I currently making a "Snake" game in VB2010. I am using picture boxes to create the snake. The snake moves fine and it picks up the apples fine. But when I turn the snake Left or Up it only displays the first 5 segments of the snake. When the snake travels Right or Down it displays the entire snake. I am completely stumped on what is h...
I am going to be re-creating a game engine I created awhile back. This time I want to do it right, so I did some research into design patterns and tried to put pieces together to accomplish my goal. The idea of the game engine is simplicity, but at the same time I don't want to sacrifice usability. Here is a blueprint of what I am think...
Options: 1) When there is bad input, the app crashes and prints a message to the console saying what happened 2) When there is bad input, the app throws away the input and continues on as if nothing happened (though nothing the problem in a separate log file). While 2 may seem like the obvious solution, the app is an engine and framew...

Hello, I am trying to write a program in Java that takes a random number from 1-1000 and then as the guess it the background color changes to blue(cold) or red(warm) if they are in the number. I am new to java GUI, but I think the rest of the logic is right, not sure. It compiles, but the guess button doesn't work. Any guidance will be a...
Hello guys, currently I'm developing a simple game which uses physics engine (Farseer for XNA). I would like to ask how can I make the character so that he can walking on the ground, jumping on platform without rotating itself. Because I need to update the body position and rotation, because it is a physics object so it will response l...
Hello, I need to create an up vector for when the camera looks at any angle (except directly down or up because the up vector would be perpendicular to the y-axis). The up vector has to be perpendicular to the line of sight of-course. When the line of sight isn't along the y-axis, you can imagine a circle around the eye and the line of ...
Hey, I was wondering if I could make the header on my page (http://marioplanet.com/images/logo/logo.png) interactive by having a little mini-game of sorts occur upon clicking on a part of the image. It would have Mario, only Mario, on top of the text, making the rest of the characters vanish upon the start of the "mini-game". Then, the...

So I have this idea that I've had since I started programming. I wanted to do it justice and finish it when I knew what I was doing. It would be a web game. Static graphics, HTML CSS and Php (no Javascript though). This would be my first web developing endeavor but thats not the point of this. Instead of blindly running into the game I...
I'm wrangling with issues regarding how character equipment and attributes are stored within my game. My characters and equippable items have 22 different total attributes (HP, MP, ATP, DFP). A character has their base-statistics and can equip up to four items at one time. For example: BASE ATP: 55 WEAPON ATP: 45 ARMOR1 ATP: -10...

HTML5 will be widely adopted as a way to design games, is the prediction. But I have my questions about this: how can an online HTML5 game ever be secure? Let me give you an example: imagine this platform game where you gain badges when you win, for example, an extremely hard level. When you have actually won this badge, a request is ma...
For example in Peggle or Apple Jack, the user can move around a curve showing where the ball (or the washing machine / panda or whatever) is about to go before the user has requested that the projectile is launched. I know i need to use an equation to plot the points but I'm no mathematician (anymore :(). Can anybody be so kind as to p...
The most basic way of representing a quadrile plane (a bunch of squares) is to use a two-dimensional array. In C# we declare this as int[,] and can make our plane as big as we want: string[3,3] => tic-tac-toe board (or similar) string[8,8] => chess or checkers board To "move" an item on the plane, we would just asign it toa new "posi...
I'd like to throw together a small game and put it online. It would be multiplayer (ideally it would be MMO, but it's a side project, so I'll settle for MO hehe), the content is rather unimportant. I'm planning on writing the game (server and client) in Java. I'm considering options I have for getting information around reliably. Will J...
I'm having troubles wrapping my head around how to organize the classes within my RPG project that I'm making. I've tried to implement a battle system but I am not comfortable with my initial results. This is the basic layout I currently have for my classes. clsCharacter > clsTeam > clsBattle clsCharacter contains statistics pertai...
