I'm pretty sure that only works on a specific control/form, not the entire computer.

It's not an assigment, it's a project I've been working on for quite some years now. I finally found the example I wanted to show you guys.

It's a 2D version of this:

I appreciate your answer and from reading my question this would have been the answer, but I didn't ask it properly. Thanks a lot for your input though!

Okay, I've just woken up and have been to school. I just realised how unclear my question really was. I'll edit it now, and hope it will be more clear.

I really need your email by the way, you happen to help me every time. :)

I'm sorry for not be clearing enough, I happened to have just fallen into my coding weeks again(Been up for 36 hours now coding minute after minute.)
Yes that's exactly the one I am using, and with attaching I mean being able to make it look like it's one whole model/sprite/texture, without affecting any of the actual objects/textures.

Yes, this worked perfectly!

Hi!

Thanks for your reply. I was looking at a few articles before skipping back here, and I finally understand what a proxy is, and the server.

I must ask though, you have answered quite a few of my questions a while back, and you seem to be incredibly helpful. Could I add you on for instance Skype, or Email? By the way, thanks for the Wikipedia!

Also if you think* I'm sorry for sounding rude, this was not my intention -- just poor writing skills. :p

Cheers mate, never heard of that TCP Delay. :)

Also be sure not to forget that they are metaphors for real objects in a two dimensional array, from which one is null and the other one is a real object.

You wouldn't be able to find those by using only two for loops, and I have no idea how to do it otherwise.

Here is what I mean.

The black lines are the "edges" in x,y cooardinates based on pixels.

Well, it's simple really. The hashtags that are filled in just like filled square have edges. Basically the goal is to find the locations of the edges(Array[ x, y]) and put those into another array. It's easy to do this with rectangles, spheres, and every shapre for that matter, however a shape that has for instance a cut-in edge also has indirect edges as shown in the last example. I have no idea how to get those.

The code in the beginning is attraction.

public void Attraction(Entity Entity)
{
VecForce = new Vector2();
Distance = Vector2.Distance(Position, Entity.Position);

xx = Entity.Position.X;
yy = Entity.Position.Y;

Angle = Math.Atan2(yy - Position.Y, xx - Position.X);

Multitude = (Constants.Gravity * (Mass * Entity.Mass) / (Distance * Distance));

VecForce = new Vector2((float)Math.Cos(Angle), (float)Math.Sin(Angle));
VecForce.Normalize();

VelocityForce = Vector2.Add(VelocityForce, VecForce * Multitude) / Mass;
}

And with that there is nothing else I could add on here. :c

I've given you all the code that affects the position, and the problem.

?

I'm using XNA 4.0. :)

Yes, thanks a lot for your informative answer. I do use XML Serialization, I then convert the string of that into a byte array and with the same method back. :)

You just made me think about something interesting, thanks a lot, I think this just solved it.

So, assuming I will send one array of 64 bytes. I will have to send another 63 packets of the same size in order to be able to read it? What is up with this protocol?

The packets can differentiate from sizes, while a TCP buffer can only hold a specific amount of data.

No this is exactly what I meant, I just followed your logic and it's easier for me to figure out next problems. Thanks a lot! :)

Thank you I really appreciate the help and this did solve it!

Not really homework, this is for a project of mine but I do not have an idea. I thought about multiplying the number by three, but that didn't work out well.

Yes, true. I have just commented the if statement and it appeared to have added boxes at 608. Well, I'll look further into the if statement, thanks a lot for the help! :)

But after thinking about it, it can't stop at 18. Since 0 is in the for loop and 19 too. I'm so confused.

Basically,

If the block is not air,
we can collide with it(for instance dirt, grass).

Well one of the causes is that I did not write:

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
if (!Colliding(0, -i))
{
this.PositionPixelY -= i;
CalculatePositions();
}
}

Yeah, I was thinking that I had to do this. Thanks a lot. :)

Silly me for forgetting that. Thank you very much.

I got it fixed.

Okay, so I fixed the first line. It was because I forgot to do the Y.
But still the head is turning the wrong way?

this.Player.EntityHeadAngle = (float)(Math.PI / 4 - (Math.Atan2(e.State.X - Cradle.GraphicsManager.PreferredBackBufferWidth / 2, e.State.Y - Cradle.GraphicsManager.PreferredBackBufferHeight)));

No you do not? :L

X

Y

X -> Y = ~135.

"Uneccsarily editing my posts" Well grammar failed quite hard there. Oh, and that was pointed at the guy, not you, sorry. :L

First of all, please stop unneccsarily editing my post. Next, I am trying to accomplish getting the angles by points. For now, the angle should be calculated from the middle of the form, to a point on the screen. Unfortunatly, whenever I do this I seem to be getting odd results.
