Get Closest Tile To Player On Screen?
Mar 17, 2012
I've managed to implement a formula that helps me to get the closest tile's distance that meets my requirements. The only thing is, I can't retrieve the actual tile for some reason... Tiles are named "Items" also. Here is my code:
[code]...
It puts green squiggly lines under ClosestItem and gives me the error: "Warning 2 Variable 'ClosestItem' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime."

I'm using Windows media player to display movies within my vb.net application - which works fine. But I have noticed if I double-click the movie it expands to full screen, which I don't want. I want it to stay in the window where I put it. I cannot find a setting that affects this,

I try to create a dual video player with VB 2010.
With that I have 2 forms, 1 main form (with all the controls and it should contain a preview screen of what is being displayed on the second form.
And a second form (with a windows media player component).
Now the main form should have (as told) a preview screen of what is shown on the second screen, I want to know if it is possible to have is as the windows 7 taskbar thumbnail (when preview the mediaplayer).

I'm currently trying to write a really simple game on which the player has to pursuit some figures on the screen. Since i'm just writing the prototype version i'm using a Panel wich i redraw 1000 times per second. Now, i want that every level is similar but not the same as past level, so i created a Level Class that contains the game objetcs of Player Class and the Figure Class, wich are the ones that have all the movement subrutines. So, with a Timer, 1000 times per second, i get the input from a joystick, pass it to the player objetc and update the position of the figure object. All this stuff is reported to an internal Panel that every level object has, wich i refresh and then pass it ByVal to the panel that the player actually sees. The problem i have is that after the first level ends, when the second level starts running, i can see the last frame of the fisrt level flashing behind the figures and it makes the game run a bit slower after every level. I tried keeping a copy of the inicial state of exterior panel and use it to clean the one i'm using on the levels but it didn't work...

Here's my situation: I'm tryring to build a very simpe minigame in which the player has to pursuit and catch certain figures on the screen. This figures are currently showed as images on PictureBox wich i pass ByRef to some classes where the movement subrutines are. I have all the graphics in PNG, with transparent background, format and they look fine on the background, but when 2 or more of this figures are over the same place on the screen every PictureBox covers the underlying figure, so all i can see is one figure over the background.I was wondering if theres a way to solve this... Maybe using more powerfull libraries or something like that.

One of the things my VB.NET program does is play video files using the Windows Media Player component that comes with VB. My program also switches the WMP component to full screen but once in a while the form will be on top of the full screen video. I am hoping that you fine and knowledgeable folks cat this from happening. The problem occurs when the next video file is played automatically. I'll do my best to post a bit of code but since I don't have much of an idea what might be causing this I'll just have to guess. The project has gotten quite large over the years I've been writing it and if any more code ito post any or all of it, though I'm sure no one would like to go through all 1771 lines of it.

I have looked all over the internet to find specifically what the title says and i cant find anything that will work and is what i want, it's mostly all vb6. so even more specifically i am creating a program that captures screenshots of the "axwindowsmediaplayer" control at what ever frame or part of the video it's on. i also noticed that there is a command in the little menu when you type in "axwindowsmediaplayer.capture" i don't know how to use it?

Say I have an array of doubles sorted from smallest to largest. What is the FASTEST way to find the closest value in the array that is LARGER/SMALLER than the search value if an identical value is not found.
Code:
dim myArray() as double = {1.245, 2.45, 3, 4.556, 5.4434}
'LARGER AND SMALLER SEARCH for 3 should obviously return 3 because its in the array.
'LARGER SEARCH for 2.46 should return 3 because it is the closest LARGER value
'SMALLER SEARCH for 2.46 should return 2.45 because it is the closest SMALLER value
I certainly can do this on my own, but I am looking for the fastest way.

I have a scenario at work where we have several different tables of data in a format similar to the following:
Table Name: HingeArms
Hght Part #1 Part #2
33 S-HG-088-00 S-HG-089-00
41 S-HG-084-00 S-HG-085-00
[code]....
Where the first column (and possibly more) contains numeric data sorted ascending and represents a range to determine the proper record of data to get (e.g. height <= 33 then Part 1 = S-HG-088-00, height <= 41 then Part 1 = S-HG-084-00, etc.)
I need to lookup and select the nearest match given a specified value. For example, given a height = 34.25, I need to get second record in the set above:
41 S-HG-084-00 S-HG-085-00
These tables are currently stored in a VB.NET Hashtable "cache" of data loaded from a CSV file, where the key for the Hashtable is a composite of the table name and one or more columns from the table that represent the "key" for the record. For example, for the above table, the Hashtable Add for the first record would be:
ht.Add("HingeArms,33","S-HG-088-00,S-HG-089-00")
This seems less than optimal and I have some flexibility to change the structure if necessary (the cache contains data from other tables where direct lookup is possible... these "range" tables just got dumped in because it was "easy"). I was looking for a "Next" method on a Hashtable/Dictionary to give me the closest matching record in the range, but that's obviously not available on the stock classes in VB.NET. what I'm looking for with a Hashtable or in a different structure? It needs to be performant as the lookup will get called often in different sections of code.

