okay i tried making a game like snake and a game like phoenix,(phoenix is a game for the calculator) in VB. anyway i made the collision detection for snake and it was buggy so if ya got tips on that i guess throw em in.

but when i did get snake kind of working, after u ate so many targets the snake would go really slow and would look choppy.

this also happened in phoenix if you shot too many lasers.

this made me mad. so i uhh kinda stopped programming for a long while. any tips would be great

also some tips on bitblt and how that works might help

as i started programming i realized that my old way of collision detection doesn't work anymore (for the right side of an object i would make a calculation which was object.left + object.width = object.right but as i check this with vb it doesn't work out right...its about 15 twips off :/ is there any way to make this perfect?)

turn the scalemode to pixels for any container you see on your form, including the form. try it then

thanks noteme. i downloaded yours and basically stole all the code and started making my own game. i made some improvements and im having a great time adding a bunch of stuff to it.
I think i will try and figure out the bitblt myself (with a little help from mark butler )
thanks again
