Game Programming :: Getting A Highscore To Save And Load Using My.Settings
May 20, 2011I've tried to implement this highscore saving feature, so that when my application closes, the highscore saves within the my.settings storage function, and when my program loads up again, the same highscore loads up from this file. atm, it works ONLY within the application (I can close forms and it's still there, but if i end the program it resets to 0 next time it's loaded).it's basically 2 lines of code..1 for saving and 1 for loading..is this the best way to save a highscore for a game? I was initially thinking of making a database and linking it to that, but apprantly it's easier with the My.settings. even thought of using stremawriter but it's more uneccessary work over my.settings.[code]
View 7 RepliesUse To Write Scripts For A Certain Game?
May 22, 2009I am writing a script editor application that users can use to write scripts for a certain game. I am using a Treeview to display all the script files in the default folder, where they are usually located. The Treeview functions as some kind of File Browser, but only shows the relevant script files.
Now, I have had a few 'complaints' about this: the problem was that not every stores their scripts in the default location, and hence they cannot use the File Browser properly. So I came up with an idea that would allow the user to add and remove folders from the File Browser; turning the Treeview more or less into a 'working directory' into which the user can add whatever folder containing script files that he wishes.

View 5 RepliesWrite A Little Program To Allow Editing A Game File?
Jan 27, 2012I've been banging my head for a while now and just can't seem to figure out what the problem is here. I have not really worked with XML much and thought it would be good to do some work with it in order to have a better understanding. I decided to write a little program to allow editing a game file. I found some examples on the net of basic XML functions and tried to use one of them in my program.
The Xml file I am working with is huge so I will show just enough to give an idea of the format.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Proto version ='2'>
<Unit id ='0' name ='InvisibleProjectile'>
<DBID>20</DBID>
[Code]...
I have tried different text in the select nodes portion, such as "proto" "/proto" and the above but in every case I get a count of 0 on the node list and nothing is displayed in my textbox.Each <Unit> is roughy 30-35 lines and the file has over 59k lines of units so clearly the count should be rather high but always 0.

View 2 RepliesC# - Game Engine/Platform To Use In Order To Write Once And Deploy Everywhere?
May 24, 2012Basically, I want to design a strategy game, where most of the game will be spent in menu areas and making "decisions" (like a Tycoon style game), however, there will still be some graphics, and I would prefer 3D, but if not possible, can resort to 2D. The graphics aren't user controlled, but the moving objects will be the result of the "decisions" the players make.
I really just want to write it once, and have it run on the following Platforms:
Windows Desktop
iOS (iPhone, iPod, iPad)
Android Phones (not strictly required)
(any other platforms would just be a bonus, but at the absolute minimum, all i really want is Windows Desktop and iOS [iPhone, iPod, iPad]).
Now, I don't want to learn objective-c or any other languages which i may have no use for in the future, I really just want to be able to program in Visual Studio (VB.Net or C#, since I can convert from vb.net to c# I will just be writing it in vb.net).
Is it possible to write in vb.net/c# and deploy to all these platforms? I heard of MonoTouch, so i can convert from vb to c# but is this seemless or difficult to do? Do I have to learn and write in another language in order to make tweaks to make it work on the iPhone or Android? So, with MonoTouch, can I still use XNA or is there a different engine that I need to learn/use with Visual Studio?
Alternatively, if I cannot do this all in VB.NET or Visual Studio, what programming language and/or graphics engine should I learn in order to be able to write once and deploy everywhere that is relevant? (So, not fussed about Linux, Mac's or other less used OS's).
Right now, I haven't learnt XNA but am wondering if I should or need to, or if i should learn another engine & language. Basically, I don't really know what I need to learn/know in order to be able to write once and deploy on Windows Desktop, iOS (iDevice's) and maybe Android. So, my question really is, what do I need to learn in terms of both the programming language and game/graphics engine. Right now I know VB.NET and would prefer to use what I know, but if not possible, then am prepared to learn another language & engine combination to be able to achieve what I want, if this is what I need to do, I would like to know what language & engine I need to learn.

View 7 RepliesWrite A Simple Game On Which The Player Has To Pursuit Some Figures On The Screen?
Oct 16, 2009I'm currently trying to write a really simple game on which the player has to pursuit some figures on the screen. Since i'm just writing the prototype version i'm using a Panel wich i redraw 1000 times per second. Now, i want that every level is similar but not the same as past level, so i created a Level Class that contains the game objetcs of Player Class and the Figure Class, wich are the ones that have all the movement subrutines. So, with a Timer, 1000 times per second, i get the input from a joystick, pass it to the player objetc and update the position of the figure object. All this stuff is reported to an internal Panel that every level object has, wich i refresh and then pass it ByVal to the panel that the player actually sees. The problem i have is that after the first level ends, when the second level starts running, i can see the last frame of the fisrt level flashing behind the figures and it makes the game run a bit slower after every level. I tried keeping a copy of the inicial state of exterior panel and use it to clean the one i'm using on the levels but it didn't work...

View 9 RepliesSave & Load Buttons
Mar 16, 2010I have been playing around with Visual Basic for about a week now. I created a program that I use at work basically just to organize my day.
The program consists of buttons that link to programs and spreadsheets that I use often, as well as a checklist of tasks I've completed and text boxes that I use for reminders. Other buttons affect GroupBox texts and Label texts.
What I'd like to know is how I can implement a Save and Load button? I'd the current state of the program to be saved so it can be loaded in the event that I have to shut the program down. (Check boxes checked, Text in Text boxes, Labels, etc...)
I've been looking online for HOURS and I've messed around with the SaveSettings feature... nothing seems to work.
