one thing. in SuperMario game, when we are moving, the map is also "moving/changing", do you know how i can do that in visual basic.

i wont make a huge screen xd !!

if anyknow now, please post

[CommittedC0der]

This isn't VB code but I think you'll get it:

While(Mario.Speed >= 1)
background.Location.X -= 1

Something like that. Just check if Mario is moving, and if so, move the background.

hi. my mario game is going very well, so far, taking into account my knowledge of visual basic.
i have many picturebox(s), one is the character and one of the others are the famous yellow coins.

and i'm using the following code;

if Character.Bounds.IntersectsWith(Coin.Bounds) then
label2.text +=10
end if

when the character hits the coin his score increase 10 points. the problem is: while the character is is the position of the coin, even when the coin is invisible, its keep adding points. when the character leaves that position its stops. i'm stressed about this, xD.

any ideas ? ?

thanks

[CommittedC0der]

Thats because you never delete the coin, which I would assume you would want to do right?
Should be something like,

 
if Character.Bounds.IntersectsWith(Coin.Bounds) then
label2.text +=10
pictureBoxCoin.Dispose()
end if

humm. thanks. i didn't knew that we can delete the coin and the didn't knew the "dispose" command .

THANKS.
