Sprites Over Laping One Another?
Mar 23, 2011I'm having problems getting random rooms generated without having them over lap one another. I've tried everything that I can think of and none of them work right when there is more than three room being generated, but even then two of the three rooms over lap. Is there any other way to check to see if the rooms are over laping or not. Here is the code I'm using.

Can Sprites Be Loaded As An Array
Aug 17, 2011I'm trying to make a trading card computer game with my own trading cards and I was wondering if I can load the sprites of all the cards into an array that looks like this: Dim Card(342) as CSprite (CSprite class helps display the sprite on screen) and not have any problems displaying each one on the screen.

Move Multiple Sprites Simultaneously?
Jun 18, 2011Not wanting to hijack 45minutes thread, I thought I might spawn a thread of my own based on his question.
PlausiblyDamp was kind enough to provide some generic code, which I have modified and attached.
I have made a few alterations mostly around removing random objects, as the game in question (Space Invaders) has a set amount of aliens and set starting positions.
As a start I have limited the UpdatedPostion to horizontal movement as the aliens only go side to side unless they hit an edge.[code]...
Control Picture Sprites With The Arrow Keys?
Jan 28, 2010I'm trying to control him using the arrow keys.
I've already tryed using the case key event handler, but I must be using it the wrong way, because VB 2008 express (what I'm using) produces a bunch of errors("Type expected" as well as it won't work). This is what I've tryed:
Private Sub GameField_KeyDown(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal E As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
Select Case E.KeyCode

Game Programming :: Rendering Of Multiple Sprites (2D Processing)?
Jul 29, 2010I am embarking in the wonderous world of 2D animation and using directx9. I am a complete noob in the world of game engine design etc. I find DX quite usefull and in fact easy to use but in my opinion it's the engine design that makes or breaks the application. There are a massive amount of tutorials on the web explaning how to render a single image to a target but not so much for rendering a lot of sprites.

View 2 RepliesChange Color Of An Animating GIF?
Feb 13, 2009I'm putting together a user control that I want to have some animation in (it shows a pump running) and was able to cobble together a nice animated GIF with Photoshop:When I pop it onto a PictureBox in my control, it animates and looks really good.The problem I have, is I want to be able to change the color-palette information in the image to adjust the hue.Thus, when the user chooses "Color.Red", the image is altered so the dark blue in the image becomes Color.Red and the other colors are adjusted accordingly.
The color math I got no problem with, my problem is, how do you change the color information of an animated gif image without ruining it?I can't just convert it to a bitmap or I loose the animation. It has a single, universal color palette so it shouldn't be too hard.Pre-rendered GIFs aren't an option since these pumps pump colored liquid, I want the user to be able to set them on the fly.

View 11 RepliesAnimating Form Resize - It Doesn't Look Very Smooth?
Aug 6, 2009I have a form positioned slightly above the taskbar/system tray in the bottom right corner of my desktop window.It's sort of like a pop-up notification.The notification itself looks great,but there's a button on it which resizes the form up, animating the sizing in increments of 5px whilst keeping it's position relative to the bottom-right corner of the screen.
The problem with this is that it doesn't look very smooth. Adjusting Me.Width resizes from the left so you have to then move the form to the left with Me.Left to compensate. Me. SetBounds just seems to be a wrapper for setting those properties anyway.Is there anything I can do to have the form smoothly (or at least appear to) resize outwards from the left of the form?
