Hello all, today I have another quick tut on a very very basic mini game in C#, requires only 3 picture boxes and about 30 lines of written code ,the notes in the code should pretty well cover it , but as always feel free to ask questions or give suggestions on alternate methods etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja9RmmsZIp8 example image /************begallegal1 @ XPGamesaves.com**************/ using System; using System.Drawing; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace Shootz { public partial class Form1 : Form { //a random number for our enemy location later, Random rnd = new Random(); //and our player score variable int score = 0; public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { //add the scoreboard to our forms text this.Text = "Shootz....Score: " + score.ToString(); } private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { //lock our players Y axis location var Y = 500; //create variable for player X axis location var X = player.Location.X; //if left arrow key is pressed if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Left) { //and player is within the forms bounds if (player.Location.X <= 530 && player.Location.X >= 10) { //move player 10 to the left player.Location = new Point(X - 10, Y); }else{//if above cannot be met //this is our way of looping the player //to the other side of the form player.Location = new Point(530, Y); } } //if right arrow key is pressed if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Right) { //and player is within the forms bounds if (player.Location.X <= 530 && player.Location.X >= 10) { //move player 10 to the right player.Location = new Point(X + 10, Y); }else{//if above cannot be met //this is our way of looping the player //to the other side of the form player.Location = new Point(10, Y); } } //if spacebar is pressed if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Space) { //give our "shot" picture a new location in front of our player shot.Location = new Point(player.Location.X + 15, 460); //show "shot" picture shot.Visible = true; //start timer to move shot on screen shotMove.Start(); } } private void shotMove_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { //create a new location for our "shot" in front of the player //and -10 from last timer tick shot.Location = new Point(player.Location.X + 15, shot.Location.Y - 10); //check for collision using method below CheckCollision(); } public void CheckCollision() { //if our shot collides with our enemy if (shot.Bounds.IntersectsWith(enemy.Bounds)) { //hide both shot and enemy enemy.Visible = false; shot.Visible = false; //stop shot movement timer shotMove.Stop(); //add 1 to our score and update the text to reflect current score score++; this.Text = "Shootz....Score: " + score.ToString(); //set a new enemy position in a random location and un-hide it enemy.Location = new Point(rnd.Next(10,530),rnd.Next(20,100)); enemy.Visible = true; } } } } So we created a player, a weapon, and an enemy, we gave them controls, we made a basic collision detection system, and we made a scoreboard. Of course this is the absolute most basic way of handling these things and has little purpose in the real world, but all these concepts are the building blocks of nearly every game ever made see you all next time, enjoy :begal:
