types

types is an important part of vb programming. it is actually a user-defined datatype. i use vb6 so here's how i do it in vb6

Code:

---

Public Type MyBall
    Radius As Integer
    ColorCode As String
    SpeedX as Integer
    SpeedY as Integer
End Type

---

now that the type has been defined it can be used in the code like:

Code:

---

MyBall.Radius = 20
MyBall.ColorCode = "255,255,255"
MyBall.SpeedX = 15
MyBall.SpeedY = 25

---

do i have to explain the code?

what i did here basically is that i defined my own datatype as MyBall and defined the different parts of the datatype like Radius, ColorCode. i am using string to store ColorCode as i want to use the RGB color combo.

now in the second part of the code, i just put up the variables of the datatype MyBall.
