Feb 12, 2011
I Made a Tile Map And draw my character to it. All is well except gdi is slow. The map is 100,100. Can I draw my character over the map without redrawing the whole map each time? That Should make thing much smoother. Private Sub Face_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Paint

I am working on a text-based game and as your character moves, you get informations such as the room name and below, a description (Lorem ipsum in the example) which is an array of string. I would like to know how to append characters to it. I am actually trying to display a minimap made of ASCII character. See the second bloc code for an example.
From:
code:
Into:
Room Name Here
code;
The game itself is made in VB.NET but a solution in pseudo-code is also welcomed. Also, each line's length is aproximatively the maximum length it must be.
The desired output must be an array of strings because this data is later send to a client connected using sockets.

(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.

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:

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 am slowly getting my little RPG going - My issue now is working out how to allow the player to walk over sometiles and not other. The tiles for now are painted to the form by the use of a Select Case i.e:
Case "1"
Draw Grass
Case "2"
Draw Wall
I would like to know how to set it up - the tile can be passable or not i.e:

I need to get the DataGridView to perform the way it should perform. I'm new to the .NET environment, but I learn fairly quickly. However, I find it difficult to decipher themassive black box of the DataGridView control enough to make it do anything other than what it already does--Draw very slowly.

I have a picturebox and I have a image with a blue and red square. When I click a button it puts that image into the picturebox as background image. The background image property is set to tile. But when I click on my form to draw the image to it, it just draws the original not the one that has the tile effect from the picturebox. Is there a way i can do this to keep the tile effect?

I have a program which contains a mdi form and child forms. Due to some reason the mdi form layout functionality does not work if a form is hidden and shown. This is a bug in the UI control suit which I am using.
I would like to implement Cascade,Tile horizontal & vertical myself. I wrote the logic for cascade but can I get code or function for the other two.
Would be glad if anyone can give me code/logic/function so that I can do Tile horizontal & Tile vertical manually.

I'm trying ot make a top down rpg, or pokemon like game, but I can't find any proper tutorials for collision detection. I have found one, but when I did it it doesn't seem to work properly, and I get errors everytime I go to the edge of the form. What I can do to make good collision detection for walls?
HTML Code:
Public Class Form1

Public Dude As New clsSprite(Level1)

While trying to find an answer to my question, I came across a project called OTSe, which allows people to make they're own online 2d online games. The system is based on an open X, Y, Z square tile map. For the sake of easy understanding, lets say they're are 3 types of tiles. Tiles you CANNOT walk on, tiles you CAN walk on, and tiles that SLOW YOU'RE CHARACTER DOWN.The project team has created a API class for users to work with in order to develop tools. What I'm trying to do, using they're classes, is GET the all the tiles on the current floor I am walking on, and then display them in a tile grid on my form, changing they're color depending on what type of tile they are. If the tile is NOT WALKABLE, make the tile gray, if the tile IS WALKABLE, make the tile brown, and if the tile SLOWS YOU DOWN, make the tile red. I also need it to store the information of each tile, since tiles are objects, and have properties.

So now I will try to make something more complex, still playing around with this graphics thing.I want a picturebox to display a tileset (a bunch of 32x32 tiles normally used for creating game levels etc), the picturebox is inside a container (which has autoscroll ON). The picturebox is larger than the container, so the container will make scrollbars automatically.Now, I need to be able to choose a tile or multiple tiles (if I click & drag the mouse)Basically I want to draw a 32x32 "red" box over each selected tile (so the user knows what tiles are selected).So first of all, I need to know when the mouse clicks the picture. Good. It works.Now, I need to know which 32x32 tile was clicked. Well, I think I can calculate that just fine.BUT, what if the user drags the mouse while clicking on a tile? I want to support multiple tiles selected, but I am clueless about tracking what tiles were chosen.If we solve that problem, I would have another curiosity: You know the "red boxes" that tell you which tiles are selected? What would happen if I dragged the scroll bar? I need the redboxes to move along with the picture, and hide if they go to an invisible area.

