Hi ,
i was just wondering if it is possible to create a mini game in
vb.net say for example like space invaders with a spacecraft coming across
the top of the screen in a web form dropping bombs no fancy graphics....
with you controlling your spacecraft/tank ( a line ) at the bottom just
trying to avoid them :) if anyone knows if its possible and could help me
would be much appreciated

Yes it is possible to make a mini game in VB.net using GDI+
I've created a very elaborate 8 way scrolling shoot em up game with parallax
scrolling.
I've designed it to actually design multiple types of games, in essence a
game creator. I've created a tiling engine that can be used to create Super
Mario, Sonic the Headgehog, or even a complex shoot em up games.
You'll need to learn how to do some collision detection too. That was the
hardest thing for me to do in .net, but I was able to make it work quite well.
It runs really fast as well. Just remember to do double buffering on the
vertical blanks to get rid of flickering...
good luck dude!

How does one get in sync with the vertical blanking cycle?

Comrades,
During our current discussion of the fate of functional constructs in
python, someone brought up Guido's bull on the matter:
http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=98196
He says he's going to dispose of map, filter, reduce and lambda. He's
going to give us product, any and all, though, which is nice of him.

Hi,
I'm in the middle of "teaching" myself C++. Having skimmed some of
the "Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days" book, I got a feel for the
language, at least. Then I bought "The C++ Programming Language"
because it was on offer, and I'd have ended up buying it at some stage
anyway.
Skimmed some of that, but there's too much detail (for now) and I
know I won't take it in if I don't get some practice in actually
*writing* programs in C++. I'm...

Hi,
I am looking for a class or any information which would allow me to
make communicate mini-module in c++. I have been looking
on the net for some examples of such implementation, but I did not
find any good one. This is why I am asking here if some
of you know where to find some information on the internet about such
implementation.

Hello.
The last weeks I've been coding a roguelike (you know, like nethack) in
python using the nCurses library. Some week ago I ran into a problem:
When I made the object for messagebar-output, I found a bug that I
can't figure out (believe me; I've tried everything and asked for help
several times on the IRC-channel).
The updateMsg() and iMsg() takes a list of message-lines as argument
(or process a string to a list), and it'll output...

Hi, I just wrote a mini C# lab for myself, I think it may be useful for
others, so I shared it on my blog.
If you often need to write only serveral lines of code and don't want to
waste time on waiting for Visual Studio startup, maybe you will be interested
in it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
