So I had to get a new hard drive for my laptop and when I installed visual studios 2022 I noticed that Data Sources was missing everything. I took a screen shot to perhaps explain it better to you guys. I've tried looking online how to restore it and can't find how to restore it. Can someone help me?
I found what the problem was in the program. I put an incorrect path to the songs and once I corrected that mistake it worked like a charm.
Can you give me some examples or a link? I am using visual studio on a windows computer.
When I run it on visual studio it runs but music doesn't play. I don't get any error messages. When I use the same program on my other laptop without the windows update it runs perfectly and plays music.
My program worked earlier this year before Windows 10 put and update and suddenly it doesn't work anymore. I have a separate laptop that didn't get the update and it works perfectly. Can someone please tell me what I need to do to get it to work? Ive tried everything I could think of and nothing works.
string[] music = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\Users\Robert\Documents\C# stuff\Skynet\Skynet\bin\Debug\Music file", "*.mp3");// this is the original path
WMPLib.IWMPPlaylist Classicalplaylist = mplayer.playlistCollection.newPlaylist("classicalplaylist");
foreach (string file in music)
{
WMPLib.IWMPMedia media = mplayer.newMedia(file);
Classicalplaylist.appendItem(media);
}
mplayer.currentPlaylist = Classicalplaylist;I finished my course C# on Cloud Academy and thought this would be an easy project to do. I looked online and couldn't find anything remotely as a suggestion to help me. Would you please help me? I really wanted to get it done before her birthday.
That was my latest attempt to make a background music player for the game. My plan is to have 3 levels for the game and each level will play a song. I have tried previously to use a stopwatch, a for loop but neither worked. I thought maybe this last idea would work.
This is the whole code up to now. I haven't continued further because I wanted to get the music part and the 3 levels to work. I created a player class for Snoopy that controls the speed he flies in the game.

My plan was to have a song play over and over till the player collects n number of Woodstocks, then it will switch to a mini intermission which will be Snoopy dancing and then after that short dance, the next level will start. In total there will be 3 levels and each level will play a different song. I haven't gotten to that point (Snoopy dancing) because I wanted to get the levels working then move to the next part.
void GameMusic()
{
//The player has 5 min to catch as many Woodstocks as they can
//level 1 will play the Peanuts theme
//level 2 will play the song Snoopy
//level 3 will play flash beagle

}Working on a game for a friends daughter for her 6th birthday. Its a scrolling game where the player will be Snoopy and they'll be flying around on his doghouse collecting Woodstock (Which are flying around the screen) for each level (There will be 4 levels). At the end of each level, the game will have an intermission and show a 10sec video of Snoopy dancing. The background will play the Peanuts theme song. Ive figured out everything except how to make levels for the game. I've tried using a timer but that didn't seem to work very well. Everytime Ive tried to include the block of code I've written the screen doesn't add it and returns back to step one of asking a question on this forum.
Making a scrolling space shooting video game in C# where the player will fight one on one with their opponent. I was able to figure out how to make the missile go up if the opponent was above the player. But, I can't seem to make it work if the opponent is below or right infront of the player. Can someone help me? I know the answer is right under my nose.
The function below handles the movement of the missile
void movemissile()
{
foreach (Control y in this.Controls)
{
if (y is PictureBox && y.Tag == "missile")
{
//y.Left += 100;//x.Top -= 10;
if (y.Left > enemy.Left)//<100
{
y.Left += 10;
//this.Controls.Remove(y);
}
//plyer missile goes up if opponent is above
if (y.Top > enemy.Top)
{
y.Left += 10;
y.Top -= 20;
y.Left += 10;
//this.Controls.Remove(y);
}
y.Left += 100;//x.Top -= 10;
if (y.Top > enemy.Left)//<100
{
this.Controls.Remove(y);
}
}
}
}
This function handles drawing the missile of the player for the game.
void Missile()
{
PictureBox m = new PictureBox();
m.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize;
m.Image = Properties.Resources.Missile1;
m.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;
m.Tag = "missile";
m.Left = Player.Left + 100;//moves bullet left or right
m.Top = Player.Top + 55;//55 is perfect
this.Controls.Add(m);
m.BringToFront();
}Disregard my previous post. I figured it out after staying up all night.
I kind of figured out how to put a pause in my 2d game when the player shoots. The problem is that when the player shoots once, the game will continue to shoot continously, even after the player has stopped shooting. Can someone please help me?

