I want to have an animated background for my games logon screen. However sprite sheets only support an image size of 2048x2048. So my question is sense the background is 640,480. Would it be logical to use a video as the background and draw GUI components over the drawn video frame?
View 4 RepliesI'm creating a simple game with my friend that runs in the Terminal/Command Prompt window, but I would like to know how to change the color of the entire window via C++. I'm on a Mac, but my friend is on a Windows, so I need to a solution that is portable, if possible.
I've tried using a printf statement to change the color, but it only changes the background color of the text being printed.
I am working on a 2D side scroller game. Where a ball is moving continuously towards right . I used a camera to follow the ball as soon as ball reaches the center of screen. I created a horizontal line to look like the surface on which the ball is rolling.
line runs from x=0 to x=800 (i.e screen width)
NOTE: (0,0) coordinate is at top left corner of display.
Problem: My display is 800 x 400 . Camera follows the ball, but soon the ball crosses x=800 and starts moving in black background. I want that line surface to stay there instead of going out of bound.
Additionally! I generated obstacles from x=800 which also move out of bound along with my line.
What should be done here? This is just my first c++ game project, so i might be skipping things that can solve the issue.
[Update] these screenshots manage to show, what the real problem is: [URL]
I want to develop a interactive and animated real-time offline map application. For example if user puts mouse on the map, it should the latitude, longitude and name of the location.
There should be animation for example blinking of a location. And it should work offline without internet. I want to use google maps data but I don't know how.
I know following languages:
C/C++ (Advanced level)
PHP (intermediate level)
Java ( beginner level)
Im developing a game where i need 18 animated images to fall into view from the top of the screen with 14 of type A visible and 4 of type B. I then need to be able to drag these items off screen or into a basket at the bottom of the screen.
My current issues are:
I cant seem to drag the images off screen or to the basket when they are animated.I cant make the images fall randomly with delay between them.I was able to make the 18 appear, but not as listed above in the description with 14 of type A and 4 of type B.
I'm still at the very beginning of learning WPF and there are still countless things i don't fully understand. For instance, as I can see in my WPF project, there isn't an event that would fire when the Background property of some control is changed. Or am I just missing it? If i'm not blind after all, and it really doesn't exist, is there any way i could get notified when the Background color of some control is changed?
View 5 Replies View RelatedOkay, I have a form and I have a tab control thing. On the second tab, I have a button which is supposed to turn the background green.
So, I have this:
#pragma endregion
private: System::Void greenButton_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) {
this ->BackColor = System::Drawing::Color::Green;
But clearly that just turns the FORMS background green. How can I change the TAB background to green.

I'm working on my first video game. So far I have a few classes in the game starting with the Game class which includes a list of GameObjects (another class). There are several classes that inherit from GameObjects used to implement things like bullets, explosions, various enemy types, etc.
The game essentially iterates through the list of GameObjects to update/render them. I would like to provide access to the Game's list of GameObjects inside another class (like the Bullet class) so I can put new objects on the list. For example, when a bullet hits, I want to add an explosion to the Game's GameObject list it can be updated/rendered.
How this should be setup? I was considering adding a pointer to the Game or GameObject list to the GameObject class (and methods to access it), but I was wondering if there is a better way to set this up?
I would like to make a program for calculating the total price of a game station, and a game. I made a program like this for just the price of a game in class, but I want to make one that does the game system as well.

Here is what I did,
Code:
oldHook = ::SetWindowsHookEx(WH_CALLWNDPROCRET, CallWndRetProc, NULL, ::GetCurrentThreadId());
MessageBox(...);
UnhookWindowsHookEx(oldHook);
Then within the callback function CallWndRetProc, I tried to change the background color of the dialog,
Code:
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
HDC hdc = BeginPaint(msg->hwnd, &ps);
::SetBkColor(hdc, RGB(255, 0, 0));
EndPaint(msg->hwnd, &ps);
But it doesn't change the background color of the dialog. I wonder what is the right way to do that?
ON_WM_CTLCOLOR(...) works for all the other controls but not the tab control.

this.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Stretch;
// where _8_8008_by_amplifier404 is name of the image located in resources
It only changes background in form which has those buttons as long the form is used. Once I go back to form1 it's changed to null. How to set background in all forms with a button click which will be there until another button with an image is clicked.

It just seems to me theres a lot of conflicting information about if this is even possible to do on Windows and when I do try work around functions or calling double drand(void) I get a ton of errors. I'm hesitant to try rand() or something less precise. I was hoping maybe someone would be able to maybe suggest a compiler which will run this or a different library, right now I'm using Code Blocks IDE.
