First attempt at c#

[JamieF]

I was messing around with c# for the first time today and I made this game where you can hit Linus in the head... sort of. It's like a hit the mole game but something to do with collision doesn't let you hit the object itself but rather touch the top left corner. I might fix it in the future

 

Basically you have 60 seconds to hit that corner as many times as you can. I've been working on this pretty much all day and I wanted to share it so I could get some feedback on what I could improve for the next rubbish game I make

 

 

It opens in full screen to give more playing room.

 

I can post the code if anybody wants to play about with it

 

Here's the link to download:

I apologise if this is the wrong place to put the topic or if it's not allowed at all.

Haha nice work! And great picture of Linus 

This should be a tread where everybody can post their highscores.

Man you made that in one at your first try at c# and I dont even know how to make a application outside of the console, and I have been learning c# in my freetime for a few weeks. 

 

 

Also can you link me to what you used to learn c#

Can you upload the project/source somewhere?

 

I want to check it out.

It's in the OP

 

How do I actually hit him? I didn't see it in the controls

It was based off a tutorial I saw this morning. 

 

I made that game and then played around with the code. I tend to learn what I need for the project and pick up the basic stuff along the way

Eww mega. Always gives me "Your browser seems a bit outdated". I don't want to downgrade to a new version of Opera damn it.

 

Your thing looks funky though I did a whack a troll last year for an assignment and it turned out quite well.

Try out XNA (unsupported now, but has a lot of useful functions) It's basically a nice pretty version of directX for c#

Where? I can only find the application executables...

Oops... I didn't see that you said source. my bad

Thanks, i'll have a look

I've included the whole project folder so you should be able to open it in vs

ImageToHit is created, but the constructor does accept size or anything, and you don't set the ImageSize after you created it, so you end up with ImageSize equally effectively 0...so the interesectswith only accepts the top left corner.

 

Consider something like

            public ImageToHit(Size size)            {                 ImageSize = size;                Speed.X=3;                Speed.Y=3;            }

OR less recommended, but still could work

        public Game()        {            Target.ImageSize = ///your size here            InitializeComponent();            SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint | ControlStyles.OptimizedDoubleBuffer | ControlStyles.ResizeRedraw, true);        }

Sorry i've been working on another project and forgot to say thank you

 

There was an error with the code (constructor takes in 0) but I fixed it by adding the height and width.
