Hello I am new to programming and I need help with my current project.
Currently I am working on a simple space game that I hope one day will be bigger than it is right now, but I have one bump in the road from getting me there.
here is the current method I am working with but I want to make the sprite follow my mouse on mouse click.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GamerServices;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Input;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Media;
namespace FirstGame
{
public class Game1 : Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game
{
GraphicsDeviceManager graphics;
SpriteBatch spriteBatch;
Texture2D SpaceShip;
Vector2 SpaceShipPos = Vector2.Zero;
float rotation;
float speed;
Vector2 mousePosition;
MouseState mouseState = Mouse.GetState();
public Game1()
{
graphics = new GraphicsDeviceManager(this);
Content.RootDirectory = "Content";
}
protected override void Initialize()
{
base.Initialize();
}
protected override void LoadContent()
{
spriteBatch = new SpriteBatch(GraphicsDevice);
SpaceShip = Content.Load("space_ship");
SpaceShipPos = new Vector2(200, 200);
rotation = 0;
speed = 3;
}
protected override void UnloadContent()
{
}
protected override void Update(GameTime gameTime)
{
if (GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).Buttons.Back == ButtonState.Pressed)
this.Exit();
if (Keyboard.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).IsKeyDown(Keys.LeftControl))
{
MouseState mouse = Mouse.GetState();
mousePosition = new Vector2(mouse.X + 5, mouse.Y + 5);
Vector2 direction = mousePosition - SpaceShipPos;
direction.Normalize();
rotation = (float)Math.Atan2(
(double)direction.Y,
(double)direction.X);
SpaceShipPos += direction * speed;
}
this.IsMouseVisible = true;
base.Update(gameTime);
}
protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime)
{
GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.Black);
spriteBatch.Begin();
spriteBatch.Draw(
SpaceShip,
SpaceShipPos,
null,
Color.White,
rotation,
new Vector2(
SpaceShip.Width / 2,
SpaceShip.Height / 2),
1.0f,
SpriteEffects.None,
1.0f);
spriteBatch.End();
base.Draw(gameTime);
}
}
}
Also if you could help me with another thing. Every time I stop my mouse from moving and my sprite moves into it. The sprite goes all crazy. Please help me and thank you!
