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 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'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.
View 7 RepliesI have an Idea but im not sure how to get started... Its a map maker... There will be a panel on the side for items and it will draw a grid and you can make a map using the items on the grid.

View 10 RepliesC# and VB.NET comes with built in types that maps to the CLR types. Examples are: int (C#) and Integer (VB) maps to System.Int32, long (C#) and Long (VB) maps to System.Int64. What are the best practices for deciding when to use built in types or not to use them (using the System.* structs/classes instead)?
View 7 RepliesIs it possible to import a dll which is not built in .Net in a vb.net project like htis:Add Reference -> Browse -> CreatingDll.dll file

I have a program that reads a .csv file which contains 378 lines with 16 fields. The problem is, I want this data to be built in to the .exe, instead of in a separate file. In the old days, it would have looked something like this[code]...
Is there an easy way to do this in VB, or am I going to be stuck writing 1 line for each 6064 actual variables? I know it is considered by many to be "bad" to have data built in, but this is what I am after.
I need all the dll's in the following format:
Dim references() As String = {"Reference1.dll", "Reference2.dll"}
but I don't know where to find the dll names.
It would be good if visual basic had standard math constants like pi, the Euler number, and others built-in so one doesn't have to define them each time and have the possibility of making typos. Even some of the physical constants in MKS unit could be included like the Boltzmann's Constant, speed of light, permittivity and such. Each could be a special simple like kb for the Boltzmann's constant. Or it could be a properties like phyconst.c for the speed of light, phyconst.kb for the Boltzmann's, phyconst.sb for the steffan-Boltzmann's constant, pmathconst.e for e=2.71.

I have a problem where a button at the top left of a tab control will not appear in debug or compiled. There is no code telling it to hide.
Now, I can make it re-appear by moving it, then moving it back to the exact same position. If I then re-build it will be there.
It will then be there for a number of builds, at which point it might disappear again. This seems to happen for a few buttons in my project. The common factors are that they are on a tab control (standard dot net ctrl) and near the top left of a tab page.

View 8 Repliesi have an application that's in development, but some modules of the application are already built, so the application it's installed in several computers. In my code, i call an external class that i built with several functions that i use in multiple applications, in this class i have a small piece of code that checks in the network (internal), if a new version of the application (Msi File), of the current application it's available, and if it's available, it runs the Msi file.
msiexec /package MSIPackage.msi That worked fine in windows XP, but now some machines have been upgraded to windows 7, and the user need other credentials to run the package. (Elevate Privileges). Other problem it's that in my application i create several folders in the installation and the user doesn't get any permissions to write in the folders.For example i have one Log folder, and i can't write any logs to it.
I understand that .NET is multi-threaded and that is a good thing, but I continually run into issues when I have a background worker for example that is updating some control on my form and I have to do:[code] My question is why is this not built into the framework - surely if I am trying to update a DataGridView it should be intelligent enough to know when the update is from another thread and it could do all the above itself?
