Jun 10, 2012I often think of classes and modules as "global" variables or variables you can use any where in your solution/project. can you make global timers? I basicly want to make a farming like game but the plants will grow based on a timer. So if the player closes that form the timer needs to still tick. So can I make global timers so the timer would not have to start over if the form is closed and reopened?

.NET Snake Game Freeze When Hold A Key Down?
Dec 24, 2011I'm trying to make the classic Snake game in VB.NET, but if I hold a key (any key) during the game, after a few seconds the game freezes until I release the key. I've tried lots to fix this, but nothing works, maybe because I don't understand the problem.I'm assuming that when I hold down a key, the Form1_KeyDown function gets called, and when, after a few seconds, the key goes into "I'm being held down" mode, that function is constantly called, so the timers don't get a chance to update. But like I said, I'm probably wrong.
I've been struggling with this for a while. I think this is all the necessary code, please let me know if it isn't.

Process Of Making A Snake Game Using .NET?
Jul 23, 2010I am currently in the process of making a snake game using VB.NET... I was just wanting to gather ideas on how to do the body of the snake..Currently I have a class called SnakeBody which contains the following code:
[Code]...
I guess what I am asking is if Dim body As PictureBox a logical thing to put in my class. As in, I am not sure if that is the correct thing to do? To create the actual body of the snake I will have an array of these SnakeBody objects. If `'Dim body As PictureBox is valid How do I reproduce the same picturebox everytime my snake eats something?

VS 2008 Creating A Snake Game - PictureBox2 Touches PictureBox15?
May 21, 2010we were asked to create a game.Me and my friend decided to go ahead and make the game 'Snake' (I think you all know this one)Since we never had any teaching on how to do it we looked already made games and used the same code (we found this one on a Youtube tutorial so I think it was alright to copy it).We picked it because it seemed pretty easy and we can tell what each thing does in the code.I also like fooling around so I changed all he values and stuff so I understood better what was going on.The game goes great but sometimes when the snakehead touches the food it doesn't 'eat' it and I don't know why :This is the part of the code that takes care of eating the food.(PictureBox2 is the snakehead, PictureBox15 is the food)
[code]...
I just don't know why does happens. The PictureBox2 touches PictureBox15 but nothing of what I typed above happens.

View 5 RepliesGeneral Categories, Ie "food". Under The Category "food"?
Jul 2, 2009My sister owns a small business, and (as a cashier) she is currently using hand written invoices for receipts and records. She knows I have some basic programming knowledge, and would like me to make her a program that would make it easier on her. Ultimately, it's going to log sales, and anything else to make taxes easier on her, which she is also doing manually at this time.
That will probably be a few weeks from now, for now what I want is to be able to have a Category, Subcategory, and Product system using ListView boxes. Ie. In the first ListView will be general categories, ie "food". Under the category "food", there will be the subcategories "pizza", "fish", and "pasta". Under the subcategory fish, there will be the products "salmon", "trout", and "cod". The user can highlight cod, click "add item" twice. The first time adding it to the receipt ListView box with a quantity of 1, the second time changing the quantity to 2.
Now the idea here is to make the contents of the ListView boxes depend on the selection in the preceding ListView box. If the user chose the Pizza subcategory, he would have the products "cheese", "pepperoni", and "mushrooms" in the product list box. If he chose "beverages" on the first ListBox (general category), he would get different choices entirely.
Of course these are not the items being sold, but they serve as good examples. I have a decent start on the program but have run into a few roadblocks. In each ListBox, there will be an "Add *" selection (activated by double click), which * will be the ListView it in. For example, they could go to the food category, double click the "Add Subcategory to food category" list item, bringing up a dialog asking for the subcategory name. They could then, in that subcategory, double click an "Add product to * subcategory" list item, bringing up a dialog asking for the item name, price, and flags such as taxability (some things such as services are non taxable). In addition, I want the user to be able to double click an existing item, removing it from the list.
I have a good start on the program, the interface is mostly done. My next step is to create some form of database to store the categories, subcategories, and products she adds. I could probably get it to work in runtime, but it would be a shame to have to redo it every time she restarts the program But this is where the roadblock is. I don't know what to do at this point, I've spent hours on Google before coming to this site. I will include the source so you can see where I'm at, at the moment.

Nov 1, 2010I'm trying to make a 2D game in VB. As a first step I'm going to make a playing field (a form) on which I will put a character. The character should be able to move up, down, left, and right when you press the arrow keys. How do I start off with this and what should I start off with learning?
I already know the basics in how to make normal apps with buttons, text boxes, labels and so on but I don't quite get how I should start off with something like this.Also I wonder about XNA and VB.Net. Can you use them together or is XNA only for C#? I found some stuff while googling suggesting that XNA for VB.Net had been released.
Label Position Should Fixed Right And Grow To Left
Feb 18, 2011How can I set my labels to align on the right even when they have diffrent lenghts. I have a set of labels which are occuring next to each other and also underneath each other. The problem now is that they always align from the left within the label row,but I need them to align on the right as they are showing sums from other rows. Just to verify I am not talking about the text align I am looking for a solution to align my labels.
