Hello,

Because of everything going on at home with construction work and stuff I havent had much time to code in the last couple of weeks so until I get my "mojo" back ive decided to work on something fun so im going to try to make a game of some description in VB.

Im not sure of what form the game will be in yet but im a big fan of the old typing games where you type instructions to progress through the game and point & click type games so it maybe in that kindof style lol.

At the moment its just an idea in my head and I will start later today and see what my brain forces out :lol:

Should be fun cooll;

Hello,

Originally I was going to go for a simple point & click type game (and I still may) but for now ive gone for a simple character movement that you control with the keyboard arrow keys. The character is just a moveable picturebox and the background/level/word or whatever you want to call it uses a basic tile type system and so far I have character movement...stop blocks the prevent the "character" from walking into solid objects and I have a sort of overlay system going that puts trees and other objects over the character so it looks sortof 3D ish..like your usual RPG style games lol. Im not going overboard with GDI or directx or anything with this its just pictureboxes and graphics. I still dont know what im doing yet :lol:

Looking good CodenStuff Next, add enemies and walking animation. Those would basically make it fun!

[CodenStuff]

Well I havent done animation yet but im sure I will/could do some how..im not using GDI or DirectX which is really needed for animation and that kindof stuff. The way im doing it is just quick/easy and extremely simple using pictureboxes and its working quite well actually and a VERY small amount of code.

Ive even made a seperate level editor which again has been quite simple and easy to do...I think when ive done the basics ill put up the source-code so you can all have a look and maybe even use it yourself.

Heres a screenshot of the level editor so far and it works great:
