Guest ChrisJM Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Hi! I have just started coding a Pong game using .net, its not much yet! im only just learning .net! It hasn't even got a ball yet! all it has is a bar at the bottom which you can move left and right and i have made it full screen. The left soft key is to quit... I will keep you upto date! please post comments, i will have an alpha (which will have a bakk!) within a week :D Heres a screenshot:screenie.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Richie M Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 ChrisJM, if you remember thats basically how my Pong came about - muff and Croccy22 challenged me to make it :D the best way to learn is to try things (and remember manuals/documents and Google are your friends ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ultimasnake Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Hey chris good luck, if i can give you some advise (not sure if you know this) but don't use objects like images to do the real graphics try making a backbuffer... assuming you are coding in vb.net (damn can't find any good vb.net code with backbuffers on my computer) well here is a plain C# example then (it's loads and loads faster then vb.net, i tell that from experience with both languages) private Bitmap gamearea = null; private Graphics gamedraw = null; private Bitmap backBuffer = null ; private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { gamearea = new Bitmap(156,169); gamedraw = Graphics.FromImage(gamearea); } private void frmgame_Paint(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e) { if(backBuffer==null) { backBuffer=new Bitmap(this.ClientSize.Width,this.ClientSize.Height); } using ( Graphics g=Graphics.FromImage(backBuffer) ) { g.Clear(System.Drawing.Color.Silver); gamedraw.DrawImage(raster.Image,0,0); e.Graphics.DrawImage(backBuffer,0,0); } } i think that is it :roll: if you have ANY questions don't be afraid to ask me :) (think pm will be most proper or IM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
