Game Programming :: Making Two Dialogs Pop Up On After The Other?
Jun 18, 2011I can currently make a dialog1 pop up, then the user clicks "Yes" for dialog1, then dialog2 pops up, and if the user clicks "no" instead of "yes", dialog2 reappears again. I've got a headache now, but I will re-look over my code to see if there are logic errors.
I originally had dialog2 and form1 (the form1 was acting as dialog1). But The thing was that I do not how to give properties of a dialog to a form (i.e. not make the user be able to click other windows while this form is open) IF I could have code that says Me.bringtofront (which I have tried) didn't work though. If I apply this command to a form I get an error:
code: Form1.showdialog()
error: Please make form1 not visible. something a long those lines. But what I don't understand is form1 was never open.
What do the standard lines of code do?:
Me.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK
Me.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel

But this would be a VEERRRYYYY large if statement and im sure there is a better way to do it.

Feb 16, 2011I'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.

Game Programming :: High Score List For A Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Game?
Apr 19, 2011I 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.

View 5 RepliesGame Programming :: Item Combination In A Game?
Sep 8, 2008okay so here's the go. i have to design the inventory system for a game and one of the things it has to be able to do is combine items together. the way i went about this was to give each item a binary ID (1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128) so that no item has the same ID. the cool thing about this is that you can combine items together and get a new unique ID like this:
if you have an item Stick with ID 8 and an item string with ID 16. you can say that these two combine together to create a bow with ID 24 (8+16).you can reverse the process and find out that the bow is made up of a stick and a string since there is only ONE way you can get the ID of 24 using binary.hope that makes sense, some of you have probably seen it before anyway the problem i found out with using this is that you can only have about 31items before the binary ID's get too big when using the 'long' type in vb.net, and that's not enough.
one suggestion was to use Hexadecimal. another i liked was something about creating a class that would manage several long data types linked together to create as many ID's as i needed. but i didnt fully understand this one enough to implement it

View 4 RepliesGame Programming :: Battleships Game
Mar 18, 2010I have created two fields (Panels) on my form and populated them with grid lines. Grid lines are calculated using the following variables: x1, y1, x2, y2.
Dimensions of each field are fixes and = 240x240, hence grid lines start at 20 and increment in the form of 20 * i (i from 1 to 11).
Now at this stage I have a problem, I want to create an Integer array with 10 rows and 10 columns, and I want each position in that array to correspond to a certain tile of my grid. (I will use that for the AI which will analyse the grid to see if a ship has been hit to work out next move, also see which cells are not available for shooting. For example, a 0 in the value of an array position will represent a tile on the grid that is available for the next shot, 1 will represent a ship and a 9 will represent the area around a sunken ship that definitely has no other ships in it)
As far as I understand it should be done using a function that would translate the co-ordinates of each cell of the grid in to a corresponding position in the array. But I'm afraid my knowledge are quite limited in this area, how can I put that in to practice? and also how can I highlight a specific tile when hovering mouse over it?