I am creating an application and I have the numbers 1 - 20. Each number represents a location. They are continuous. I need a way to find the closest number to a given location. For example if the event is in location 8 and there are 2 people who can attend who are in locations 6 and 10. Then zone 6 would be chosen as its closest and also the lowest. If I needed the next highest closest number then I could pull all of the numbers into an array and sort them and then pull out the one which is the next highest zone. However as I need to find the closest number which could be lower, im not sure how to achieve this.

I need a way to compare multiple strings to a test string and return the string that closely resembles it:
TEST STRING: THE BROWN FOX JUMPED OVER THE RED COW
CHOICE A : THE RED COW JUMPED OVER THE GREEN CHICKEN
CHOICE B : THE RED COW JUMPED OVER THE RED COW
CHOICE C : THE RED FOX JUMPED OVER THE BROWN COW
(If I did this correctly) The closest string to the "TEST STRING" should be "CHOICE C". What is the easiest way to do this?
I plan on implementing this into multiple languages including VB.net, Lua, and JavaScript. At this point, pseudo code is acceptable.

Imagine a grid of 16x16. All points are integers, there will be no partial points.I have a list of points that fall somewhere on that grid. Since each point is has an integer x,y coordinate, there can be a maximum of 256 points, but normally there will be considerably less than that.What I am trying to do is take a new point N and find the closest point to it in my list of points. The brute force approach is to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the absolute distance from each point on the list to N, and the minimum of all those distances would give me the closest point. However, since there could easily be 100 points, or so, and there is a real advantage to speed in this case, I am looking for a faster way to do this.
The first thing I thought of would be to divide the grid into four quadrants of 8x8. I could then quickly determine which quadrant N was in, and I was able to pre-compute which quadrant each of the points on the list was in. Therefore, I could easily narrow the search down to the points in the same quadrant as N, but that is invalid. If N lies near the boundary of a quadrant, the closest point might not actually be in the same quadrant as N.So what I am looking for is a way to search a list of X,Y points to quickly find the point closest to some other point N. The fact that the search area is 16x16 might help. A certain amount of pre-computation can be done on the points in the list if it helps, but N can fall anywhere in the grid.

BTW this issue occurs in any MS office program when the VB.Net (or even VBA) is processing information.Example: In Excel, a worksheet is displayed on the screen. I start either, a VB.Net or VBA procedure and within 30 seconds the Excel worksheet (previously displayed) blanks out. In both VB.Net and VBA,ScreenUpdating = False. My expectation is that the previously displayed screen would stay static as if I left my desk to get a cup of coffee; came back and the same ole Excel worksheet was still there?Of course, setting VBA Screen Updating = False accomplishes two goals: 1) speeds up processing and 2) saves the user from seeing unnecessary "garbage-processing" steps.Why does VBA or VB.Net ScreenUpdating = False not freeze the screen at the time of its invoking?

(non-coding request)Okay, I have my client, my server, and my map editor...a 2d online game, and yes it's written in VB.NET.I have had a lot of trouble finding anything to do with adding an animation layer something that will flash with a timer to appear as if something like fire is animated. I have a lot done so far and I kinda want to stick with VB.NET working with this.
I'm not really looking for code here, but maybe an idea of "how" an animation layer plays into a map editor and client...specifically what is needed.Running this through my head I believe I am going to need a timer on both the map editor and client, showing and hiding the animation layer...but I don't think it is that easy, and am hoping someone here has an idea of the logic of how this works. I'm almost certain that the timer doesn't go on the server to control this, but am probably wrong.

Essentially I have a half text/half graphical tile game that has a level designer. I have several sets of tiles, all of which are bunched together in one file. I'd like to read a certain 32x32 square of said bitmap, and display only that portion on specified area of the screen. I know GDI+ enough to get the display going, so I just need help with reading the specified portion of the image from the bitmap.
