Time for action – updating Game1 to update animated pieces
Modify the
Update()
method of theGame1
class by replacing the current case statement for theGameState.Playing
state with the following:Case GameStates.Playing timeSinceLastInput += (CSng(gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalSeconds)) If _gameBoard.ArePiecesAnimating() Then _gameBoard.UpdateAnimatedPieces() Else _gameBoard.ResetWater() Dim y As Integer For y = 0 To GameBoard.GameBoardHeight CheckScoringChain(_gameBoard.GetWaterChain(y)) Next _gameBoard.GenerateNewPieces(True) If (timeSinceLastInput >= MinTimeSinceLastInput) Then HandleMouseInput(Mouse.GetState()) End If End If
