Make A 2D Game In VB?
Nov 1, 2010
I'm trying to make a 2D game in VB. As a first step I'm going to make a playing field (a form) on which I will put a character. The character should be able to move up, down, left, and right when you press the arrow keys. How do I start off with this and what should I start off with learning?
I already know the basics in how to make normal apps with buttons, text boxes, labels and so on but I don't quite get how I should start off with something like this.Also I wonder about XNA and VB.Net. Can you use them together or is XNA only for C#? I found some stuff while googling suggesting that XNA for VB.Net had been released.

im trying to make a game in visual basic in which your character can move around, jump, and kill things. 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 making a simple blackjack game for school.It involves using object arrays and for next loops.I have 5 labels for the player, and 5 labels for the dealer. I have both their totals displayed on the form. I also have a deal, hit and stand button. I also need to follow the rules of if the dealer >= to 17 they must stand and if the dealer is < 17 they must hit. Does anybody have any suggestions on how i can code the dealers turn.I already made it so the player clicks hit and when he/she is done clicks stand. This is my stand button so far:
lblTotalDealer.Show()
lblD1.Show()
Dim itemarray2() As Label = {lblD1, lblD2, lblD3, lblD4, lblD5}

How could I start making a Go game? I just need some logic for it, and maybe some code, and then I can do the rest. How can you tell if an area is enclosed, which areas on the board are full, etc.? I also need ideas on how to find infinite capture/retrieve cycles.

I want to make an ingame menu. When you open a game a menu will pop up with a hotkey. I don't need you to do the work for me I just need a sample of a ingame menu with a hot toggle (ie: the menu doesnt need an interface, a black square that pops up with key).

I'm trying to make a patcher/launcher for a game. I want it to happen like this. When the user press's the PLAY button, I want it to check if the files are up to date. If they are, then it will run the exe (it will be in the same directory). If I updated a file, say Sound.x, I want it to download it with a progress bar showing. But the thing is, I looked around and I have no idea how to check if the file is up to date or not.

I'm in the process of designing a game, how can i make the game tick over in time?
First thought would be a timer but is this the correct way?
Also I'm looking at building this game in WPF, By memory WPF does not have the timer control, what would you do then?

I have two "Game of Life" programs. One uses a list of points that represent the live cells, and the other uses a fixed-size grid. The one using the list of points can zoom in and out, is much more elegant in coding, and has an unlimited size grid. However, it needs to search for points in the list, and the more points in the list, the more time it takes
