If 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 3 RepliesOur VB.NET application has a .NET dll, with a registered TLB file; so that VBA in Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel can call into the application. The application functions correctly except when it is called into via MSO on Vista. This functions correctly on Windows XP machines but on Windows Vista and Windows 7 machines it is returning a 429 error. A reference to the TLB file can be assigned in the VBA References dialog box, on Vista.It doesn't appear to be a problem in our application as a simple Test libary does the same thing. Microsoft Applications have been 'Run As' Adminstrator, and Vista UAC is turned off, but I am thinking there is perhaps a security issue?

View 4 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.
Been experimenting using VB.Net to make a game, Got most of it figured out but now my method of shooting missiles causes a terrible lag, This is how i'm doing it now.
Declares Private missiles As New ArrayList()
Dim canFire As Boolean = True
Fire
[CODE]...
Move all the missiles X positions + 1
Try
For Each pic As PictureBox In missiles
pic.Location = New Point(pic.Location.X + 1, pic.Location.Y)
Next
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
I have a timer making canFire true every second. It is a GIF Image, I tested with a PNG image and the lag is barely noticeable. Is there a better way to draw them while still being able to use GIF images?
I'm trying to make a space invaders rip off, and I'm currently stuck on how to make the missile fire from the center of the player's ship. I have the missiles all in a control array, and they move up the screen fine, they just dont start at the x point of the ship, they start on the left margin.
Dim Line As Integer
If Missile(0).Location.Y < 391 Then
Missile(0).Location = New System.Drawing.Point(Line, Missile(0).Location.Y - 5)

I'm trying to create a basic mmo game for fun in vb.net. I have done it before with a game api but I'm recently reformat my computer and can no longer find it. I'm trying to dynamically create a new picture box that will be my character or NPC and I can get the image to show up on the screen correctly but I'm not able to use "myGuy" anywhere else in the project. So the character basically sits there and does nothing. I'm wondering if there is away to call "myGuy" (myGuy.Top = 40) in another sub? If you know of a good game api that is not a hog and not expensive let me know.

I spend my spare time trying to create a football game in VB.NET. I have a save game file saved using serialization which I am using to test code. This file contains all the elements of gameplay (stored plays, games, options, etc...) I create this file in the software itself using the code I created; I put a lot of work into this save game file and I would like to continue using it.
However, I discovered I need to add a couple member variables to the class from which the saved object is derived (object is called m_League, class is ClLeague). Any time I've altered ClLeague my old saved games don't load anymore because the new m_League object does not match the old m_League object. I have to start a new game and create m_League from scratch which wastes a lot of time.
This must pop up in with the professionals out there who write patches for software and need the users old saved files to continue working. Is there any trick to this situation or do I have to just accept it?
I am a noob to Visual Basic and I am currently learning it at my college. I have a final project to do and I am having some trouble deciding on how to attack it. First off, I have done a lot of research and I cannot find my answer, so I am using this(post) as a last resort. The book my prof is having me use is outdated, its coding on vb6, and we are using vb2010...hence my problem. I am not looking for an answer in code, but more to be pointed in the right direction, or maybe some classes that I do not know about.[code]...

I am trying to create a sports scoreboard that has a game clock. (I am very much a noob at programming)I seem to have a problem with the game clock, I know I am sorry, another timer thread. (Trust me I read through about 50 of the 77 posts with 'countdown' in them)I have two solutions so far, unfortunately neither one are exactly what I am looking for. I want to have a scoreboard that counts down from a set time in the format of 00:00 and allows me to decrease and increase the time if it differs from the official clock.

I am new to VB, trying to create a tic-tac-toe game but none of the tic-tac-toe tutorials use 2 dimensional arrays. Since tic-tac toe is 3x3 I created 9 buttons and want either an X or an O to appear depending on where the user clicks. I want one set of instructions to handle the multiple buttons. I was told to use Case statements.
This is what I have so far. Not sure how much is right but hopefully it gives you an idea of what I am looking for.

I am creating a points system for a game, this is the code I have but it isn't working as I want it to.
Dim intScore As Integer = 10
Dim intNumOfGames As Integer = 0
intNumOfGames += 1
intScore = intScore - 2
The user will start will a score of 10, but everytime they click the button the user should lose 2 points off the score. But my code above that doesn't happen, when the user clicks the button it only happens once leaving the user with 8 points throughout the game.
I create a mouse game for a single player. Set up a form with 4 rows of pictures boc controls. when a start button is clicked the mouse is "behind" one of the buttons while a stop image is behind 3 other picture boxes. The object of the game is to click the correct picturebox that contains the mouse. If the stop image appears before the mouse then the game is over. I don't understand how the logic works.
View 2 RepliesI have to create a game for programming class in school, my teacher said we were allowed to borrow code and then manipulate it our selves to create our own individual game. I chose Tetris so i am wondering if anybody has any code for this game from vb 2008.
View 2 RepliesI am having trouble with my code for Guess my number. I am definitely amatuer. Yes it is a homework assignment. No I am not asking you to do it for me. But I am stuck.Your GUI program is a game to be played by the user. See Screen Shot on Screen Shot Tab..A new employee is working on a classified mission and the program will randomly pick an expected profit to be guessed by the user.The program must randomly select an number within the range of 1 to 900.Do NOT use a 'Start Game' button to generate the rand number. Generate a rand number when the GUI is loaded.
1. Create a form that displays the rules of the game on a label.
2. Create a textbox for the user to input the guess and also a 'guess' button.
3. If the user is outside the given range, provide a proper message (<1 Is not a valid guess or >900 is not a valid guess)and clear the guess.
4. When a user has a valid guess, display a proper message (either too high or too low) and tell the user to guess again.
5. With a correct guess, display a proper message and change the form's background color to red and disable the guess textbox.
6. Create a reset button that allows the user to play the another game with a new random number.
7. Create a show me button that displays the number and does not generate another random number (allow the current game to continue).
8. Create a exit button to exit the program.
9. Ensure that you include error checking to prevent a user guess that is out of the given range and for any non-numeric characters.
10. Create a single Help menu item that launches a message box that displays valuable and meaningful information for the program and usage.
11. Create a label that tracks the guess count per game. Each time a new number is generated, start the guess count at 0.
12. Create a max guess limit set to 5 and use a progress bar to track the progress to approach the limit.
13. After each valid guess (1-900), clear the guess and update a label/textbox that displays all of the previous guesses up to 5 entries.
Here is my code so far. I have been working on one point at a time and then testing it. I have not even made it to numbers 11 - 13. I am not getting actual errors. Instead of my reset button clearing all fields at once I am having to click it more than once. Instead of displaying messages per scenario the message label is staying on either input a number or your number is too low. My Answer is not displaying when Show answer is clicked-perhaps my answer coding is wrong? [code]
