Visual Basic Express 2010 Tutorial 41 Dynamically Adding Invaders - EZInvaders Part 10 Game

Copy and pasting objects in the form manually does works for small sets of objects. If the application needs 100s of objects then copy and pasting will not work well. What is needed is to dynamically add objects to the form. Make a variable as the object you want to create. Make a new instance of that object, set the properties, then add the object to the controls by using Controls.Add

You didn't show us the part where you changed your hit detection system to include an infinite number of invaders! Shame on you! Dx

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. From what I can see It was the exact same. But when I run The invaders start 50 pixels dropped. And when they hit the other side they drop another 50 and all is going well till they get back to the original side. Then they go up 50 pixels and start in a loop. If I change the invader drop to 100, they start 100 pixels down, and drop 100, then go back up 100. Does anyone else have this problem?!?
