    VB6: Range - By FlamingFox [Exe + Source]

    Hello,

    This is my first game in vb6. I fairly new to vb so suggestions and corrections will be appreciated.
    _________________________

    Game Description

    Just a shooting range, doesn't take much skill.

    My high score is 110

    __________________________

    It's nothing spectacular, so don't get your hopes up.

    Please post your thoughts.

    Thanks,

    The FlamingFox

    Nice game =) I got 115. Only problem I noticed was sometimes the shooting didn't register (yea i still had bullets)

    But other than that, good

    Good game, great fun to play on a laptop with a touchpad . I am impressed by the collision detection.

    I managed to get an awesome score of 50!

    I have no problem clicking on it. Do you mean the button to exit the program?

    I really like this game. The only problem is eveytime i take a shot my mouse cursor appears off the game and in the top left hand cornerish part of my screen. Could just be me mind you.

    Well Done

    It's actually meant to do that. It makes the game more difficult

    Thanks for your positive comments!

    If you want to make it really interesting, add moving targets

    Ok, I added Moving Targets!

    To Close the game right click on the program in the toolbar and hit close.

    Hope you enjoy the New Challenge.

    Please Post Comments

    P.S

    Its best played if you have no other apps in the back of my Game.

    Nice game. One suggestion though. Rather than always move the cursor to the top left of screen, why not make it randomly appear somewhere on the screen?

    Resurrecting my old project here

    I've add some cool updates:

    Machine gun with burst ability. Tap the "X" to toggle burst.
    Change the Range type to person target. Like police target.
    Added accuracy count.
    Added Recoil.

    Check it out and give me some feedback.
