  • in vb.net how to return the focus to the keypress?

    Ok I'm writing a platform game exercise in VB 2008 I can create a ball and have its left and right movement linked to a keypress via the keyDown event.

    I have then added a timer and added gravity with ball.top = ball.top + 4.

    I have then added a platfrom and while loop in the timer that switches gravity off while the platform and ball are in collision.

    However ...

    Once the ball touches the platform the keypresses no longer work and I don't know why ? do I have to put the focus back to the keyDown Sub ?

    Help !!!

    code is here

    Public Class Form1

    Dim gravity As Integer = 4

    Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown

    If e.KeyCode = Keys.A Then

    ball1.Left = ball1.Left - 4

    End If

    If e.KeyCode = Keys.W Then

    ball1.Top = ball1.Top - 4

    End If

    ' If e.KeyCode = Keys.D Then

    'ball1.Left = ball1.Left + 4

    'End If

    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    End Sub

    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

    ball1.Top = ball1.Top + gravity

    While ball1.Top >= plat1.Top - 68

    gravity = 0

    End While

    End Sub

    End Class

  • Solve for x - check my calcs please?

    Hi - I'm not too confident on this stuff - am I right ?

    circle radius 2x has the same perimeter as a triangle whose sides are 2x+1 3x and 3x+4 solve for x

    2pi2x = 2x+1 + 3x + 3x+4

    2pi2x = 8x +5

    2pi = 8x-2x +5

    2pi-5 = 6x

    x = 2pi-5 / 6

  • Blood test results - another sample required?

    I have had blood tests done because of hypertension to test for liver function. The Full blood, glucose and cholesterol tests were ok but I have been asked to retest again (in 7 days) as the Doctor wanted to check kidney and liver function. This is all the info I can get from the receptionist, any idea what this could be about, is it something I should worry about ?
