A lil C# help

@massdriver: rofl
i can't into english lately

@crackpunch: well, here's example

Code:

public partial class FormWithTimer : Form
    {
        Timer timer = new Timer();

        public FormWithTimer()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            timer.Tick += new EventHandler(timer_Tick); // Everytime timer ticks, timer_Tick will be called
            timer.Interval = (1000) / (25);             // 25 FPS
            timer.Enabled = true;                       // Enable the timer
            timer.Start();                              // Start the timer
        }

        void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            RenewImage();
        }
    }

goes kinda like that.

For the moving part - maybe you'll need UpwardShot and DownwardShot classes ('cause there could be more than one shot at once) with refresh methods and coords properties, and Refresh() will be called by RenewImage procedure which will just add some points when called.

Then for enemies: again classes for each type of enemy and some simple variable as step count, which will be ++'d each frame - and simple "select case" with this variable which will decide which coordinate to change on refresh. After some point it should be zeroed, cause you want them to move in loop.

Then you should get all the instances with their coordinates and place bitmaps using these coords. DOne - frame ready

P.S.: this could work only for uni project, for production better use 2D DX or OpenGL
P.P.S.: this algorithm was written under the influence of beer, and i don't know what performance it'll get. The code will look nicely tho
