Im New to Game Programing

[E-man07]

Hi,
I have been programing for 2 years and I am getting pretty good. I am trying to make a program that the user fight agents. the user is aoing to be an agent also. I have the car. file being made and I was wondering is there any why to make each of them fight when you get close to eachother?? Is there an easer way. Who can I get the controles for the car. How do I get the randomized background when the user starts. And all the basic stuff that I might need to know.

For the close thing:

You can use trigonometry to figure when they get close.

Distance = sqr(abs(Ux - HimX)^2+abs(Uy+HimY)^2)

Then use an if...then...else for when distance < Z

You can remove the call the abs(), since the square of any number is positive, by nature. Thats also geometry, not trig =)

Z.

Woops lol, it's a bit late .
Anyways, it is to find the length of a side of a triangle using the other sides?? Sounds like trig to me... (similar at least.. using 2 values (3 if you count 90deg...) to get another value)

I was taught it when I was taught trig too, so

Thanks for the help, but how do i get my cariticer to move with the arrow keys? How do I have the cariticers fight if there is a certain key pressed for example Shift+Enter+Z=fight

Lol. You guys are funny.

But you're kidding, right? You can't even spell character right. Lol, sorry, no offense, meant...but uh, I advise looking up the simpler things yourself at a search engine. (These guys are just messin' with ya anyway)

Viel Glück,

I'm not kidding with anyone. I will help everyone that needs some help. And if you are complaining about my spelling, so just do it. I don't care. I know I'm not good in English, but I am trying. So E-man07 just ask questions, I will answer...

[H-Zence]

Lol. No, don't get all offended, I wasn't talking about you. You didn't even have the word character in your reply. So it's not your spelling. I'm "sorry"

[Mushroom Realm]

These are some pretty simple questions though, E-Man, I would suggest learning way more befre you start making a game. There is also no 'car' control (if by car you mean character). Its a picture that gets displayed on the screen. So I guess actually that you could use the PictureBox, or Image controls (or nest an image inside the picturebox, best idea).

My thoughts exactly
