OK: never mind; I figured it out, fianlly. Thanks for helping, though. The problem was that the Y value kept checking after a certain limit was supposed to be. I added 1 line and it was fixed. - I love D-flat! - Need. More. Code. modified on Monday, March 17, 2008 7:07 PM

XNA just adds certain specific things easier for beginners. (Game loop, draw loop, simpler things) It could help, and I might have seen it a long time ago... so maybe not... Btw: I switched the design to tiles.... I've almost got it but ONE part doesn't work. What exactly is the algorithm for collision. I set it up to find if the velocity.X / Y is smaller / bigger (based on input) and from there updated certain parts for positions, but it doesn't seem to work right. (The player ends up on top of the platform as they fall....) - I love D-flat! - Need. More. Code. modified on Sunday, March 16, 2008 11:39 PM

I see you sorted it. For future reference - or anyone else that comes across this: 1. Close Visual Studio 2. Start, Run... type in regedit and hit OK 3. Open the folders/sub folders in the treeview in reg edit in this order HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft VCSExpress (// VBExpress for VB, VisualStudio for Full VS) 8.0 (// for 2005, 7.0 for 2003, 9.0 for 2008) ProjectMRUList 4. Make sure that ProjectMRUList is selected so the status bar reads in your case: My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VCSExpress\8.0\ProjectMRUList On the right will be a list of string values named File1, File2 etc with values that match the location of your Most Recently Used (MRU) projects e.g. %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Windows Application 1.sln 5. Right click on the value name and select Delete 6. Rename any higher named values so they are sequential File1, File2 etc... if there is one missing in the sequence VS will stop looking beyond the lowest one found. 7. Close regedit and relaunch Visual Studio and the project will no longer be in your list Dave

Typically you'd store your scene data in a quadtree setup which would let you pick out all the StaticBlocks that are relevant to your player (in the same region). Then its fairly trivial to check if two squares will intersect...

Pass the game class over to the child class in the constructor and use the game.Exit() method from there. It's no more complicated than that. You can use the XNA.Framework.Input.Keyboard.GetState(PlayerIndex playerIndex).IsKeyDown(Keys key) method to check for key presses. In future, like someone said above, use the XNA creators forums. They are very good, and have the guys who wrote the framework constantly posting. Mark.

Have you checked the samples over at http://creators.xna.com/default.aspx[^]? They have lots of XNA samples.

public class Game1{ private Input mInput; public Game1(){ mInput = new Input(this); } } public class Input{ private Game1 mGame; public void CheckInput(){ mGame.Exit(); } public Input(Game1 game){ mGame = game; } } Need a C# Consultant?

Glad to hear you figured it out. In future it would be better if you posted your XNA related questions here. You will get much quicker and better answers - mainly because the guys/girls who wrote the XNA framework maintain, and actively contribute to the forum. Cheers, Mark.

So the suspicious things are under my earlier points 1. are slashes valid folder separators on your system? 2. this is a relative path, is curdir what you think it is? :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] This month's tips: - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google; - the quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get; - use PRE tags to preserve formatting when showing multi-line code snippets.

Oh, I know how to draw lines there. That's easy. BUT, in XNA, it's a whole new territory. To your added reply, I've seen that, and tried, but wasn't sure what type the variables were when previously declared (they didn't show it there). Example: points?

Hich scores can be stored whereever you like, the registry, XML, a flat file. It's up to you. Any internet based stuff is going to revolve around a central server that at a minimum acts as a hub to allow players to find each other, even if traffic after that goes direct between the players. To deploy a program, you're better off creating an installer, which also means it can enforce the need for the .NET framework.

Is there anyway to add that to the packge, because I'm pretty sure they don't have anything that I do with resources. *Also, to let people know, I hope to find a true programming class within a year or two, so I can finally get REALLY going. - I love D-flat!

I don't have the membership, soo it's not much use, but they do have some goodies. - I love D-flat!

Oh. Thanks. - I love D-flat!
