Some Form and Module help required please! :)

Hey,
I really need help on how to do some form programming in visual basic 6.0. I'm trying to design an adventure game and came to the conclusion that some things that I wished to be added to the project I have no idea how to do.

Firstly,
"How do you make a form that can scroll automatically when you move your person around?" (The game is from top view)

Secondly,
"How do you make your person move in a curved motion in stead of the basic up, down, left and right? I mean, if you held the left button, your person would keep going around an anticlockwise direction."

Laslty,
"When your person moves, how can you animate it so it looks like it's feet are moving?"

I hope you can answer htese question cuz i really need you good advice and help here... thanx...

Numbers 1 and 3...doing that with VB forms and objects alone may be difficult...you *might* want to look into DirectDraw and how it's controlled in VB

Number 2...I'm sure there's a way to do it mathematically, and it's on the edge of my mind just waiting to be found out...but I'm pretty tired right now. I'll think on it and get back to you, okay? :)

Epsilon, you should really be asking this in the games + graphics forum.
But check out this page anyway : http://members.fortunecity.com/plenderj

Scroll to the right and grab the game called craft.
You can rip what you want.

Hum, yes, Plenderj's demo may be good for the movement, but other than that it's a bit hard for someone who's doing a simple game with controls :)

First of all, how do you want the background to look like? Do you want to use a green background with some objects like trees and bushes around the map that are just image controls? That would be the easier way to scroll I think. If you wanna use another method, it's gonna be harder, if you're using controls. Just tell me which method you wanna use.

Hey Plenderj, there's something I noticed in your Craft game... when you start flying up... it continues moving up forever and that's annoying :)

A good way to avoid this would be to decrease the player's speed a bit every frame. Try it, it'll be much easier to control ;)

What does what ?

Good idea.
It'll be a pain in the ass for all the angles between up, down, left and right, but I think its a good idea none the less.
