[VB]acceleration -

Currently, I am in progress creating software..."game software" and it needs some acceleration.

When running software I could see some shuttering picture on every "milliseconds" for Ie. I drew a gauge like and when data sent from other game software program (as if it sents values-per-milliseconds) the gauge in picture shutters like 'tick-tock-clock', rather than seeing it going in a smooth flow.... assuming it has something to do with acceleration. what, do I need to make it go smooth? how do I do that? Any suggestion?

 

Acceleration -
How do I make a basic acceleration engine (in KPH) in VB, with easy-to-change values to alter acceleration? I just need a basic engine which simulates a car, it accelerations, but the acceleration gets slower as it accelerates more... hope someone understands. ;-) Thanks. -Git

Hardware acceleration -
For some reason, I can't run any game using hardware acceleration. For example in Midtown Madness 2, first this game gave me an option of choosing either "Software acceleration" or "Hardware acceleration" but now it's only showing "Software acceleration"

Hard Optimation is hard isn't it -
This problem would be much easier if it wasn't about optimation. A path of a rocket has to be set trough an amount of moving checkpoints while each of them have a different maximum velocity of which the rocket can pass by (otherwise it misses it). The acceleration,initial velocity and

Function question...(resolved)... -
I'm making a car game, and I need to find a function for the acceleration of the car. I want the acceleration to be 0.2 when the speed is close to zero and the acceleration to be close to 0 when the speed is close to 10....anyone??? The function should make a graf that looks lik

Anybody here good at physics =) -
How do i find out the horizontal force the wheels on a toy car exert on the ground if i know the acceleration and the coefficient of friction? I have a coefficient of friction of 0.62 and an acceleration of 0.40056 m/s^2 and btw, hi2all.

Calculating position given initial position, velocity and acceleration -
I'm creating a 2D game that supports replays by creatubg keyframes every time the object's properties change not according to a formula. Currently i'm moving the object using the following formulas (where Timing.dt) is the amount of time passed: Code: float XChange = Velocit

Hardware Acceleration... -
Ok, I need to know if its possible ( and at all reasonable ) to write code to communicate directly with your video card so that you can include your own hardware acceleration in 3D games. That's right... just like Direct 3D does. I know it would be difficult, and you would need a sep

Hardware Acceleration (Display) -
I'm trying to change Hardware Acceleration Slider (Display Settings->Settings->Advanced->Troubleshooting) by VB6 but I can't find any solution. Is there an API for that or something?

turn off/on hardware acceleration with a VB prog -
How can one make a VBprog for turning on and off the Hardware Acceleration on your videocard.. The use of this is to be able to capture all elements on my screen,including video,fast refreshing windows,some java apps,and many more things that cant be captured when the hardware is on..

Acceleration/Deacceleration -
Im making a small "physics" app that accelerates a picture box, and then deaccelerate it until it stops. I have the acceleration working, but the deacceleration is giving me problems: Code: // Accelerate private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) {

Hardware or VGA chip acceleration instruction code -
Anyone? I coded my own ASM MS-DOS picture routine, which uses 32bit instruction codes to transfer pics onto, say a 800x600x16 screen, on my old SiS 5597 chip, the FPS is around 15. Later I use DirectX to do the same, and it goes around 100 over. This is due to Windows hardware

Media Player Corrupts Screen -
If I use the Windows Media Player in a project to play an .AVI file my screen corrupts. If I start the Media Player from my Multimedia folder and open the file I have to decrease the Hardware Acceleration setting to allow the AVI to show properly. How can I change the Hardware Accele

real time integration in VB6 -
hello all, for a mobile robot navigation project I'm working on , I'm using a 3 axis accelerometer. the acceleration is sampled at 10 Hz frequency and in order to compute the location, i need to integrate the readings numerically, by the simple formula: x(t) = x(t-1) + a(t)*(dt)^2

Change DirextX settings on the fly -
Hello guys! I would like to be able to run different games with differnt DirectX settings.What I mean? For example I have this game which is extremely demanding in various areas of my hardware and recently I found out that disbling hardware accleration by running DXdiag fro my soundc

What is acceleration * time ?

Cassini Space Probe -
You decide to stowaway on the Cassini Space Probe heading for Saturn. You initiate the landing procedure 8.000km above the surface of Saturn. Starting from rest, you fall for 35.5 sseconds with the engines off (you have to find the acceleration due to gravity on Saturn). Determine the

OSs -
Is there a windows-compatible OS out there that will run my DX accelerated games with hardware acceleration? All I'm looking for is stability, compatibilty, and speed. I can be perfectly happy with a little C: prompt.

A physics proof! -
Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone could prove this: Range = Vo^2 sin 2x/g Note: g is acceleration due to gravity Its highschool physics by the way! Thanks for listening

The speed of acceleration -
What's the highest speed a photon can accelerate at? My teacher tried burning that into my brain in 1st grade but I guess it wasn't a hot topic for back then thanks dudes in advance

Laptop makers... -
Besides Dell, Fujitsu, Apple, Comcrap, Toshiba...who makes good ones? Dell is looking to be a bit too expensive, and it's hard-pressed to find a lappy with even meager 3D acceleration.

