Recreating Mario A Side Scroller Game - Make Mario Jump Through The Use Of A Timer
Mar 23, 2010
Im recreating mario a side scroller game for college. im tryin to make mario jump through the use of a timer i want to be able to still move direction when jumping. so basically when i hit space bar i want point y to - 1 until it gets to 12 and then for it to go back down again. i havnt even got this far yet as when i was testin this theory the timer freezes if the arrows are held in. at the moment im only getting the timer to beep once it has reached 10.
I have a very basic tiling engine that was made from a YouTube tutorial for making an top down RPG style game and I am trying to adapt it to a platformer game. The code is fairly simple but not being a physics guy I am looking for adding a Mario style jump to the program. I know there will most likely need to be some additional variables added to it such as gravity and velocity. That said I am not sure where to get started, below is the meet and potatoes so to speak of the program.
Code: ' VIEW PORT Dim ResWidth As Integer = 750 Dim ResHeight As Integer = 550 Dim TileSize As Integer = 32 ' GRAPHICS VARIABLES [Code] ......
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 often think of classes and modules as "global" variables or variables you can use any where in your solution/project. can you make global timers? I basicly want to make a farming like game but the plants will grow based on a timer. So if the player closes that form the timer needs to still tick. So can I make global timers so the timer would not have to start over if the form is closed and reopened?
Im creating a space invaders game that has a group of "invaders" moving side to side and when i shoot one it gets destroyed, my invaders are in an array. So in order for the invaders to keep moving right until they get to the edge, i made a function that detects which invader is right most. But this was crudly done as I wa trying to make the opposite of my left most function which works. So my rightmost function dosent work
i am currently making a maths game but i have run in to trouble trying to do the addition and subtraction side of the game. This is my current class file for my multiplication
Public Class Class2 Private Property question_gameplay_label As String Private Property correctAnswer As Integer
I have several text boxes, and they are all set to maxLenght=2. They are used to enter data on runtime. How can I make pointer/focus to jump to the next text box as soon as I enter 2nd character, without pressing tab button ?
I am trying to make bounds for a character that can jump. I have made the character graphic into a rectangle and I have a square block in the game that the character must jump onto and I have set that as a rectangle.
How would I make it so when the character jumps onto the square block, he stays up there and then when he jumps down, and touches the ground, he stays on the ground. My current jump code is standardized; it does not detect changes in the Y-coordinate. What I have done in the jump for the character is I have made it so the Y-coordinate is increased by a certain amount and decreased by the same amount so the difference is equal to 0.
How can I make the icon of my program to be shown in the buttom of my screen on the right side, where icons of programs that are running are usually shown? And How can I make a "Bubble" jump from this icon with a messege?
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.
My problem is the image. i have a picture of a duck and a blue square round it. and i would liketo make it transparant because birds dont fly with blue squares.
Below is an image to illistrate my problem
I have tried adding transparent background, transparant key etc
I'm doing a project for school. I'm trying to make a game similar to the Impossible game. I need a square (picturebox) to jump but I want gravity to effect it.
I am looking to insert a timer on my game so I only have to press the Start button once and the game will continue until a winner is decided. At the moment as there is no timer the loop is not controlled and the game ends instantaneously. I'm looking to have a timer value of half a second so the game lasts approximately 20-30 seconds
I have databinding in an ASP.Net application to a GridView. This gridview is bound to an ObjectDataSource as per standard usage.
The problem I have is that one of my bound fields uses the property DataFormatString="{0:C}" and due to the currency format being displayed when an update is attempted and the object recreated I get a error as such "$13.00 is not a valid value for Decimal."
Clearly this is a result of the column using a FormatString and then attempting to bind it back to a decimal property I have in my object called UnitPrice.
I am assuming there is some markup I can set that can specify how the value is translated back?
For anyone curious the solution ended up looking like this...
How can I recreate windows explorer in my form? I would like my program to start with an explorer like window that you can navigate threw folders. Also I would like for the location of the folder that is being viewed in a text box. Like a navigation bar. Where should I start?
This is contained in a timer event that shows how much it would cost the player to purchase all of the items. This works as intended, until the text box is blank. Each "section" draws information from one of 16 text boxes. My question is this: Is it possible to have each text box to have a "default" number that gets put into a text box when it is empty. This is needed to be done for all of the text boxes, so either a loop or a non specific code slice would be preferred.
i am try to create a game when i move a picture box around my form with a timer control i almost done every thing but the problem is avoiding the flikkering effect ?is there any way to avoid it?
my function is to adjust a timer interval according to a integer variable.
Original code (works fine):
Code: Dim UpdateSnakeSpeed Select Case UpdateSnakeSpeed Case currentscore > 199
[Code]....
This is the code I'm using right now. (works fine and is more logically correct than the above case statement. I have chosen to go with if .. end if statements over case, as I do not have a full understanding of what the variable SnakeUpdatespeed is doing in the Select case statement. If someone explains then I'll consider it. Also I know case statments are only meant to be used for 1 option selections, however I'm amazed that it still works in case. Atm it's going to be if end if. Now I'm trying to get the for next loop going with this (if it's logically possible). that's what i'm aiming overall out of this thread. To make a convenient loop.
For some reason I can't get this to work, even though it's very simple.

When I change the label1.text to "qsfqsdfqsfqsdfqsfqsdfqsfqsdf" everything works fine and it scrolls character per character. But when I change the label1.text to "qsfqsdf qsfqsdf qsfqsdf qsfqsdf" my simple scroller scrolls word per word. I know it must be something really small, but I can't figure it out.
I already created a button "enjoy button" that i want to move in a form when the "timer start button" is clicked.how do link the timer to the"timer start button" and make it move? this is what i tried so far..then am blank first

My problem is that I have two pictures once the first has scrolled to the left with the last bit of the image on the right side of the form I need the next image to start moving from the right, then when the first image is completely of the screen it moves back to the right side of the screen and waits for the end of the second image and then the process repeats.Here is the code I put together so far.
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick If picBackGround.Left + picBackGround.Width < Me.Width Then
[code].....
This code does not do what I want it bugs up for some reason if you can change this code or give me entirely differen
I'm trying to make a simple appbar on the right side of the screen. I have accomplished this many times before.. but I can't seem to get it working in Windows 7. The placement seems right, and as far as I can tell the messages seem to be in the right order. I have tried both Windows.Forms. Form BorderStyle.None as well as Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedToolWindow. [code]

I know this defeats the purpose of client side vs. server side (refer to title of this thread). What I would love to do is build my own custom progress indicator on the client showing how far a server side code has progressed. I figure if I could only get a JavaScript to fire and render a value of some control at pre-defined intervals while the server is working I could make it happen - but alas I'm beginning to believe that this is impossible. Below is some code that performs three 2 sec loops. At the end of each I want to change the visible value of a control on the browser. [Code]
I have a basic asp.net web page. I have a menu bar divided into 3 columns. Each column displays an xml file. However instead of showing them side by side it displays them one on top of each other. i think it might be to do with my css?
My asp.net web code: <div class="menubar"> <div class="menuleft">
