I'm doing a project for school. I'm trying to make a game similar to the Impossible game. I need a square (picturebox) to jump but I want gravity to effect it.
View 1 RepliesIf I have a starting X/Y position and enter an angle and power, I want to determine the X/Y positions for a cannon to follow. I have seen many sites on this but no straight code to use. Anyone have an example of this? I just want the X/Y posiitons in small steps - not far apart from each other.
View 6 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is simulate projectile motion in Visual Basic using Visual Studio. Essentially, something like this but without air resistance or mass.
Anyhow, the way I'm doing it is using a PictureBox and drawing the image in (of, say, a circle) every so often with a timer of interval 1 with its x and y properties being variables calculated by the formulas.
I want to know what formulas I can use to assign to x and y so that I get a movement like the one on the example. I've tried a bunch of stuff, with help from wikipedia and other sites, but can't seem to pull it off.
im trying to make a game in visual basic in which your character can move around, jump, and kill things. I can get the picture box with the character to move and everything is fine. but i did run into one problem. when the character moves over a tree (or something) you can see the gray backround of the character as i made in paint. how do i make the backround of the picturebox transparent?

I am working on a poker game and I have the game setup the way I want it in terms of graphics and I have the code programed to deal the cards out exactly how I want them. Granted, the code is very simplistic, but functional for a new programmer like myself. I'm sure there are other more efficient ways to code my game, but I like mine so far because I can at least understand the majority of it. With that being said, here are a few problems and questions that I have.
1. How come when all 12 cards are dealt out I have some cards repeating in the game? For example, I get queen of diamonds in more than one picture box when I only want the card to be dealt once and then removed until the next game.
2. I was hoping to have a button 3 to clear all the boxes, basically resetting the game to the next game. When I hit button 3 it only clears the contents of picturebox 10 and 12.Other notes: I have the deal down the way I want it. It deals the first 10 picture boxes and a second button deals the 11 and 12 picture boxes.
3. I know this is my next step so I want to post it with the code I currently have. I want to start taking my project one step further by evalutating each of the three rows of cards (3 rows of 3 cards each - I'm not worried about the dealers hand (picture box 10, 11, 12 yet). So I want to evaluate a row of pictureboxes against a "pay scale" and display the win in a text box or label next to the 3 card hand. For example, Q of diamonds, Q of Clubs, Q of spades would win 15, etc. ( have a weird feeling I may have to change the names of the cards (I have them named card1, card2, etc. right now) to something that identifies them in order to evaluate the hands.
Here is the code that I currently have. I'm using visual basic.
Public Class Form1
Dim Rndm As New Random
Dim myPB(11) As PictureBox
Dim HiddenCards As New List(Of String)

I have created a scrabble game that generates random letters. For the user to type in a word using the random letters they have to type it in a text box.
I want my program to prevent users from typing in letters that are not provided in the text box and to allow them to type in the random letters that are provided.
I'm trying to make a simple fruit machine game for windows mobile device.
I can create the game easily enough and flip through pictures in a picture box to display the correct symbol.. but what I'd like to do is do a proper spinning reel, but have no idea where to even start.
What I have is a list of images in an imagelist (or individual files) - what I'd like is them attached to each other and moving downwards, preferably as though it were going around a drum but just them moving would be a start.
On programming assignment without having any real experience in vb. I guess I don't understand subroutines that well. When the program runs it never goes to the computer's turn and does not update the users score either. This assignment is already in but would like to know what is going wrong.

View 8 RepliesCheck Score: The winner is the one with the highest score less than or equal to 21If both scores(player total and computer total) are over 21, or if both are equal but under 21, the game is declared a draw.
There is something wrong with this line:
If intPlayerCardTotal < intScore And intComputerTotal < intScore Then
MsgBox "Draw"

Upon changing the field size a game should restart. Upon trying to do so I see the previous grid (e.g. 10x10) displayed on top of the new one (e.g. 4x4). How would I prevent this and indeed start the game fresh?
View 10 RepliesSo here is my problem. I have a vb game with animated sprites and all, and the character even jumps. However it only works in the y direction. So if i'm moving, he stops in place and jumps, instead of jumping forward. I was wondering if someone knew how to make him move at the same speed forward during the jump.

I currently have a who wants to be a millionaire game that I have made in visual basic 2010. Each question is in its own form. Form1 opens at the start, and question 1 is opened by a button click on Form1. The user has to click on the picture box at the side to show the text for the question each time. If they answer incorrectly, it displays a message box, opens an input box asking for their name, and goes to the form with the high score list, Form17.
Upon opening Form17, I want the scores to load and be displayed in the list box. The high scores are saved in a text file at C: est.txt . Upon clicking menu or end, the high scores are saved to the text file.
I m writing a video poker style game. the form consists of the player's 5 cards, a deal button, a hold button for each card, a button to select amount to play that hand. im using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.
