I'm going to shoot myself; I'm so fed up with VB

[Seahawks1]

I am a noob. I can barely manage simple Visual Basic (2005 Express). I have to make pong and can't even get the keys to work. On my GUI I have two labels as Paddles and a Ball label. This is so stupid. Why can't I say something so easy as: "when case select "A" then paddle1 goes up"

But nope it has to be hard. Heck, even harder is adding boundries . Please help!!! I have a timer too, which I need, but no idea how to use it.

the problem is that you are attempting to write a relatively difficult program for a noob. An interactive game (no matter how basic) is going to present certain challenges. Have you learnt the basics of programming yet?

It's not VB's fault.

Find an easier program to try and write.

WOW! How do noob's always end up with semi-complicated programs to write. How much time do you have? Do you have any books?

And my cut-to-the-chase question. Do you want answers to questions, or someone else to do the work?

If you want to copy just search the forum and you can probably find the answer.

What exactly do you need help with?

start by sorting them out in your mind, and then list them for me.

Even a visual calculator is hard for a new program, if you can make one of those your one step closer.
