I am currently investigating vb gaming and have set up a test project to move an object; it moves fine. The problem is that when it reaches the edge of the form it continues to move and eventually leaves the form entirely. So my question is how do i work out if my object has touched the edge of the form?

I have a question about collision, yes my 2d tile rpg's map collision works just fine, but im having trouble with the collision with my npc's. At the start of the game it loads all the map data from a text file. well it also loads the location and other stuff about the npc's onto the map from a text file. how do i detect the collision of the npc's that were loaded from the text file, i could do collision with hardcoded npc's but i want to avoid hardcoding the game content into the game engine. RESTATING MY QUESTION: How do i detect the collision of NPC's that i load onto my 2d tile map from text file?
View 6 RepliesI'm trying ot make a top down rpg, or pokemon like game, but I can't find any proper tutorials for collision detection. I have found one, but when I did it it doesn't seem to work properly, and I get errors everytime I go to the edge of the form. What I can do to make good collision detection for walls?

Public Class Form1
Public Level1 As New clsLevel()

I have loaded two mesh's from .x files onto the screen, a map and a sprite. The sprite moves around, but because they aren't colliding the sprite goes straight through the mountains, and straight over the undulations. I have looked for a way to find the co-ordinates of a particular spot on the mesh, as I figured by finding the X and Z co-ordinates of the sprite, I could just set his Y co-ordinate to be the same as the map, and he would 'stick' to the ground... however I don't know if this is possible, and I haven't found it yet.

View 1 RepliesLately I have been making a platformer game, just to experiment and see how it would work, and after making two very basic levels I realized that it would take a lot of code to include several or more platforms.

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

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)
(Visual Studio 2008 - Visual Basic 2008 - 3.5 .Net Framework) I have few objects on my form and i would to like scan objects' names by my cursor. I wish to get name of object, which is under my cursor. (only one object is under cursor, and form)..

View 1 RepliesSo I pretty much built the game, that was the easy part. I am having trouble entering a name on my first form(startup) and keeping track of the score on second form(game) and displaying it both combined on the first page with the current users score. Also the way it set up now if you are running the game for the first time it says can't find LowScores.Text. Start Up

I know how to make a single picturebox, but I need to make more different pictureboxes. Example: I want to make a picturebox every time snake and food crash (I'm making snake with pictureboxes, yes). But for that, I need a code that will make a new picturebox with different name every time they crash. For example When they first crash, the code should make a picturebox called snakepart(1) next time they crash it should make snakepart(2). Something like that.
View 1 RepliesI've tried so many ways to get rid of picture boxes for my space invaders game, yet it's not working. The bullet hits the alien, the alien goes invisible (which it should) but it doesn't go to a new location or get disposed. And the bullet then intersects with it again but because it's invisible the user just see the bullet reset out of no where and the score gets added which it shouldn't.
Code:
If Bullet1.Bounds.IntersectsWith(AlienArray(0).Bounds) Or Bullet2.Bounds.IntersectsWith(AlienArray(0).Bounds) Or Bullet3.Bounds.IntersectsWith(AlienArray(0).Bounds) Or Bullet4.Bounds.IntersectsWith(AlienArray(0).Bounds) And AlienHitArray(0) = False Then
[code]....
So, basically my question is how do I remove aliens (pictureboxes) off the board or disabled the picture box in space invaders when they are hit. (my bullet collision works fine).
Trying to dynamically add Alien objects (Picture boxes) to my game form. The picture boxes are invisible when I run the game. All of the other controls for the picture box seen to work just fine. Movement, Alien Shots ,etc, etc. [code]

Redrawing rectangles on a Form? I have a problem repainting my form, I'm creating a "Bouncing block" Type of game , the Ball as a PicturBox, the Bar as A Picture Box And the Breakable "Targets" as An Array of Rectangles created in my forms Paint event using "e.Graphics.FillRectangles(Brush, rectsF)".

I'm writing a game in VB 2005 Express and at the moment it involves using the drawimage method to first draw a background and then various sprites onto my form every time a timer ticks. It's all double buffered so there's no flicker or anything but it just goes very slowly, how to speed it up. I've come across the term blitting (bitblt), which seems like it would be useful, but haven't been able to work out exactly what it is, whether it can be used in this version of vb, how to use it etc.
Here's my code (or at least an approximation of the relevant bits seeing as the whole thing is rather long):
Public Class Form1
Dim BackgroundImg as Image 'plus all of my sprite images declared
Dim Mybuffer As BufferedGraphics
Dim MyContext As BufferedGraphicsContext
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I am writing a chat application quite similar to MSN and others alike, where you have a main window that can spawn several chat windows.So I have a chat class form (called frmChat) that I just instantiate whenever I need it, with the following code from the main form:[code]In this form I have a button labeled as 'End chat'. I would like not just to close the form, but actually to destroy its instance in order to dispose memory. I tried what would seemed to be to me the more direct and obvious way to do that (see below), but unfortunatelly VB syntax checker doesn't allow me to do that:[code]
View 3 RepliesHow do I put all my labels in my form in an array???
I have labels on my board game squares and I need them to be in an array.
I have created a game similar to plants vs. zombies or simply called a tower defense game. I have already completed it. but I have 1 big problem. and this is the game is very very lag / high delay. structures , explosions , enemies , projectiles are created using picturebox and declared it using an array and now to my question. Is there any way to minimize or to remove the lag or delay of the form?
View 3 RepliesI'm building a maze application in visual basic. The game relies on two variables, X and Y which are integers. There's a timer which basically invalidates the whole form for a redraw. Now my question is, that there are various squares and rectangles dotted around the form. How would I create a handler, or something as such to detect if the square that the form draws is touching these objects?[code]...

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.
I am trying to make a game which basiclly lets you shoot ducks. i have a picture as a background (set as form image) i then have picturebox's with ducks flying flying around you shoot them the disapear etc.

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.

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?

I currently have a who wants to be a millionaire game that I have made in visual basic 2010. Each question is in its own form. Form1 opens at the start, and question 1 is opened by a button click on Form1. The user has to click on the picture box at the side to show the text for the question each time. If they answer incorrectly, it displays a message box, opens an input box asking for their name, and goes to the form with the high score list, Form17.
Upon opening Form17, I want the scores to load and be displayed in the list box. The high scores are saved in a text file at C: est.txt . Upon clicking menu or end, the high scores are saved to the text file.
