    text
    copied!<p>I am attempting to create a Pong game in C# with Visual C# Express 2010. For the most part, I have the main idea of the game finished, however I have an issue with the ball moving. I have create a for loop, like this:</p> <pre><code>public void ballSet() { if (!Values.isPaused) { while(true) { if (Values.totalTime.Elapsed.Seconds &gt; 1) { Values.totalTime.Restart(); ballMove(50, 50); } } } } public void ballMove(int factorX, int factorY) { Values.ballLastX = ball.Location.X; Values.ballLastY = ball.Location.Y; this.ball.Location = new Point(this.ball.Location.X + factorX, this.ball.Location.Y + factorY); } </code></pre> <p>The "ballMove(50, 50);" is just for testing purposes at the moment. The issue is that when ballSet() is called, the form seems to close with a code of 0, meaning that there was no error. I call ballSet() over here.</p> <pre><code>public Pong() { InitializeComponent(); ballSet(); Values.totalTime.Start(); } </code></pre> <p>I have already checked and the program does somewhat work when I remove the while loop in ballSet(), as well as the if statement checking the stopwatch (Values.totalTime is a Stopwatch). Obviously since the while loop is commented out, ballMove() is only called once, and the the ball moves once and stops. </p> <p>Does anyone know how to fix this? I want the ball to be moving constantly, while still having it possible to perform other tasks such as moving the bat in Pong.</p> <p>This is the output I can give you while running Pong.</p> <p><a href="http://pastebin.com/nj1pdg3U" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/nj1pdg3U</a></p>
