asking.......

i might be making a gome for a project (a simple one) where two playrs are racing. i want, every time a playe presses a specified button, the car will speed up.

question: to make it go faster would i just make the timer interval increase by a number every time a button is prssed? and oppisite to slow down?

if you have any other ideas, please let me know!
thanx

Definately not.. increase an increment variable that you add to an X or Y value every time!

You could have it like this:

VB Code:

Dim Speed As Long
 
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    'Move the car according to the speed
    picCar.Top = picCar.Top - Speed
 
    'Decrease the speed a bit over time...
    Speed = Speed - 1
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
    Speed = Speed + 5
End Sub

That should work ;)
