Question

No offense, but you''ve got a long ways to go before you''ll be programming something like that. The first thing you should learn is physics and vector math. After that, you should learn a programming language that is better suited for graphics and games. When I first started programming, I didn''t want to learn C++, so I used QBasic until I was ready to learn C++. QBasic is a great language for experimenting and learning to program.

So are Multimedia Fusion www.clickteam.com (no real programming required but you learn alot of algorithms and ways to things on, just easier) untill you feel ready for some C.
Visual Basic is quite good for that time of game you want to make i think...
It totally depends on you!

What you want is the set of projectile euqtaions.
Try this:
Projectiles can be broken into 2 parts: horizontal and vertical
Okay, for s specific time u can use the following equations:

x = ut cos A
y = ut sin A + 0.5gt^2

Where:
u is your initial velocity (Power of shot)
t is your time (I''ll explain later)
A is your angle (Angle of aimer)
g is acceleration due to gravity (usualy about 9.81 or aprox to 10)

So the code will look something like:

Object.x = InitialVelocity * TimeValue * cos(Angle)
Object.y = InitialVelocity * TimeValue * sin(Angle) + 5*(t^2)

Basicly (its easy with VB) you move your object around using the equations. Choose a value for InitialVelocity and Angle and then basicaly assign the x and y co-cords of your object using teh equations. If you keep on incementing the size of time, (i.e. by using a timer control) then your object will fly in a nice curved (parabolic) path accross your form!

If you need more info, post back and I''ll try and knock up an example (using LINUX at the mo so a bit difficult to use VB!)

Does it matter? Even if it does matter, does it matter that it matters?

Question:
Why should picture follow your curve ?

No it was wrong

Why should your picture follow your Curve ?

Look, no offense, but there''s a beginner''s forum for a reason. You''re asking simple, basic questions about how to use a language. On top of that, even if you did know how to use the language, you don''t know how to do what you''re trying to do at all. If you learn a little more about your language, say, figure out how to display images at arbitrary points, and if you read a few basic math and physics tutorials, I''d be glad to help you. The questions you''re asking now, though, are not appropriate at all.
