshing a gridview control which is tied to a sqldatasource. So you see if I wrote a new field in my database, how do I refresh the gridview to get that recent change?

I have got one picture box to appear from a random point at the top of the form and move down the screen.
But how do I create an infinite amount of these enemies that will travel down the form?
The only way I know how is to just create a bunch of picture boxes and hide them all, and then each time a timer clicks one of them is visible, and starts traveling down the screen. There must be an easier way.

I am using registry to check if a user has successfully waited out the time limit, but this can easily be bypassed by killing the process in task manager.Is there a way to see if it has been killed?

I have a vb application(1) which is made to launch another software(2) with specified parameters, but i wanna keep my application opened as long as the 2nd one is opened too, and I also want to close the second one automatically if mine has been force closed by the user in windows taskmanager, on the desktop, or in any way.
So I need something which detects if windows is closing the program and kill the second application auto.
I would like to avoid the task manager block, because that isn't necessary for this i guess.

Text needs to be copied from 1 wordprocessing document to another wordprocessing document. The source document is not always accessible when inserting the text in the target part. The text is serialized and retrieved later on.
They way I currently do this is by copying the paragraphs elements and then appending them into the other document. This works fine unless bullets are involved. The bullets are not copied from the source to the target document.[code]...
I know that bullets are stored in the NumberingDefinitionsPart of the MainDocument part but my problem is how do I know which AbstractNum and NumberingInstance to insert in this NumberingDefinitionsPart?

I have my character moving across the screen, I have enemies that randomly came at the character, and I have it so when the enemy collides with the character you loose a life.
But how do I have the character shoot bullets.
I know how to do the keypress, and make the bullets move with a timer. But I don't know how I can create an infinite amount of bullets that can fire.

i created a windows blocker to prevent users access, and only give access to the computer for a certain time if they pay....In the block state taskmgr can not be accessed also no other method can close the blocker. but once the computer is unblocked for use it become vulnerable only to the taskmgr since i have to give access to the taskmgr when the program is not blocking access. Is there anyway to prevent my program from being KILLed in the taskmgr or is there a way to restart the blocker if the user KILLs the program?

While using SelectionBullets in a RichtextBox I am experiencing some issues with FontColor and the SelectionBullets Color. For example I am selecting the entire text in the RTB and set it to FontColor Yellow - the font color itself is fine; the problem: some Bullets turn Yellow, some stay black. Would there be a way to have those Bullets permanently colored in black?

So I made a Listbox, and also a custom class called "Enemies". I used a Bindingsource to Bind "Enemies" to the Listbox. "Enemies has three properties which are: "Name as String, Health as String, and Dead as Boolean".The thing I need is when I add a Enemy to the listbox, I want the BackColor of the item to either be Red or Green, depending on if the Item.Dead property is false or true.

I am working on a poker game and I have the game setup the way I want it in terms of graphics and I have the code programed to deal the cards out exactly how I want them. Granted, the code is very simplistic, but functional for a new programmer like myself. I'm sure there are other more efficient ways to code my game, but I like mine so far because I can at least understand the majority of it. With that being said, here are a few problems and questions that I have.
1. How come when all 12 cards are dealt out I have some cards repeating in the game? For example, I get queen of diamonds in more than one picture box when I only want the card to be dealt once and then removed until the next game.
2. I was hoping to have a button 3 to clear all the boxes, basically resetting the game to the next game. When I hit button 3 it only clears the contents of picturebox 10 and 12.Other notes: I have the deal down the way I want it. It deals the first 10 picture boxes and a second button deals the 11 and 12 picture boxes.
3. I know this is my next step so I want to post it with the code I currently have. I want to start taking my project one step further by evalutating each of the three rows of cards (3 rows of 3 cards each - I'm not worried about the dealers hand (picture box 10, 11, 12 yet). So I want to evaluate a row of pictureboxes against a "pay scale" and display the win in a text box or label next to the 3 card hand. For example, Q of diamonds, Q of Clubs, Q of spades would win 15, etc. ( have a weird feeling I may have to change the names of the cards (I have them named card1, card2, etc. right now) to something that identifies them in order to evaluate the hands.
Here is the code that I currently have. I'm using visual basic.
Public Class Form1
Dim Rndm As New Random
Dim myPB(11) As PictureBox
Dim HiddenCards As New List(Of String)

I have created a scrabble game that generates random letters. For the user to type in a word using the random letters they have to type it in a text box.
I want my program to prevent users from typing in letters that are not provided in the text box and to allow them to type in the random letters that are provided.

I'm trying to make a simple fruit machine game for windows mobile device.
I can create the game easily enough and flip through pictures in a picture box to display the correct symbol.. but what I'd like to do is do a proper spinning reel, but have no idea where to even start.
What I have is a list of images in an imagelist (or individual files) - what I'd like is them attached to each other and moving downwards, preferably as though it were going around a drum but just them moving would be a start.

On programming assignment without having any real experience in vb. I guess I don't understand subroutines that well. When the program runs it never goes to the computer's turn and does not update the users score either. This assignment is already in but would like to know what is going wrong. Using VB 2010, and this is windows application.

Check Score: The winner is the one with the highest score less than or equal to 21If both scores(player total and computer total) are over 21, or if both are equal but under 21, the game is declared a draw.
There is something wrong with this line:
If intPlayerCardTotal < intScore And intComputerTotal < intScore Then
MsgBox "Draw"

Upon changing the field size a game should restart. Upon trying to do so I see the previous grid (e.g. 10x10) displayed on top of the new one (e.g. 4x4). How would I prevent this and indeed start the game fresh?
