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?
how to restart timer when is end? my timer code is:[code]
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to complete a time program for a class that I am currently taking in which it's supposed to utilize a Tick Method. Essentially, the Tick should be incrementing the time by one second. The problem is that I don't know where to place it. The book I have doesn't go much into this, just the code. I have also placed the timer in the Designer, set enable to True and set the interval to 1000 milliseconds. This is the code I found for the Tick Method

I am using timer.tick in my function, which reads data from a hardware at a interval given in tick. It is accepting the minimum interval of 1ms. Is there any way to run the tick in the interval of microseconds.
View 4 RepliesI want my game to tick over month by month at a set interval. I would use the timer control to get the interval. But how can I pause it? Say if one "month" is 5 minutes in my game and user hits pause. I would disable the timer but then when they unpause the game the timer would start from 0 again. This would make a "month" 9 minutes if a user paused the game in the 4th minute.

I have a table that has two input text fields and above the boxes is a check box. I have created a calculation in VB that only includes the data in the text fields when the check box is ticked. What I want to do now is have the two text fields as un-editable until you tick the check box? or greyed out?

I am creating a point system for a game. What i have right now is that fastest time with highest score gets a higher ranking.
But i can't seem to create this, what i did was to sort the time first from lowest to highest. Then sorted the points from highest to lowest.
Now my problem is, when i display the results. This is what i get.
RANK TIME SCORE
1 0:56 5
2 0:60 4
3 0:37 2

I'm trying to make a macro for a game, so I use long spells in a shorter amount of time. I'm having trouble with a lot of things. For starters I get the when I start the programs timer: "A call to PInvoke function". (I'm calling it a hack, but it's not a hack because it doesn't hook into memory addresses, only sends keys when the correct combo are pressed)

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.
I need some code that will trigger button1 automatically every 1 minute. Is it possible to make in Visual Basic .NET ???

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}