I am trying to owner drawing a list view in Tile View Mode. I am creating Items and add them in the ListView_DrawItem Event, but ListView_DrawSubItem is not firing.
I have been searching internet regarding this issue but I could not found anything relevant, the only thing I found was to call the DrawSubItem method.

I'm using this code to set a picture as the desktop background:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
SetDesktopWallpaper("C:\image.jpg")
End Sub
Private Shared Sub SetDesktopWallpaper(ByVal fileName As String)
[Code] .....
It works well, except the wallpaper is always centered. How can I have the ability to choose Fill, tile or center with separate buttons?

Having an issue switching a listview from Tile to Details View with groups. When the list view has groups and the Default View is Tile, when changing the view to Details the first Group is not shown. Its under the column header. I jerry rigged it with creating a global variable to store the tile size and when switching to details view setting the tile size to a new size of 1,1. When switching back to Tile View setting the Tile Size to the Global Tile Size Stored.

So now I'm working on the map editor for my game. The map itself displays 32x32 pixels out from the upper and left bounds of the form. Each tile is also 32x32. So then i have two labels which display the corresponding coordinates divided by 32, this way it would show you x: 7, Y: 8, or whatever. The issue is that the map will be like 15x10, and when moving the mouse to the 15th row/column, it shows 15, but then moving to the 14th row, still shows 15. The rest of it works fine. Here is the code.
Private Sub FrmDesign_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseMove
If e.X < (subZone.Width * 32) + 32 And e.X > ((subZone.Width * 32) -

Say I have a tile map, example:
111111
122221
122221
111111
And we know that the total X and Y coordinates of the map is (6, 4), with the numbers 1 and 2 representing different tiles at specific coordinates.I have already retrieved the X and Y coordinate for each tile, now all I want to do is duplicate(clone) the entire map. After I clone it, I want the user to be able to select any tile, and read data from it.

I have a very basic tiling engine that was made from a YouTube tutorial for making an top down RPG style game and I am trying to adapt it to a platformer game. The code is fairly simple but not being a physics guy I am looking for adding a Mario style jump to the program. I know there will most likely need to be some additional variables added to it such as gravity and velocity. That said I am not sure where to get started, below is the meet and potatoes so to speak of the program.
Code:
' VIEW PORT
Dim ResWidth As Integer = 750
Dim ResHeight As Integer = 550
Dim TileSize As Integer = 32
' GRAPHICS VARIABLES

I'm making a tileset creator and everything is working fine so far except previewing a tile. The way it works now is it gets the image from a picturebox and calls the following code when scrolling the mousewheel. It functions fine but there is a border appearing between the tiles and I can't figure out why. The source image is 32x32 in size. Most likely it is the graphics class not measuring in pixels or something.
Public Sub ResizePreview(ByVal dSize As Drawing.Size)
Dim bm As New Bitmap(TileImage.Image)
Dim pTile As New Bitmap(dSize.Width, dSize.Height,

I am working on a sub that essentially needs to open a text file, and replace all instances of a certain character with a unicode character. I'm trying to do this by reading the original text file byte by byte, converting it to a character, and then either adding that character to a memory stream or writing the unicode character to the memory stream. Then I'm saving the memory stream to the original file.

For each character of this string I want a new character out of the string and then remove the character from the list of characters that still maybe used for other characters. It may not get the same character, you could basically just call this encryption, but it's not what I am making. I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.

i have a small wp7 application with just a main page. The main page has 4 buttons and calls the ConnectionSettingstask for wifi, bluetooth, airplanemode and cellular data setting. I have also managed to create secondary tiles for any of these buttons. The OnNavigateTo event handles the secondary tiles using a key passed from the tile [code]The problem ia that when the user uses the secondary tile to call a task, the application opens directly the connection settings page, but after that the back key, instead of opening the phone main menu, open the main page of my application
