Programming Question

[Walter100]

Iam creating a space ship like game in visual basics and I have a line on the bottom of the form where after the user dodges the blocks that once the blocks hits the line the block disappear if anyone has a code please let me know. Please check out my site at http://www.geocities.com/striver2000t/enterprise.html

Are you using controls or bitblt in your game?

I hope you're using an array for enemy fire or obstacles or whatever you have moving past this line

Private Type EnemyFire
     x As Integer
     y As Integer
End Type
Dim EnemyFireArray(9) As EnemyFire

With EnemyFireArray(I)
For I = 0 To 9
     .y = .y + 5 'moves the gunshots down the screen
     If .y > Line1.y Then 'the gunshots are below the line
          .y = -20 'above the top of the screen
          .x = Int(Rnd * 100) 'random positioning for gunshots
     End If
Next I
End With

If the block hits the line just stop drawing it !?

Well, I dont know. It depends on your program :\ If you want the blocks to continously move past the ship, then when it reaches the line, you just change the position that you are painting it at to the top of the screen so it will then scroll down again and again in a continuous loop

If you're using controls, it's simple

If Block.Top > Form1.Height Then Unload Block
