Game Programming :: Making A Picture Box Move Right Then Left?
Jan 20, 2011
I want a picbox to move across a screen then back to where it started (for a space invader game:
the following code is what I have for this task.
Code:
Private Sub AlienMovement_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AlienMovement.Tick
If Alien1.Location.X > 20 Then
[Code]....
I can't make it < because thats not logical, can't make it = becasue that doesn't work, can't make it > becasue then it will only bounce back once. Is there another variable I could use?

im trying to make a game in visual basic in which your character can move around, jump, and kill things. I can get the picture box with the character to move and everything is fine. but i did run into one problem. when the character moves over a tree (or something) you can see the gray backround of the character as i made in paint. how do i make the backround of the picturebox transparent?

I 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

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]...

how to make a collision between the player object and the wall which is a picturebox
i can move the player object (which is also a picture box) with the arrow keys and i've made it move inside the form border, but the porblem is how to make it stop when it touches the wall (picture box) if im moving left and the left border of the player touched the right border of the wall then it should stop and only the up, down and right keys will be working!!!

I'm doing a pacman game and im stuck on how to make the pellets. This is the code i have so far.I was thinking of maybe making a picturebox for every pellet and then make an if statement that if pacman goes on a pellet it disappears and he gains a point. But this would be a VEERRRYYYY large if statement and im sure there is a better way to do it.

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 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.

I have a picture box and I tell it to appear on a random location on another specified larger picture box.
here's my code:
Code:
Sub P2_AppleMove()
Dim P2ax As Integer = CInt(Int((P2Foodarea.Width * Rnd()))) ' sets the random area of the food
[Code]....
P2foodarea is a large picture box I created. I only want the apple to spawn on P2Foodarea, atm, it spawns on P1Foodarea which is very weird. P1foodarea is a whole other picture box. I even made new variables as you can see P2ax and P2ay, but it still doesn't spawn on P2Foodarea. I have even tried recreating a new picture box for P2foodarea

I have created this code to reset my picture boxes to default locations upon form load.
my sub:
Code:
Sub reset_Alien_locations()
Dim Xlocation As Integer = 26
For segmentIndex As Integer = 0 To AlienArray.Length - 114
[Code]...
I have this sub load up upon form_load event. Yet it doesn't do a thing! I want each picture box to appear on the same row, hence the y axis is set to 49. but I want my X-axis to be added by 30, so that there is a gap of 30 pixels between each picture box, hence the x point is: Xlocation = Xlocation + 30

Clicking on the picture will cause the picture to move in the following manner: * If the picture is in the top left corner, it will move to the center, then to the top right corner * If the picture is in the top right corner, it will move to the center, then to the lower right corner * If the picture is in the bottom right corner, it will move to the center, then to the bottom left corner * If the picture is in the bottom left corner, it will move to the center, then to the top left corner

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.
Code:
Public Class Form1
Dim Myturn As Integer

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?
