Then I don't fail. It's a good bit of writing. The fact that Jack became an experiment was an ironic twist at the end. Good work.

They're all cool, actually
And I'm looking at visual Basic, and yaeh, I've run into it's slowness issue. I think there are two reason for this: first off, I'm using the windows GDI for my graphics work (IIRC it's insanely slow), so I'm looking into directdraw, and the message pump is supposed to be crappy. Really, other than that I've had no problems with VB6, and I don't believe that it's a poor language.

Wow. I am an idiot, then.

Guess that I shouldn't try to code things like that when I'm tired... Well, it *does* let you make Mario and Luigi have different lives, at least

And... I get it I mixed up BPL and BNE.

In all honesty, I can't find a problem with this. I like the story, and the characters are believable and in line with how they've acted in the games. good job

OBJECTION!

My first attempt at a fighting game used GDI exclusively for it's graphics and was as fast as a greased hedgehog. In my last attempt, I found out that lowering the color depth helped for DirectX.


Then what the hell am I doing to make this program so slow?

And for arrays of constants, you can make a workaround for this somewhat like this:

Dim ConstArray(2) As Long

Private Sub form_Load()
ConstArray(0) = 23459287
ConstArray(1) = 22938478
ConstArray(2) = 7457483
End Sub

I've done that a few times. Twips have something to do with printers and the screen or something, Drag.

So, Kawa, what did you do to get your fighting game going so fast? I'm going to assume you used a loop, right? I mentioned the Message pump because as I understand C++, that's how *any* windows program gets it's messages, and that VB6 compiles the program with a poor setup for that pump |;

I found a random mistake Fu made in LM a while ago when setting up some new graphics for the overworld sea tiles.

FuSoYa mixed up the directions of the top and bottom halves of the ocean tiles. Not big, I know.

... That's what I've been doing, too... but the routine is insanely slow How big are your blits? I'm running a 640 by 480 canvas, 24-bit colour depth, and I'm doing transparent blits like this:

BitBlt Canvas.hdc, 0, 0, 640, 480, UI1m.hdc, 0, 0, vbMergePaint
BitBlt Canvas.hdc, 0, 0, 640, 480, UI1.hdc, 0, 0, vbSrcAnd

Since I'm getting a fair bit of slowdown, I'm looking through some of my other routines, as I think that a couple other parts of this form are causing a good part of the problem... I know at least one thing that's likely a problem right now

Using a DIB section, then after everything is done, blitting from the DIB canvas to a picturebox.

EDIT: Went through, and still can't figure out any possible cause of the slowdown other than that paint routine :/ I'm just going to look at using DirectX 8 for this and see about perhaps using Direct3D or DirectDraw, and switching to DirectInput and DirectMusic for the other parts of the program

The fact that this computer doesn't have VB6 is

On another note, yay notepad. And this is a game I'm working on, incidentally.

Is it faster than DirectX?

I'm using DirectInput now to get input from the keyboard ,instead of Form_KeyDown and Form_KeyUp. Direct3D made it look like crap, so I'm still using Bitblt, as DirectX8 doesn't seem to have DirectDraw from what I could see :/

And speeding up the program a bit by changing little things, but I really need to figure out a better way to do graphics, those are definitely the slow spot in Battletankz.

Hm, I'll have to look into that. The single biggest slowdown issue in this game is redrawing the non changing UI elements and the battlefield, with I could do with minimal CPU usage is there was a way to create the picture on hardware in somewhat the way the Super Nintendo uses Layers. I'm not going to assume that's possible, though

And thanks... So, does OpenGL support VB6 and Taking input from the keyboard?

Interestingly enough, I ran this program on my win98SE 350 MHz computer and it ran like a charm

A 650 MHz WinXP library computer at school ran it like crap, so I'm thinking that it's just something on that computer that's slowing down my program. I'll look into OpenGL though, for graphics processing. right now I'm using
Private DirectX As DirectX8 'The master DirectX object.
Private DirectInput As DirectInput8 'Controls all things input
Private DirectInput_Device As DirectInputDevice8 'Represents hardware input equipment (keyboard)
Private Key_State As DIKEYBOARDSTATE 'Represents the keyboard itself
and
DirectInput_Device.GetDeviceStateKeyboard Key_State

To get my input, and just doing a lot of blits for the UI and such:

DIBDc = Canvas.hdc 'assign Canvas.hdc to a variable, seems to speed this up
'paint the battlefield - preassembled bitmap
BitBlt DIBDc, 0, 0, 640, 480, Battlefield.hdc, scrollX, scrollY, vbSrcCopy

'paint sprites - tanks and shots - Transparent parts not shown, of course.
For a = 0 To UBound(Sprites) - 1
If Sprites(a).Show = True Then
BitBlt DIBDc, Sprites(a).PosX - scrollX, Sprites(a).PosY - scrollY, 32, 32, Sprites(a).Graphics(Sprites(a).GFXFrame + Sprites(a).Frames).hdc, 0, 0, vbMergePaint
BitBlt DIBDc, Sprites(a).PosX - scrollX, Sprites(a).PosY - scrollY, 32, 32, Sprites(a).Graphics(Sprites(a).GFXFrame).hdc, 0, 0, vbSrcAnd
End If
Next a

'paint UI1 - main window GFX - Transparent parts not shown, of course.
BitBlt DIBDc, 0, 0, 640, 480, UI1m.hdc, 0, 0, vbMergePaint
BitBlt DIBDc, 0, 0, 640, 480, UI1.hdc, 0, 0, vbSrcAnd

'paint UI2 - Transparent parts not shown, of course.

If MenuShow = True Then 'Game Menu
BitBlt DIBDc, 153, 28, 304, 30, UI2m.hdc, 0, 0, vbMergePaint
BitBlt DIBDc, 153, 28, 304, 30, UI2.hdc, 0, 0, vbSrcAnd
End If

If ChatDialog = True Then 'Dialog for chatting with a guy
BitBlt DIBDc, 153, 28, 304, 40, UI3m.hdc, 0, 0, vbMergePaint
BitBlt DIBDc, 153, 28, 304, 40, UI3.hdc, 0, 0, vbSrcAnd
End If
BitBlt GScreen.hdc, 0, 0, 640, 480, DIBDc, 0, 0, vbSrcCopy

The most interesting things here have been an incident where a garbage can was set on fire and a teacher was running out the door from one of the wings carrying the burning garbage can, and a guy breaking a sprinkler and flooding two wings thanks to a wheelchair ramp inside the school between them. Never been any murders though

1) test1.text = "First line" + vbCrLf + "second Line"

2) to handle the mouseclicks, set the pictureboexe's scalemode property to 3 - pixels, and then in it's click() event, handle all the clicks there.

I have a similar router (WRT54GS), and I also get these problems. It's likely some sort of issue with the router's firmware... If you care to know, it's linux-based and there have reportedly been third party firmware developments for these routers
