SnakeHead.Left = SnakeHead.Left + xDifference
SnakeHead.Top = SnakeHead.Top + yDifference
If SnakeBody(1).Left <> SnakeHead.Left And
SnakeBody(1).Top <> SnakeHead.Top Then

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'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.I'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 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 am looking for an elegant datatype and method to handle this problem below in Java or dot Net environment (C# or VB.net)It is a (r x c) matrix of numbers (integers). The 1st column values is a 1D array (range of numbers). The 2nd column takes a different range of values for each of the 1st column value (so, its basically a 2D jagged-array). The 3rd column has a range of value for each pair of 1st and 2nd column values.(when the 1st and 2nd column is fixed with a value, the 3rd column takes a range of values). The number of columns is not fixed and depends on the user input. It can go up to 20 or even more
How do you handle this problem efficiently in java or C# or VB.net.I am linking an image to the equation that I want to program. , in-which C and S are some constants. i=1,2,3...r (number of rows) and k-1=0,1,2,3..c (number of cols). The range of R(i,k-1) depends on maximum and minimum values and MAY also depend on previous values from R(1,k),R(2,k)...R(i-1,k-1) according to the equation. The initial known values are fixed integers (not in a range) for R(1,c), R(2,c),...,R(r,c)

The problem is I need to preserve all previous coordinates so I ReDim Preserve but I need to do it to the Class. And I try this and the NodeCoords variable is set as "nothing" when i am debugging realtime.

Each set of ( 1 million ) prime numbers is in a ZIP file just click on say 1st Million
on the left to download a list as a ZIP file.
Here is a similar page which is a lot easier on the eyes:>>
[URL]
These are of course great to use in any security application or as part of any password.
However with the list so readily available on the internet is it such a good idea to use a prime number as part of a password? Food for thought perhaps? ....
I guess it depends on how long it is too. :-)
You could try to remember one that is close to an important date or other number that you know maybe?
If you are more paranoid use more than one prime number in a password with other characters ( UPPER and lower case letters etc ).

when I got home to try out the method in the above post in my real application things did not work out.The big difference is that my main form is a MDI. When I open my edit form, it's mdiparent is set to the main form. When I click 'edit' and then disable "me" the entire application goes modal.I was expecting only the MDI child to go disabled, not the whole application..Basically, I want only the MDI child window that opens it's "edit" dialog to go disabled..

I am working on a program that is rapidly growing. After the login screen, I have to wait about 10 seconds before the main form shows up. I want to add a loading or splash screen in that time, but I am having a lot of trouble having two forms launch at once.

I thought that creating a simple system service under VB .NET would be a piece of cake. Boy, was I wrong. First, I find general postings through Google that say you should use the Windows.Forms.Timer. Then, I found conflicting information that says you have to derive the timer from a timer class through code to make it work. Then, people are reporting all sorts of trouble using the various types of threads available. I can't debug threads using the VS 2010 Just-in-Time debugger for obvious reasons (although, I don't know if there is an alternate method to doing this).My project is an application launcher (similar to cron) that will fire off periodically within a certain amount of seconds. I am trying to use the Process.Start() method. I have a Beep() function as the first instruction, and the Process.Start, along with a Process.WaitForExit method to make it block as the last instruction. I had my code doing this through timers, but now I am starting to use threads. No difference in execution. The over-ridden OnStart method does kick off (as I am certain through debugging), but nothing ever happens when starting the service in production, as if it were ignoring all my code. Putting loops and logic in the OnStart method yields a process that won't start. I know it is a threading issue, but I also know it must be mandatory to use threads. I am now dumbfounded as to how to make this work. I am curious to know the solution.
In addition to the service class, I have a ServiceInstaller and ProcessInstaller implemented that I copied verbatim from MSDN.Here is some of the code I am trying to work with. Note that this simply reflects the current state of my code in trying to implement the logic within a thread instead of a timer (which to me would be optimal):[code]

I want to find a way to speed up this code.if you look at the condition of If calculated Then in the code below, this is what slowing down the code.While the code provided seem fast with Const initBit = 4 try it with something over 12.
I want to be able to use this code (with calculated param as True) with initBit of 20 or more.
Beware that 20 or more might require a gig or more of ram and/or compiled as x64.

I am required to make a game of concentration, whereby cards are shown for x amount of seconds and then truned over. The user then needs to remember where the cards were and pick two at a time in order to win points - whilst being timed.
Any pointers on where to start, or how to make a 2D control array of pictureboxes that can display the cards into a grid of (10x10) pictureboxes randomly?

I have a multi-dimensional array storeHand(20,6) which stores 6 ints. The int at point 0 in each array represents a rank. So the array ends up looking like this:
(7, 0, 0, 3, 5, 7)
(6, 2, 3, 0, 6, 5)
(5, 0, 0, 0, 13, 4)
(8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3)
(2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1)
I want to re-order the array so that the higher the integer value at position 0 is, the higher it's position will be in the sortedHand(20,6) array. So as above, I'd want sortedHand(20, 6) to look like this at the end:

I have finally been stumped this semester in my Visual basic course. Mainly because I have to write a program that is started from something that I have not created. I have to create a program that will take in info from the user, then spit out the poker hand that they are holding. For instance, the user will type in 1 for ace, 2 for 2, 3 for 3......10 for 10, 11 for Jack, and then in the next column type in C for Clubs, S for Spades.. and so on. Here is the code I have been given:

I have created this code to reset my picture boxes to default locations upon form load.
my sub:
Code:
Sub reset_Alien_locations()
Dim Xlocation As Integer = 26
For segmentIndex As Integer = 0 To AlienArray.Length - 114
[Code]...
I have this sub load up upon form_load event. Yet it doesn't do a thing! I want each picture box to appear on the same row, hence the y axis is set to 49. but I want my X-axis to be added by 30, so that there is a gap of 30 pixels between each picture box, hence the x point is: Xlocation = Xlocation + 30
