Snake Game Freeze When Hold A Key Down?
Apr 8, 2012
I'm trying to make the classic Snake game in VB.NET, but if I hold a key (any key) during the game, after a few seconds the game freezes until I release the key. I've tried lots to fix this, but nothing works, maybe because I don't understand the problem.'m assuming that when I hold down a key, the Form1_KeyDown function gets called, and when, after a few seconds, the key goes into "I'm being held down" mode, that function is constantly called, so the timers don't get a chance to update.

But like I said, I'm probably wrong.
I've been struggling with this for a while. I think this is all the necessary code, please let me know if it isn't.

I read the boundary thread and I think im still lost on how to do this but my goal is to set boundaries so the snake doesnt just keep going off the screen, also how to set a boundary up so the snake cannot hit itself (like in the original snake game)

I am currently in the process of making a snake game using VB.NET... I was just wanting to gather ideas on how to do the body of the snake..Currently I have a class called SnakeBody which contains the following code:
[Code]...
I guess what I am asking is if Dim body As PictureBox a logical thing to put in my class. As in, I am not sure if that is the correct thing to do? To create the actual body of the snake I will have an array of these SnakeBody objects. If `'Dim body As PictureBox is valid How do I reproduce the same picturebox everytime my snake eats something?

we were asked to create a game.Me and my friend decided to go ahead and make the game 'Snake' (I think you all know this one)Since we never had any teaching on how to do it we looked already made games and used the same code (we found this one on a Youtube tutorial so I think it was alright to copy it).We picked it because it seemed pretty easy and we can tell what each thing does in the code.I also like fooling around so I changed all he values and stuff so I understood better what was going on.The game goes great but sometimes when the snakehead touches the food it doesn't 'eat' it and I don't know why :This is the part of the code that takes care of eating the food.(PictureBox2 is the snakehead, PictureBox15 is the food)
[code]...
I just don't know why does happens. The PictureBox2 touches PictureBox15 but nothing of what I typed above happens.

I'm having some wierd problems with my Looping. I'm was using a thread to start a looping routine to sample the keyboard for pressed keys. The loop worked fine when I made a call to it from the thread in my form load routine. However when I just made a call to the samplekeys routine without using the thread my application will freeze and it won't load.I'm making the call in the form load routine. Private KeyThread As NewThreading.Thread(AddressOf SampleKeys)hen start the thread in the form loading procedure , but if I just make a direct call to the samplekey routine without using a thread my application freezes.Here is the the thread don't think there is a problem with it.
Public Sub SampleKeys()
Dim N As Integer
N = System.Environment.TickCount

Im working on a Texas Hold'Em game and I am gonna make it so i can have 9 players in the game, I put 9 blank labels on my form and a button. What im looking to do is have an input box pop up and ask for a player name. That part is easy enough and i got that, now im looking for the most efficient way to put what i put in the input box into the 9 labels. Should i have multiple input box variables, each one to handle a label? I know thats not very efficient which is why i wasnt leaning toward that. What i had tried doing was having the input box fill a listbox, which i got that to work fine, but i ran into issues with loading whats in my listbox to my labels. Its my assumption since its trying to load the stuff in the listbox to a label before its even there, it gives an error such as the array is outside of the index. I tried a Do until loop to tell it to do the input box, fill the listbox, and then try to read from it but my problem came is what if only 5 players are playing and the program is trying to read 9 players.

I am setting up a snake game, I just like to know a few things. Do I require a GRID? and the grid needs to be the same size as the square obviously but how do you go about moving the snake to the square. I mean why do I even require a grid? Why cant I move the snake by its own size. Just need some clarification of the steps I should take to make my snake game. I would like to do this from scratch.

I have a problem with snake game. I never tried to make a game with VB, but now i tried to make snake from this tutorial:So i added food to this snake game, and when i taking food, it increases score, but length cannot be increased and i don't know why. This code is in timer to check if snake head is on the food:
If p(m).X = food.Location.X And p(m).Y = food.Location.Y Then
score += 25
food.Visible = False

I have a dgv, I populate it, and I insert a row at the pos 0. And I want to freeze this row even when the user sorts the dgv.
How can I make this? The frozen property alone seems to be not enough.

Currently I have to retrieve over 2000 records from DB and bind with combobox. and then follow with another 3 retrieving (less than 20 records)
My problem is when I call this function, my GUI became freeze.
I try to use Application.DoEvents() method but it still didn't work.I read some post and pages, they mention about BackGroundWorker and .Net 2.0. But what i use it MS 2003 with 1.1 so i think i can't access BackGroundWorker.

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.
