I am a serious vb.NET programmer. Inhave made some commercial and non commercial applications. And the demand for features and quality is getting higher. And while I know how to provide a high quality program, it takes a lot of time to add it to everything when you make an already complex program. Im not about to skimp on my quality, or rip off my customers. Thats why I need a few programmers in VS 10 to help me with some of my projects. Heres what I offer

- Credit for your work.

- A percentage of profit from anything you help with.

Please email me - <!-- e --><a href="mailto:arrelin1@yahoo.com">arrelin1@yahoo.com</a><!-- e --> if you are interested. It won't require too much code per task. Thank you.

I am trying to make a game making software run in a panel in my program. what happens now is that when my program starts, the game maker opens in its own window; I want it to open in my panel. Can someone tell me how to make it either run where it is in the panel and can have other buttons surrounding it or what I need to use to make it run INSIDE my program. I used the code

I've been whateing for you (brandon) to finesh your tutorials on how to make a game that has a "LevelEditor". In your last tutorial on this subject, you had just fuinushd showing how to make the LevelEditor.

I'm trying to learn java from your video tutorials and i'm on part 19 now when executing your program it does not find any mouse so nothing happens when the mouse is pressed.

I have created a class which automatically implements and runs double-buffering. What does this mean? If you're making a game and want to utilize the mechanics of double-buffering, but don't know how, simply make your game class extend jBFCanvas and you will have a working Canvas object that automatically works as a double-buffering machine. Simply override the DoLogic and Draw methods!

[code2=java]import java.awt.Canvas;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.image.BufferStrategy;

/*
* This class is created to make making games easier, it allows
* classes to automatically inherit double-buffer capabilities and
* canvas properties
* To use, force your class to extend this class and override the draw and dologic methods

I want to start using Arduino. does anyone know any tutorials or code snippets for Arduino programing?

I've got the window and the back buffer setup, but how do I make the buttons, where do I put it in the class which class do I put it in, and how do I set the location?

I have developed a small class which syncs a rectangle with an image, allowing the seamless detection of collisions within an image using an invisible rectangle, if you will. This is extremely useful for game objects such as players, bullets, enemies, etc.

Hopefully you find it useful:
[code2=java]class RectangleImage
{
private Image img = null;
private Rectangle rect = null;

public RectangleImage(Image img, int x, int y)
{
this.img = img;
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(img);
this.rect = new Rectangle(x, y, icon.getIconWidth(), icon.getIconHeight());
}

public Rectangle getRect()
{
return this.rect;
}

public Image getImg()
{
return this.img;
}

public void move(int x, int y)
{
this.rect.setBounds(x, y, rect.width, rect.height);
}

public void draw(Graphics2D g2, ImageObserver o)
{
g2.drawImage(this.img, this.rect.x, this.rect.y, this.rect.width, this.rect.height, o);
}

public boolean intersects(Rectangle r)
{
return this.rect.intersects®;
}

public Rectangle intersection(Rectangle r)
{
return this.rect.intersection®;
}

public void rotateImage(double degrees, ImageObserver o)
{
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(this.img);
BufferedImage blankCanvas = new BufferedImage(icon.getIconWidth(), icon.getIconHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)blankCanvas.getGraphics();
g2.rotate(Math.toRadians(degrees), icon.getIconWidth() / 2, icon.getIconHeight() / 2);
g2.drawImage(this.img, 0, 0, o);
this.img = blankCanvas;
}
}[/code2]

Although the above code is used in the first three tutorials, I have since revised the code. The updated version is:

[code2=java]class RectangleImage extends Rectangle
{
//RectangleImage class created by brandonio21 --
//allows seamless integration of positioning/rotation
//with images. Extremely useful for games.
//http://brandonsoft.com
private Image img = null;

public RectangleImage(Image img, int x, int y)
{
this.img = img;
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(img);
this.setBounds(x, y, icon.getIconWidth(), icon.getIconHeight());
}

public Image getImg()
{
return this.img;
}

public void move(int x, int y)
{
this.setBounds(x, y, width, height);
}

public void draw(Graphics2D g2, ImageObserver o)
{
g2.drawImage(this.img, x, y, width, height, o);
}

public void rotateImage(double degrees, ImageObserver o)
{
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(this.img);
BufferedImage blankCanvas = new BufferedImage(icon.getIconWidth(), icon.getIconHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)blankCanvas.getGraphics();
g2.rotate(Math.toRadians(degrees), icon.getIconWidth() / 2, icon.getIconHeight() / 2);
g2.drawImage(this.img, 0, 0, o);
this.img = blankCanvas;
}
}[/code2]
