have created a pacman sort of game, and I am having some problems with it, everything eorks but when I randomise the treasure pacman needs to collect it randomises it on the green which pacman isn't all
View 4 RepliesI am trying to build a pacman game. Currently I am in the process of building the AI for the ghosts. The way I have the AI working is whenever a ghost enters an intersection, it will check where the player is relative to its position,then it will move in one of the possible directions depending on the intersection it is at.The problem I am experiencing though is whenever ghost is moving horizontally it cannot be sent to the left. Similarly,when it is moving vertically, it cannot be sent up or down.This doesn't allow it to turn around when it is moving to the right or to the bottom. It can be sent right when moving left though. When searching through my code I cannot see why this is.
View 1 RepliesI am having some trouble working out how to make the ghosts chase PacMan. I have made all the code and stuff work with needing a grid maker thingy. I have do in all by placing the walls (pb's) myself and also with the pelets (food). Though I have a problem with getting the ghosts doing their job, they only just change image with a timer tick. Any simple way of making the ghosts chase you?
View 4 RepliesI dynamically (by programming text, not drawing in GUI) created a matrix of 10x10 buttons named 'Button1' till 'Button100'. In a formula I calculate a number, say '87'. If I next want to reference 'Button87' and change e.g. the background clolor and text properties, how would I do that? I am creating a PocketPC game using VB2005.

I want to make a simple quiz game like kbc in vb.net 2008, for that i have created five buttons in my vb application. and one table in sql as under
create table kbc
(
Question varchar(100),
Option1 varchar(100),
Option2 varchar(100),
Option3 varchar(100),
Option4 varchar(100),
Answer varchar(100)
)
And i have inserted these records in this table like this
insert kbc values('Largest key of ur pc is ','Enter','Backspace','Shift','Space','Space')
insert kbc values(2,'How many muscles are there in a human body ?','206','602','605','208','605')
Now back to my vb form the first button will catch the question and second,third,fourth,fifth buttons will catch options from sql database that i have shown. just as kbc i want to show one question with its four options. and when user click on any button i also want to check the right answer. right answer is also in my kbc table's Answer column. to do that i have written this code
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Threading
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
[CODE]...
On all button's click i have declared temp variable to catch the last column's text from my sql table and then i want to match this text with the text of that button the user clicked. if texts match i want to go to the next question of my quiz program. how to do that working. but it is not working as i want.
I'm trying to teach myself how to create a Random Number Generator in Visual Basic 2008 using a menu system and I'm having difficulty with the following:
If I type in a number above 100, I don't get a message appearing saying that the number that I typed is too high.I don't know what I need to code to start a new game.How do I get messages to show up when both pressing the "Check Me" button and using the "Give Me the Number" option to say whether the answer is correct or too high or too low.[code]...
I'm trying to create just a simple animation of a pacman eating the food. I have the sprites, the pacman sprite is suppose to eat the food and move back and forward and the food disappears. I'm not sure if I should use point structures or animation based on pictures.Any one know how to draw pacman using built in items?
View 1 RepliesI've got a small pacman-like game where ghosts are running around a maze. At the moment, their movement is completely random. Each step, they determine which directions they can possibly move in (taking into account walls), and then they choose, randomly, one of those directions.Now, this works, but it's not very good. If a ghost is in a long corridor where he can only move up or down (or left/right), then he will usually not go anywhere, but just move up, down, up, down, down, up, up, down, up, etc. So, while it does move every step, in the long run it doesn't go anywhere.

I can get the picture box with the character to move and everything is fine. but i did run into one problem. when the character moves over a tree (or something) you can see the gray backround of the character as i made in paint. how do i make the backround of the picturebox transparent?

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.
I am trying to make a game which basiclly lets you shoot ducks. i have a picture as a background (set as form image) i then have picturebox's with ducks flying flying around you shoot them the disapear etc.

Upon changing the field size a game should restart. Upon trying to do so I see the previous grid (e.g. 10x10) displayed on top of the new one (e.g. 4x4). How would I prevent this and indeed start the game fresh?

I currently have a who wants to be a millionaire game that I have made in visual basic 2010. Each question is in its own form. Form1 opens at the start, and question 1 is opened by a button click on Form1. The user has to click on the picture box at the side to show the text for the question each time. If they answer incorrectly, it displays a message box, opens an input box asking for their name, and goes to the form with the high score list, Form17.
Upon opening Form17, I want the scores to load and be displayed in the list box. The high scores are saved in a text file at C: est.txt . Upon clicking menu or end, the high scores are saved to the text file.
I m writing a video poker style game. the form consists of the player's 5 cards, a deal button, a hold button for each card, a button to select amount to play that hand. im using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.
