I need 2 make a game BY TOMORROW. its going to be a dodge the falling objects game. if ANYONE can help me with this, im the screen name PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Problems:
1.) create objects that fall down screen @ different speeds adn start @ random locations.
2.) check if your character hits an object
3.) have 8 different levels... 1st levels= slower falls, less objects, 8th lvl=faster falls, more objects...
4.) create a win screen adn check if your done with the last level.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Change the property named Location of the picturebox you want to move like this :

Me.PictureBox1.Location = New Point(50, 50)

Paste a timer control on your form , set Interval property to 1000 (1 second for example) , then doubleclick on the timer component , you'll get this event handler :

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e 
As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        Me.PictureBox1.Location = New Point(x, y)
    End Sub

This moves the picturebox every 1 second .
