Randomly Pick Images To Load Into Picturebox
Nov 16, 2009I'm working on creating a very simple dice game for class (not for gambling purposes). The users has already entered their total amount of money, and are are able to wager for every round. We were supplied with 6 different picture files to represent the 6 sides of the dice. It will be located in the C:\Temp folder, and after the user clicks a play button, the form (frmDice) will appear, which has two pictureboxes(pbDice1 & pbDice2) located on it.

Making A GDI++ Game - Monster(picturebox) To Go After The Player(picturebox)
Jan 14, 2010Hey I am making a GDI++ game in vb.net. Now what I want is the monster(picturebox) to go after the player(picturebox). There Are No Vertical Walls. Only The Edge of map barriers. For example to get to the player the AI would have to go to the end of the ledge and either jump off and fall to the lower ledge or take the ladder down. There is no jumping, only falling and going up and down ladders and across the horizontal ledges. So How Can I make this pathfinding system?

Jun 28, 2010I have placed several PictureBox Images of different colored dots(which represent lights) on an image of a Christmas Tree. I can make the lights randomly flash using a randomGenerator and a Select case statement. However, the code is very long. There are 67 lights on this tree and the code is 71 pages long. There has to be an easier way to do this. So far I have tried the following with two images of lights just to see if it would work and it does not work:

View 5 RepliesEmbed A Panel Or Picturebox Containing Controls Or Images Within An Outer Panel Or Picturebox?
Mar 1, 2012In VB6 I could embed a panel or picturebox containing controls or images within an outer panel or picturebox. If I moved the outer control then the embedded panel would move with the outer panel and stay in the same relative position, which is what I require. This doesn't seem to happen in VB.NET, the internal panel stays fixed in its location, even if I have pasted this panel within the outer container. Is there are trick to this or do I have to code to get the internal panel to move with the outer one? How does an internal container remain embedded within an outer one?

Apr 29, 2011My classmates said I was crazy when I told them I was re-making my old blackjack game in VB.It's actually been going a lot easier than it was when I was doing it in C#, though. I'm hitting some snags, which are commented on in the code. The basic logic is mostly right.My main question is how would I add images to the game? Where would I put them? How would I make sure the suits are randomized, too?

Questions About Picturebox And Images?
May 6, 2011 I have made a screensaver in VB.NET. I am running into some roadblocks in the code though. The idea first was to have a ball bounce across my screens. It then evolved into spawning new balls that bounce across the screen. I then added collision detection so they would bounce off each other. Here is the problem that came up:
When said balls overlap each other, you can easily distinguish the edges of the picturebox that holds the images. I have made the background of the picturebox transparent, made the bitmap with a magenta background and made magenta transparent (for the image), but I can still see the picturebox edges when they overlap. It seems the transparency is not only making the background transparent, but giving it X-RAY vision to display not the visible area behind it, but the root background color of the form. here is a sample of the code which makes the transparencies.
Private Sub frmscr_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim bmp As Bitmap = My.Resources._smiley_face_image
Dim clr As Color = Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 128)
bmp.MakeTransparent(clr)
[code].....
I also tried to see if changing the image from background to foreground would help...no such luck.

Concentration Game VB With PictureBox Showing Pictures
Mar 15, 2012The project: As one of the projects for my Advanced Visual Basic course, I'm implementing a Concentration game very much like this project:(url)
The issue: I've got most of the logic working but I'm getting really weird behavior when I flip the cards. The first one flips fine. The second one is *supposed* to flip and hold for a second (I use a Thread.Threading.sleep(1000)) then flip back to covered if they're not a match.
For some reason, if they don't match it never flips the second card over so that you can see the picture underneath. It evaluates correctly but if the pics don't match, you never get to see the 2nd card.
Secondary issue (not as critical): At lines 67-79 there are some bits of code that are commented out. I'm trying to use a For Each loop to go through all my picture box controls and assign them to the array of structures and then assign the cover image without having to do it one at a time. It would save me about 250 lines of code and help me to still respect myself in the morning.
In addition to including my code, I will upload a copy of the entire project folder in case anyone wants to compile it and see the behavior for themselves.[code...]
Game Programming :: Disposing A Picturebox From A Form?
Jun 24, 2011I've tried so many ways to get rid of picture boxes for my space invaders game, yet it's not working. The bullet hits the alien, the alien goes invisible (which it should) but it doesn't go to a new location or get disposed. And the bullet then intersects with it again but because it's invisible the user just see the bullet reset out of no where and the score gets added which it shouldn't.
Code:
If Bullet1.Bounds.IntersectsWith(AlienArray(0).Bounds) Or Bullet2.Bounds.IntersectsWith(AlienArray(0).Bounds) Or Bullet3.Bounds.IntersectsWith(AlienArray(0).Bounds) Or Bullet4.Bounds.IntersectsWith(AlienArray(0).Bounds) And AlienHitArray(0) = False Then
[code]....
So, basically my question is how do I remove aliens (pictureboxes) off the board or disabled the picture box in space invaders when they are hit. (my bullet collision works fine).

VS 2010 PictureBox To Determine Items In Game?
Jan 21, 2012[PictureBox] [PictureBox] [PictureBox] [PictureBox] [PictureBox].
All of them have no images. Now. I want to make an item editor for the game I'm playing. To edit the items, You have to place an ini file in the game's directory with the template below:
Quote:
[ItemSet1]
SetName=Set1
RecItem1=1028
[Code]...
And untill 6 - what after the = is the item ID. Each item has a unique ID for it (I have a list containg each item name and their ID).
Now what I want to do is: I have a listview on the left with each character in the game Image and Text. I also have a listview on the bottom with all the imgaes of each item and each text for the item.
I want to make it so when the user double clicks an item from the listview, It will automatically add it to the first picturebox (If it's empty). He can choose any item to add to one of the 6 picturebox's, When it fills one after one. When all the picturebox's are full, nothing will happen.
Now what I want is: How can I determine which "item" the user chose and according to that assign the item's picture to the picturebox, and then make a new ini file to set picturebox1's image's ID to RecItem1, picturebox2's image's ID to RecItem2 - and so on.

Create Grid Of Images Using PictureBox?
Feb 26, 2011I'm trying to accomplish is having a 20x20 pixel image show up multiple times as determined by the grid selected. To keep things simple, what I'm trying to do is create a 9x9 grid of a image onto a form. I'm assuming that a picture box is the way to go, but don't know how to make that happen or if it's even possible.
So it would go something like this:
2D array already assigned:
Sub ShowGrid()
For rw As Short = 0 To 8
[Code].....
But instead of using a text box with values, I want to show a grid of a small image file, like cup.png which is 20x20 pixels or whatever, so what would show up on the form in this case would be a 9x9 grid of the image file over and over to create a grid.
Then the next step I hope to accomplish is to have that 20x20 square picture hold the grid(x,y) value for a mouse click. So if the image at grid(3,5) is clicked, it will give me that value, 3-5.