Convert velocity to spherical coordiates -
I think I authored a similar Thread here or at an other forum, but never got an answer I trusted. There are well known equations for transforming a Cartesian point (xyz) to Spherical coordinates and vice versa. What are the equations for transforming velocity and/or acceleration vec

Excel acceleration problem -
In Excel, when I select a group of cells and drag with the mouse to extend the selection out of the visible area I always get past the intended row or column by hundreds of thousands. How can I slow this down in a controllable fashion?

Pulley question + extras -
I have this pulley question which I'm stuck on. I can prove the acceleration result, but after that I have no idea. Also, some equations I don't know how to solve are at the bottom - any ideas please. "A planed is inclined at an angle arctan ¾ to the horizontal and a small, sm

Kinematics Question -
If I am given the initial height of something that is thrown downward and the velocity of the object when it hits the ground, how do I go about determining the initial velocity? (Earth's gravity is a factor in this problem - it controls acceleration).

A Jet Airplane Problem... -
Here's another one: N, S, E, W, stands for North, South, East, and West. A Boeing 777 is flying at 720 km/h [N 25 degrees E] and then executes a turn that brings it to a new velocity of 770 km/h [S 50 degrees E]. The turn took 10.0s. Determine the acceleration. Answer in m/s^2.

Numerical Methods in VB.Net -
I am trying to integrate a bunch of data points from acceleration back to position. Is there some built in functions for numerical integration/numerical methods? Thanks!

How can I add Sound Settings in dxdiag to VB -
Hi guys first time I'm posting here, so excuse me if I'm posting in wrong section. I'm owner of www.BADHQ.com ( Advanced BF2 Clan Tools ) I've been working on small project, ( BF2 Bug fixer ) Now I never worked with VB before, but I have worked with similar programs OK here is my q

Possibly a DirectX related question -
Start > Run > dxdiag. Wait for it to collect all the info, then click on the Sound tab. You'll see a "Hardware Sound Acceleration Level" slider there. Is it possible to modify this setting, preferably through a DOS Command, or even VB6/VB.NET/C/C++?

I have to choose between WinXP or WinME... Which one should I get to do development and using Multimedia API like DirectX and video acceleration (DVD-ROM and others) Thanx in advance... SXDev

Physics modelling -
Hi I was thinking of creating a small physics application using DirectX and C++. I need to accelerate an object horizontally and make it hit another object. But how do I calculate speed and acceleration? If it was vertically it would just be sqrt(2gh), but I dont now how to it horiz

A question about DirectX and Hardware Accelerations. -
Hi, Everytime I see a VB APP that checks the Hardware Accelerator of my Graphics Card (MSI GeForce FX 5600 with AGP8X).. And it tells me all the info about it.. like "You can't run this game because your Hardware Acceleration is not activated.." And so... What is it

Graphic acceleration -
I was just wondering how u use the computers graphic acc. card (if there is any). Is this handled automaticly by DirectX? Or do u have to write special code to use it? I'm not asking for a mile of code ...just an explanation on how this procedure works. Thanks!

Screen-capturing..can't be dissabled!!! -
Hi all... What are the possible ways which are used for Screen-Capturing in Windows? For example : I want to stop users & programs from capturing what is showed on the screen. I read that the only way that is used in these softwares is Dissabeling HAL (Hardware Acceleratio

Interception again -
Ok I just want to intercept an object moving in an elliptical path with an object with acceleration a at a time t. I need to get a(e,o,t) where E is the object's elliptical path and it's position in it at t=0 and o is the interceptor object's kinetical status (displacement and velocit

Spleen -
Has anyone else noticed the recent and rapid acceleration to power of "Spleen" and all associated randomness. What can it mean, is it more than a mere lifestyle choice, or are we all being fooled by a nonscenseical jape being played by a higher power - the power of spleen.

Is gravity cumulative -
When an object is falling, assuming only gravity is pulling on it. Does gravity accumulate on the acceleration, like after 2 seconds in the air is the object accelerating at 9.81*2 or is it still accelerating at 9.81 but has a velocity of 9.81*2?? I believe it has to be cumulative

Force to escape gravity -
How would i calculate the force needed to escape earths gravity, if i have the x mass of an object? I think i would need two vectors, one for force and one for gravity. maybe one for acceleration too? thanks

Game Artist needed! -
Hey guys! Well, i'm making this 2D game, astroids alike. I got player acceleration, astroids working etc. etc. But i seriously need someone to help with graphics. My goal is to make this both single, and multiplayer, so i want it to look good. I can't pay you anything(surprise surpr

Well, this should be fun -
I have two exams tomorrow. Calculus and physics (grade 12). I have not studied for the calculus exam... because, honestly, I don't need to. But the physics poses a problem. My book is not at home (and was not at school, for that matter) so I can't know for sure if I have the correct
