View 4 RepliesGame Programming :: Multi-dimensional Array Ordering
Apr 20, 2009I have a multi-dimensional array storeHand(20,6) which stores 6 ints. The int at point 0 in each array represents a rank. So the array ends up looking like this:
(7, 0, 0, 3, 5, 7)
(6, 2, 3, 0, 6, 5)
(5, 0, 0, 0, 13, 4)
(8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3)
(2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1)
I want to re-order the array so that the higher the integer value at position 0 is, the higher it's position will be in the sortedHand(20,6) array. So as above, I'd want sortedHand(20, 6) to look like this at the end:

Game Programming :: Resetting The Locations Of An Array Of Picture Boxes?
May 26, 2011I 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

Game Programming :: Have An String Array Called ArrMap (0 To 19) That Holds The 20 Rows Of Each Map For Display?
Sep 30, 2009Im working on a roguelike console RPG. For those of you that dont know, just google search it.What I need help with is that I have an string array called ArrMap(0 to 19) that holds the 20 rows of each map for display. I also have an array of the same size called VisibleMap that needs to hold which portions of the map are visible and which arent so that when the player switches screens [IE goes from map, to inventory] they can go back to the map and it will look the same. I was thinking of using an array, but if you can think of another way to do it, that's fine.Here are the subs that deal with the map reading and display, so you know how I have things set up at the moment.
Code:
Public Sub ReadMap(ByVal location As String)
Dim ioFile As New StreamReader(location)
Dim ioLine As String
Dim intX As Integer

Game Programming :: Adding Pictureboxes To Form
Jul 23, 2008I 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 RepliesGame Programming :: Disposing A Picturebox From A Form?
Jun 24, 2011I'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).

Game Programming :: Detect A Collision With The Edge Of A Form
Oct 2, 2009I am currently investigating vb gaming and have set up a test project to move an object; it moves fine.

So my question is how do i work out if my object has touched the edge of the form?

Aug 12, 2011I'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

Game Programming :: How To Destroy An Instance Of A Form Class
Feb 17, 2009I 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]

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.
