Vb Newbie Needs Some Help Please!

[Gregzz]

Hi,
I'm new to games in Visual Basic and am trying to make a game with colission detection and barriers (so your characters can't go off the screen) and code that will make an object just automatically move across the screen (like a laser or bullet). Anyways, could someone help me out? That'd be so great!
Thanks a lot.

Have you tried anything? If you have, just tell us where you're stuck.

i've made it ( in a small prog) only like this:

If pic1.Left < Then pic1.Left = 0
Else
End If

something like that!! you know!! i stop the pic if it is over my line i.e. over Left=1000 then no stepp

type playertype
x as integer
y as integer
end type

dim player as playertype

if player.x < 0 then player.x = 0 'where 0 is the left edge
if player.x > 1000 then player.x =1000 'where 1000 is right edge

if player.y < 0 then player.y = 0 'where 0 is the top edge
if player.y > 1000 then player.y =1000 'where 1000 is down edge


how you get this messy code

for collision you need to check if the player is between the left edge (player.x) and right edge (player.x + player.width)
