I have my character moving across the screen, I have enemies that randomly came at the character, and I have it so when the enemy collides with the character you loose a life.
But how do I have the character shoot bullets.
I know how to do the keypress, and make the bullets move with a timer. But I don't know how I can create an infinite amount of bullets that can fire.
I am currently making a game like the worlds hardest game but with a difference. I have made 9 levels so far and am doing the boss level and i cant figure out how to make the boss shoot "bullets".there are two types of bullets the boss can shoot bullet1 - moves in a constant speed to the left after being shot bullet2 - moves in a constant speed to the left after being shot and follows the player on the y-axis The boss only follows the player on the y-axis(I have done this)The boss only shoots bullet1 until his health is below 50 then he increases the rate at which he shoots and randomly shoots bullets between bullet1 and bullet2The only way to win this game is to collect coins which randomly appears in the map, after you get the coin you decrease the bosses health by 5 (I have done this)If the player touches bullet or the boss then the level restarts (I have done this)
View 5 Repliesup to now I've have been running my bullets on automatic fire, through 4 separate timers.My Nxt major task is to make my space bar shoot bullets. I have tried attempting to code the spacebar, for the first bullet. I was thinking that when the spacebar is pressed it turns on a timer, thus the bullet is fired. Then when the bullet hits the top of the screen or an alien the timer is turned off and bullet location is reset. Now the bullet1 no longer fires.I find the logic complicated but it should work.
my variables:
Code:
Public BulletMovement As System.Drawing.Point

View 1 Repliesi am having a tad of a problem when it comes to popups and new windows.

I am having problems loading login forms (asking for username and password to connect to the internet) and any window that uses javascript commands in the href to load the popups.For example:If anyone has encountered such a problem before and knows how to fix it it would be great if you could post up some code or a link to a walk through so I can see how its done.
Text needs to be copied from 1 wordprocessing document to another wordprocessing document. The source document is not always accessible when inserting the text in the target part. The text is serialized and retrieved later on.
They way I currently do this is by copying the paragraphs elements and then appending them into the other document. This works fine unless bullets are involved. The bullets are not copied from the source to the target document.[code]...

So for my final project in my Visual Basic.net class I am making a airplane game quite similar to Space Invaders.I think I have a good idea as to how to get the bullet from the planes to shoot. However, I was wondering where exactly the bullet picture box is going to be placed. I don't understand it. Is it going to be under the picture box of the plane or what?
View 17 RepliesWhile using SelectionBullets in a RichtextBox I am experiencing some issues with FontColor and the SelectionBullets Color. For example I am selecting the entire text in the RTB and set it to FontColor Yellow - the font color itself is fine; the problem: some Bullets turn Yellow, some stay black. Would there be a way to have those Bullets permanently colored in black?
View 1 RepliesI am creating a game for my class, it is above the level that I know a bit, but I have learned a lot from creating it.
This is how it it works:
-Every time a timer ticks a picturebox is created and displayed on the form, the picturebox is added to a collection. These enemies then move down the form
-My character fires bullets, and when they hit the enemy the enemy and the bullet gets disabled and removed, but not from the collection
-I have another timer that when it ticks, a random number is generated between 1, and the enemy collection count, so that a enemy missile can randomly come out of an enemy
This all works, but after the enemies are hit and removed from view, bullets still get generated from spots where the enemies once where, so to me that means that the destroyed enemies still remain in the collection.
If I try to remove the picture box from the collection I get an error.
I am creating a game for my class, it is above the level that I know a bit, but I have learned a lot from creating it.My problem is that when my user (doctor) sends out a bullet and it hits the enemy (the enemies are generated into a collection), the picturebox is disabled and no longer visible, but that picturebox spot in the collection for all the enemies is still there.
So when I generate a bullet and shot it from a random enemy in the enmCollection, sometimes that random enemy is one that is already been killed.I tried using enmCollection.Remove(..) whenever the collision with the enemy and a bullet occurs, but it gives me an overflow error or another error.
I've been trying for a day now.Everything in the game works correctly except for this.

I am making a 2D game that has a player (me) that shoots bullets (pictureboxes) and kills other enemies. The problem is that when there are many bullets on the screen it gets very slow because it has to move every picturebox.

View 5 RepliesI have a character that I made in graphics and when an enemy attacks the character, I want it to flicker, how would I do this?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to make bounds for a character that can jump. I have made the character graphic into a rectangle and I have a square block in the game that the character must jump onto and I have set that as a rectangle.
How would I make it so when the character jumps onto the square block, he stays up there and then when he jumps down, and touches the ground, he stays on the ground. My current jump code is standardized; it does not detect changes in the Y-coordinate. What I have done in the jump for the character is I have made it so the Y-coordinate is increased by a certain amount and decreased by the same amount so the difference is equal to 0.
For example:
Character.LocationY += 8
Character.Location -= 8
I want code for RichTextBox when I write text it make space automatically before and after some character like Spacial symbol example , I write in RichTextBox this statement :

make space between spacial symbol and other character automatically

[code].....
but yet this fails.. (the output isn't itself in a new line) what's the explanation for that?From what I know, doesn't System.Diagnostics.Debug.Writeline does something which looks like this:
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write(input)
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write("
")
so regardless of my input it should always have a newline char even if there is a terminating 00 char in my input?
I understand that within a rich field text box you can search for a string and then format that string, but I am looking to change the formating of a certain position in a string regardless of what character is at that position.Can this be done in VB 2008?
