I Use the following code to detect if a sprite should be going up or down and the response
If (pos.Y + 100) >= Sprite.BottomY Then
Going_up = True
pos.Y = Sprite.BottomY - 130
End If
[Code]...
but it's pretty terrible. It only works when the sprite starts at the top, and when I want to change the BottomY and TopY, it just starts glitching. What is a better to detect if the sprite should be going up or down?

I've been trying to figure out how to create transparency in a sprite, i.e. with the use of a mask. Problem is, every tutorial I could find was either completely irrelevant or for freaking Visual Basic 1858.

I am creating a 2D RPG game similar to the pokemon interface. After solving my problem with walls, I came across another problem. If I make the panel show the whole map, it would be too small. Thus, I tried to increased the size to 1200,1200, but it wouldn't let me because my screen is smaller than that. Then I thought about it and realized that most games limit the sight of the map to the characters surroundings.

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.

View 15 RepliesI made a game in VB 08 and I have sprites and a background but I need to know how to make the background of the sprites transparent.I'd like to note that I'm using a picture box for my sprite, and the game is animated (I read that those things are relevant).I've read a lot on bitblting but I don't understand it, and when I found a helpful article it mentioned to use the .hdc. This article though was made before the introduction of GDI+ which now makes it harder to obtain said .hdc.
View 11 Repliesis ther any way to make my screen follow my sprite? I want the visable area of my game to change when my sprite moves past this X value 284 but i can not figure it out ill post my VB Express code below

I am using vb.net by the way. From what I understand, Xna is not usable in visual Basic. Therefore, in order to create my characters, I defined a sprite class. Now my question is.... (I am drawing everything using a timer on the form btw by the process of invalidation.)... how do I use time to cycle through the images in an image array while the instance has no focus, and whilst the class inherits the "Control" class? Basically, how do i get these instances to act without user input? I want a character to eventually respond to user input, but I also need npcs that do not need any input in order to move themselves. Also, I need this in such a way that each instance's processes do NOT interfere with the processes of others. So that whatever timing I use does not also stall the whole window/form.
View 2 RepliesI am currently making a small flood runner like game, I completed most of it, but I can't seem to get the jump action right. I got it to jump straight up and back down again, but it doesn't work when I use a left/right arrow key with it to perform a left/right jump. The sprite goes straight up if I only press space.What I want- The sprites goes up and right or left when I press space while holding right or left.

View 4 RepliesHow can I detect when the WMP has reached the end of the current song? I'm making a media player, and have my songs in a list box. Here is my code for playing a song.
CurrentSong = SongPaths.SelectedItem
WMP.URL = CurrentSong
Label2.Text = "Now Playing: " & Songs.SelectedItem
Songs and SongPaths are both listboxes (SongPaths is hidden) As you might have guess, Songs has the song names in it, and SongPaths has their directory path, the two listboxes are in-sync (Choosing "SongA" in Songs, will select the directory of it in SongPaths)What I need to do, is detect when a song is over, so I can call this code:
i = i + 1
Songs.SelectedIndex = i
'Will select the corresponding item in SongPaths as well.
