How Are Crossword Puzzle Grids Made
Aug 17, 2010How are crossword puzzle grids made? I have written a program to generate a puzzle, my problem is the GUI part.I ended up using Visual Basic (VB) because I'm more familiar with that language.However, eventually I have to write this in Java. So far the only way I am displaying the results in a grid-like format is using two controls Groupbox with a Label inside it.This way I can put the number to the word's clue in the title line of the Groupbox, and the individual letter in the Label. To make the cell in the grid editable (my goal for a different version of the puzzle), I guess a Textbox would have to replace the Label.The GUI for real online (professional) crossword puzzle grids is much nicer than this.I know there is a way to combine controls to make a customized one. Even if this works in VB, I'm not certain if it can be done in Java, therefore, I really don't want to go that route (unless someone knows how make customized controls in Java). I have searched the net and looked in books on games, VB and Java with no luck.I need something that I can grow dynamically depending on the grid size needed to hold the content.

View 10 RepliesFind / Replace Word Puzzle
May 5, 2009Let's say I have an object that contains a Word property and a Sentence property. The sentence must use the word, and I want to replace the word in that sentence with a link using a public function (say, GetLinkedSentence). The catch is maybe the sentence uses a plural form of the word and maybe the "word" itself is actually a phrase, or is even hyphenated. There's no length limit to the word either. How do I find and replace this word (in ASP.NET, preferably VB) with a link [word])?

VS 2010 Calculate Width And Height Of The Puzzle
Feb 21, 2012I am creating a puzzle game and would like to calculate the width and height of the puzzle taking into account the original image size and the screen resolution. My screen height is 768 and width is 1366. An example image is 1200 x 1600 and the jigsaw size that works well with this image is 480 (height) x 640 (width). I would like to create an algorithm that calculates the jigsaw size for any image bearing in mind that the screen resolution will change as will the size of the image.
View 2 RepliesGrid Based Puzzle Board Game Block Removal Algorithm?
Jan 26, 2010the rules are that same coloured blocks of two or more can be removed by clicking on them. blocks then slide down from above. if a column is empty columns other columns move in from the sides.when someone clicks on the green blocks in the bottom row the columns should slide in from the sides. columns to the left of the black line slide right and on the right of the black line slide left. so in this case only the two rightmost columns should slide from the right to the black line after removing the green blocks.The problem i am having is in designing a suitable algorihm to do the collapsing after the removal. my current approach is to test each column from left to right to see if it is empty. if it is empty then i slide whatever column is to the left (if left of the black line) or to the right (if to the right of the black line) over the blank column and repeat this in the direct i am sliding from

Creating An Web API In ASP.Net
Jul 7, 2009I'm looking to create an API for a website I have built. The API will be built in ASP.Net - probably using VB and will need to be consumed by multiple platforms including PHP.

View 5 RepliesCreating And Using A C DLL For VB?
Jun 3, 2011I am trying to learn how to create a DLL in C (using Visual C++ 2010) for use in Visual Basic (2008 Express). I am a novice programmer, so please bear with me. My objective is to learn how to do starting with a very simple function, and I foundC++.html This examples presented in that tutorial are for Visual C++ 6 and VB6. I know there are differences between VB6 and VB2008, so maybe this is why I am running into problems following this example. In Visual C++, I created the DLL as a Win32 project. The function is simply summing two integers. I put the function "sum" in the source file "dllmain.cpp."

View 4 Replies.net - Creating A UDP Packet?
Mar 10, 2009I'm building a simple udp lan chat application in vb.net and I'm wondering how I should split my packets. Each sent packet should have like an id, a username and ip address from where it's coming and maybe also a command part for like join or leave to update my userlist and a text message. I'd like to know what is the easiest way to put all this in a simple packet then easily split and access different parts from it when it's received. thanks.I'm using UDP since this is only in lan so i'm broadcasting to *.*.*.255
What I want to know is what would be the most easy and powerful way to format my packets so they include a username , an id, a command and a text message, then the user receiving it decrypt it to show only the message written by which user or if it's a command like join or leave to show the appropriate message of joining and add the user to the list for exemple.
Asp.net - Creating A Doc File From .net Web App?
Jun 3, 2011I have a vb.net web app, and I need to give my users the facility to download a ms-word .doc file. This file needs to be created dynamically, and should contain some bold text and a table.
I've come across this code, which builds a .doc file, and lets you download it:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim strFileName As String = "GenerateDocument" + ".doc"
[Code]....
...but I don't know how to make the text bold, or create a table. I'm sure there's a better way.

View 9 RepliesCreating A Database On The Fly?
Apr 25, 2011I'm trying to develop 2 companion applications. One application will be a FileSystemWatcher service application that will create/maintain a database containing file metadata (file properties) from a specific folder structure on the user's C drive. The other application is executed by the user which contains edit boxes pertaining to the metadata. As the user enters data in the edit boxes, the code will execute an SQL statement which in turn will display a list of file matching the entered criteria.
I'm thinking about using Microsoft Access as the database since all users have it but I'm willing to use another database format as long as it something intrinsic to the Windows XP 64 bit system (i.e. I don't want to install another database application in order to utilize its database format). So, do you have a suggestion on a database format? Do you have some pointers or links, on how to create database file and tables on the fly? Should I use DAO or ADO or something else? I'd prefer to work in VB.NET.
Creating A DLL 2008 That Can Be Used By VBA
Jun 21, 2010I created a new class project. I added a new COM object.The .ddl contains a single Public Function and one Public method. The method contains one line of code, a msgbox.I have "Register for COM interop" checked in the Project>Configuration>Compile page.I have ComVisible(true) in the AsseblyInfo.vb file.I use RegAsm to register the .dll and the .tlbI have used RegAsm to create a .reg file and then imorted successfully into the registry. If I open Excel, and go to Macro I cannot add the .dll as a refernce. The exact message I get is "Can't add a refernce to a specified file".I can reference the .tlb file and the Intelisense works. However, when the Excel Macro code runs I get the error, "Can't find file".I don't really expect anyone to download it to solve my problem. But if you become as frustrated as I am, I thought it might help to see the actual files. Be aware that I enclosed the .reg file from the RegAsm process. You can view it by opening notepad first and browsing for it. Do not click on the .reg file as I think that might modify your registry.
