Game Programming :: Image Rotate To Follow Mouse Position?

Sep 13, 2011

In a game i am making, as the mouse cursor i have crosshairs (like those in FPS games) and i would like an image box to change images as the mouse moves so that it appears that the character in the picturebox is following the mouse cursor.

i thought i would do something along the lines of first finding out which side of the picture box its on (left or right) then finding out exactly where with some maths equations and then assigning 1 of 60 pictures so that it appears that the picture is rotating.

Game Programming :: Dice Rolling Program - When Using Rnd Fucntion How To Make It 1-6 Only

Dec 17, 2008

So my question is, I'm wiriting a VERY basic dice rolling program for my computer programming class in high school. I'm using a randomize function to generate numbers but I only want it to do numbers 1 - 6....how do I do this?

Dim x As Integer
Randomize()
x = CInt(10 * Rnd())

Dim Y As Integer
Randomize()
Y = CInt(10 * Rnd())

That is my code for my x and y (each die) to generate code, but how do I make it do 1 - 6 ONLY? Develope a game that in which a player rolls two dice. Each die has 6 faces. Each face contains 1, 2,3,4,5,6 after the dice have come to rest the sum of the spots is calculated, if the sum is 7 or 12 on the first throw, the player wins. If the sum is 2,3, or 11 on the first throw, the player loses, and the house wins. If the sum is 4,5,6,8,9,10 on the first throw the sum becomes the player's point. To win, a player must roll the dice until the plater rolls the point value. The player loses by rolling a 7 before rolling the point. I also have another question, How would I set this up to keep up with points and stuff? and the part that says "The player loses by rolling a 7 before rolling the point." I have no clue what to do on that. I'm not asking for code hand outs. I'm just asking what functions and such I'd use to write the code.

Game Programming :: Make The Program Know When A Black Stone Is Surrounded?

Oct 23, 2009

I'm not positive if this should be here or in graphics so I'm sorry if I'm posting it in the wrong section.I'm trying to make a program for the game Go. Now before getting upset that I want to make the game go I just want to say that I have looked for months for this specific thing and I still have yet to find it. I want to make something to simulate go so that two people can play on the same computer. The problem I ran into was capturing stones. Stones are captured when surrounded and then they are taken from the board. The problem is that I don't know how to make the program know when a black stone is surrounded.

I have thought of a grid detecting but the possibilites on a 19x19 area are too high for anybody to sit down and program. I have also thought of using picture boxes and the edges to detect other pictures, but there are ways for stones to group together and the opponent must surround all stones to capture them.

Want To Make Text Based RPG Game Will 'upgrade' As Programming Knowledge Grows

Dec 12, 2011

Well this is a re-post now as nobody replied in the gaming section, and i believe this question could go as a normal VB question, therefore I'm asking in this category instead.I have decided to pick up on programming and want to make a text based RPG Game i will "upgrade" as my programming knowledge grows.I got some ideas that i think i should use, but i want you guys' opinions on it.I assume I'll use different classes for each monster, which will have properties.Should those monsters then be inside a list of all possible monsters, or would i have a monster class which i would use and generate the enemies when needed? And would i use the same approach on items and character stats?

Center Screen Sprite Walking?

Apr 27, 2012

I have been searching the internet for a few days now, looking for ways to solve my problem, but I can't find anything. What I am trying to do is make my sprite walk. The way I did this was I made multiple GIF's with my characters different movements, but when I try to switch which ones are showing by releasing an arrow key, it does not do anything. Does anyone have a solution for this? My code so far is below, but it only lets me switch to the running GIF and not to the standing one.

Game Programming :: Spinning Reel - Fruit Machine Game For Windows Mobile Device

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.

Game Programming :: High Score List For A Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Game?

Apr 19, 2011

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.
