I have the task to make 2 or 3 simple games, probably some shot them up game
(space invaders or so) and a poker game. For this I need to move things
around very quickly on the screen. So that is my question..
What is the easiest way to achieve fast animations in vb.net? I know I can
write it myself but is there a ready package or control to buy? What do
other people use? 2 1415

I would think DirectX would be the most appropriate thing to use and
there is an SDK for .Net. http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx
I know it's not visual basic but you might have a look at Microsoft's
XNA. It's based on C# so you just have to learn the C# syntax, your
namespaces et al will still be the same.
Here's the link to XNA's homepage: http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/XNA/default.aspx
And here's a great link that I used when I started using C#: http://www.harding.edu/USER/fmccown/...omparison.html
Thanks,

I've got two GIF files named "Tigger.gif" and "Angry_barbarian.gif"
that contain animations that I want to display on a web page. I've
written the following XHTML code which works for a fraction of a sec-
ond but no more. That is, the animations run for a very short period
of time and then stop. My guess is that they're running through their
short animated period and then stopping. How can I display animations
like this that keep...

I'm making a game. I need to maintain a bunch of objects, in this
case animations (explosions and stuff). I've decided to use an STL
vector. From my understanding, I need to declare it as
vector<Animation*so that I can insert new animations with something
like myAnimations.push_back(new Animation(...)); So that's all fine
and dandy, but what I can't decide on is how to delete this animation
after it's done playing (the explosion should...

Overview:
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,...
