    How to draw sprite and make it move with keyboard keys

    Hi,
    I am new to Game development .I have to use XNA with Visual studio 2010 for this game development and i am using c# for the programming.
    I have drawn a sprite and it is moving without any human control with keybord keys. It is just moving and if it hits any boundary then it will bounce. The sprite is not flipping also.

    I need to Draw the sprite(a helicopter image) on the screen and make it move around on its own. If the sprite is about to leave the screen, it should “bounce” off the edges and head in the opposite direction. Also,
    make sure the helicopter faces the direction it is traveling. Then after that i have to use the arrow keys on the keyboard to control the movement.

    Re: How to draw sprite and make it move with keyboard keys

    The place to start is by doing some simple programs in Xna. Download the Xna SDK and look over the examples and tutorials.

    It's so clear!
    you just change the coordinates using a keyboard interrupt and timer. and by clearing the form on each action. sort of refreshing!

    }
    Which cordinates here i need to change .I tried many and getting horrible errors. I dont have any idea about thos errors.

    I have wrote one code to move and flip the image.
    The code is as below
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
    using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;

    namespace Exercise1
    {
    class GameObject
    {
    private const float MAX_SPEED = 8.0f;
    private Vector2 position;
    private Vector2 velocity;
    private Texture2D texture;
    private Vector2 scaleSize;
    private float rotation;

    public GameObject(Texture2D setTexture)
    {
    texture = setTexture;
    velocity = new Vector2(0, 0);
    position = new Vector2(0, 0);
    scaleSize = new Vector2(1.0f, 1.0f);
    }

    public void Draw(SpriteBatch spriteBatch)
    {
    spriteBatch.Draw(texture, position, null, Color.White, rotation, new Vector2(0, 0), scaleSize, velocity.X > 0 ? SpriteEffects.FlipHorizontally : SpriteEffects.None, 0);
    }

    public void AddVelocity(float x, float y)
    {
    velocity.X += x;
    velocity.Y += y;
    }

    public void SetScale(float x, float y)
    {
    scaleSize.X = x;
    scaleSize.Y = y;
    }

    public void Update(GameTime gameTime, int screenWidth, int screenHeight)
    {

    position.X = Math.Min(Math.Max(position.X, 0), screenWidth - texture.Bounds.Width * scaleSize.X);
    position.Y = Math.Min(Math.Max(position.Y, 0), screenHeight - texture.Bounds.Height * scaleSize.Y);

    //Update position
    position += velocity;
    rotation = 0.25f / MAX_SPEED * velocity.X;

    //Lose velocity
    velocity *= 0.95f;
    }

    public Vector2 GetPosition()
    {
    return position;
    }

    }
    }
    But i need it in different way .so i converted it like as below
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
    using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio;
    using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content;

    /// <summary>

    /// </summary>
    public class Game1 : Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game
    {
    GraphicsDeviceManager graphics;
    SpriteBatch spriteBatch;
    private const float MAX_SPEED = 8.0f;
    Vector2 position = new Vector2(0,0);
    Vector2 velocity = new Vector2(0, 0);
    Texture2D helicopter;
    Vector2 scaleSize = new Vector2(1.0f, 1.0f);
    private float rotation;

    public Game1()
    {
    graphics = new GraphicsDeviceManager(this);
    Content.RootDirectory = "Content";
    }

    /// <summary>

    {
    // Allows the game to exit
    if (GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).Buttons.Back == ButtonState.Pressed)
    this.Exit();

    // TODO: Add your update logic here
    position.X = Math.Min(Math.Max(position.X, 0), screenWidth - helicopter.Bounds.Width * scaleSize.X);
    position.Y = Math.Min(Math.Max(position.Y, 0), screenHeight - helicopter.Bounds.Height * scaleSize.Y);

    //Update position
    position += velocity;
    rotation = 0.25f / MAX_SPEED * velocity.X;

    //Lose velocity
    velocity *= 0.95f;
    base.Update(gameTime);
    }
    protected override Vector2 GetPosition()
    {
    return position;
    }
    protected override void AddVelocity(float x, float y)
    {
    velocity.X += x;
    velocity.Y += y;
    }

    protected override void SetScale(float x, float y)
    {
    scaleSize.X = x;
    scaleSize.Y = y;
    }
    /// <summary>
    /// This is called when the game should draw itself.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="gameTime">Provides a snapshot of timing values.</param>
    protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime)
    {
    GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.CornflowerBlue);

    // TODO: Add your drawing code here
    spriteBatch.Draw(helicopter, position, null, Color.White, rotation, new Vector2(0, 0), scaleSize, velocity.X > 0 ? SpriteEffects.FlipHorizontally : SpriteEffects.None, 0);
    base.Draw(gameTime);
    }

    }
    }
    Then i am getting errors as show below
    Error 3 'task1.Game1.AddVelocity(float, float)': no suitable method found to override
    Error 2 'task1.Game1.GetPosition()': no suitable method found to override
    Error 4 'task1.Game1.SetScale(float, float)': no suitable method found to override
    Error 1 'task1.Game1.Update(Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GameTime, int, int)': no suitable method found to override
    And i am not able to understand this and getting much hectic when trying to remove these errors.

    How can i solve this problem

    Hi,

    i tried to move and flip the sprite by itsown with the code below
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
    using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio;

    using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GamerServices;
    using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
    using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Input;

    }
    It is moving but not flipping when it hits the right boundary wall and left boundary wall.
    How can i flip it so that the helicopter can move in its own direction
    Hope i will get a reply soon
