Question

I am trying to make a mini game with w,a,s,d as forward, left, down and right respectively.

The control moves up, left, down and right but only once. If i press the ‘W’,’S’,’A’ or ‘D’ key twice or thrice the control only moves up once.

This is the code i have currently for moving the control right:

private void moveRight(Button button)
    {
        // Gets the current position of the control
        Point relativePoint = button.TransformToAncestor(parentCanvas).Transform(new Point(0, 0));

        // Reason for having relative - relative is that its adding onto the previous point.
        Canvas.SetLeft(button, relativePoint.X - relativePoint.X + 5);

        button.Content = relativePoint;
    }


private void Window_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Key == Key.W)
        {
            moveUp(button1);
        }

        else if (e.Key == Key.A)
        {
            moveLeft(button1);
        }

        else if (e.Key == Key.S)
        {
            moveDown(button1);
        }

        else if (e.Key == Key.D)
        {
            moveRight(button1);
        }
    }

Please help or advise me how to go about solving this problem.

All help will greatly be appreciated.
Thanks

Answer 1

Figured it out, the logic was a bit out.

The correct way to do it is like this:

private void moveRight(Button button)
    {
        // Gets the current position of the control
        Point relativePoint = button.TransformToAncestor(parentCanvas).Transform(new Point(0, 0));

        Canvas.SetLeft( button , 5 + relativePoint.X );
        button.Content = relativePoint;

     }

Its working now, Thanks
