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

I have made a For next loop with an array. I want all my picture boxes to follow each other within the loop. I have currently been using old code, but not in a loop or array format. The old code works. The array code only makes the 2nd picture box follow the FIRST one. It doesn't loop the rest. I have checked the code and cannot determine any mistakes, else I'm missing out on something I haven't been taught.[code]...

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 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 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?

I have VS 2008 and use VB, not C#/C++ or whatever else. I'm trying to make a battleship game, and I've decided to use the only method I can think of to control the grid. A 2D boolean array for position marking. I have the array set up, and the grid set up in the design form, but I can't figure out with all my research how to link them together. I'm writing this program to shake off the rust before school starts again, and for fun. I took VB in school last year, a half year class, so I have a foundation, now I'm self-educating myself above and beyond the class. I've searched for a way to use a picture box array to use the coordinates of the ship to .Visible=True the picture boxes. I've been working on this for 2 days straight with no results. I just need a little nudge in the right direction. The exception I've been getting with my latest concoction of code is NullReferenceException was Unhandled. I think its referring to the fact that I have no idea how to link the picture boxes into the array. Here's my code, and I'll comment where the exception is thrown:
Private Sub cmdStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdStart.Click
'label for GoTo statements is Tryline:

I 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:

I need an indexed set of picture boxes. The number, n, of these objects is determined at run-time.Migrating from VB6!! I had used the load command n times to create a control array from a "seed" picture box. In code the individual pictureboxes are accessed as formula(k), where formula was the name of the control array and k is an integer. Examples can be seen at url... the chemical formulae, Ni2+ etc., are draggable picture boxes (curve captions if you like), so that they can be placed wherever the user wants.How can I implement something similar in VB.NET?

I have some operations of Picture Boxes etc being performed. After the user finishes with the formatting, I want to give the user an option to print the work.But its the work is not done on the Rich Text Box but on picture boxes. I am not even sure, how many of the picture boxes would be there after the user finishes the job, since I have provided option for dynamically creating picture boxes as well.

Im 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

when your resetting a form is it possible to deselect or not keep high lighted the item that was previously selected from the last entry. I know how to clear the text boxes but the items in the list boxes stay highlighted. Is it possible to get back to the initial setting of having nothing selected as when you first start debugging?

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
Dim Computerturn 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?