Working on a game and I made a separate class to handle the players enemies (Its a scrolling type 90s game). I know if I use picturebox and put it on form1 I can say for example....
enemy1.Left > 90;
My question is how would I do something like that with bitmap? I figured out how to put the image on form1, but I can't figure out how to make it move.
Would someone explain to me how to use bitmap. I have a video game I am working on so I added images using resourcesrx and wanted to use bitmap to display where they will appear on form1. I saved the image as player.
Made progress on my game and now I need to make the second boss bounce up and down. I figured out how to make the boss go down, but once it touches the lower wall, it stops and won't bounce (move up).

}I did what you suggested and honestly I just don't see it. I broke that function down to the basics, took out the extra features and only left the code which shows the boss blowing up and after the player defeats the boss, the player is frozen in place. I checked my entire code ine per line and didn't see anywhere that the game timer was stoped.
I did what you suggested and tried to do the same thing I have for next level that I have on new game and it still doesn't work. Do you have any other ideas? I'm really stuck
Sorry, I thought you needed the whole code. Ok Ill break it down to show what part I'm stuck on in the program.

I wanted to make the boss appear after 5 min of game play and have the smaller opponents disappear. The boss was going to bounce around the screen like a Windows screen saver till the player destroys it (I know how to do that part since I made a pyame do that). The problem is that I can't figure out how to make the boss disappear till the 5min mark and then reappear.

I am trying to make a scrolling type video game and I figured out how to animate the missile and have it moe forward but I can't figure out how to make it a homing missile. There will be 7 enemies in the game and I was going to have a random choose which enemy it will seek out. Which I figured out for the game. So far, I only put 3 enemies because I wanted to start small, figure it out and then add enemies once I figure out how to make the homing missing work. As you can see its far from complete.
This is a snippet of the program I am working on.

Random enemy = new Random();

ene = enemy.Next(1, 5);
foreach (Control y in this.Controls)

It stops right when I try and make it go to the submenu of the game.

Before you make any game using python or any programming language you need to first map out the game, how you want to make it look, the characters and the fight scenes. From there making an oop game with class should be easy.
I looked over my program and searched online to see what you meant by remove the test from run(). Forgive my silly question but I am still learning python, but what did you mean by that?.
I followed your advice, took a step back and realised I was making my program too complicated. I simplified it and now I have a new problem. When the options appear on the screen, anytime I select an option other than 'exit', it will dislay the choice and then any other letter, number, action will cause the program to scroll and not do anything. The only time it works is when I select 'exit'. This is what I have so far.

I know many people try and make their program look fancy, so I tried to make it simpler and I figure the easier it is to read the easier it is to maneuver around it to correct or add things to it.

This is what I have so far. I now get the following error messages.

Zed wants us to make a game and I understand how oop works and how to make the game he wants me to create, but I can't figure out how he loops it from one class to another. SO I figured I'd take a step back and try and make my own looping oop menu similar to the one I made with functions so I could figure out how to do it. Ive seen different programmers use different ways to make it loop using a method and calling it 'run' or 'play'.
Sorry it took so long to get back, I've been busy. I kept it re did the whole program and kept it simple. I didn't want to bite off too much before I figured how to make the oop program loop and I figure once I get the program to loop I can work on making it menu driven program. I can run it and it doesn't show any error messages, I've scoured the Internet for samples of other programmers work and they all have different ways to do it, but I can't find any tutorial on how they did it or why they chose that way to do it. Below is my program.

I've tried to copy what other programmers have used to make their oop program work , but I can't seem to make mine work and I don't even know if I'm doing it correctly. Ive seen different programmers online use different methods to make it work, but I cant find a tutorial anywhere explaining how they came to that conclusion or samples of how to make it work. Would you be able to explain it to me using the program Ive been working on here in this website and please explain to me why you did that particular piece of code step by step?.

I get more or less how you did it, but I wanted to make it entirely using oop. I remade the program using just oop but when I try and run it I keep getting the following error message.

I learn better through playing around with what I've learned after I finished a lesson.
