Basic Mastermind Game - Don't Want Any Colors To Repeat - Values Still Repeat Sometimes
Feb 17, 2011
I'm trying to make a mastermind game program with visual basic. I started of creating the combination maker for the start of the game. Hoever, in my version i don't want any colors to repeat. I used the random function independently to get numbers from 1 to 6. Each number has a corresponding color. The problem, the values still repeat sometimes.
Here's my code for that part:
Randomize
a = Fix(Rnd * 6) + 1
txtA = a
If a = 1 Then

I am working on a poker game and I have the game setup the way I want it in terms of graphics and I have the code programed to deal the cards out exactly how I want them. Granted, the code is very simplistic, but functional for a new programmer like myself. I'm sure there are other more efficient ways to code my game, but I like mine so far because I can at least understand the majority of it. With that being said, here are a few problems and questions that I have.
1. How come when all 12 cards are dealt out I have some cards repeating in the game? For example, I get queen of diamonds in more than one picture box when I only want the card to be dealt once and then removed until the next game.
2. I was hoping to have a button 3 to clear all the boxes, basically resetting the game to the next game. When I hit button 3 it only clears the contents of picturebox 10 and 12.Other notes: I have the deal down the way I want it. It deals the first 10 picture boxes and a second button deals the 11 and 12 picture boxes.
3. I know this is my next step so I want to post it with the code I currently have. I want to start taking my project one step further by evalutating each of the three rows of cards (3 rows of 3 cards each - I'm not worried about the dealers hand (picture box 10, 11, 12 yet). So I want to evaluate a row of pictureboxes against a "pay scale" and display the win in a text box or label next to the 3 card hand. For example, Q of diamonds, Q of Clubs, Q of spades would win 15, etc. ( have a weird feeling I may have to change the names of the cards (I have them named card1, card2, etc. right now) to something that identifies them in order to evaluate the hands.
Here is the code that I currently have. I'm using visual basic.
Public Class Form1
Dim Rndm As New Random
Dim myPB(11) As PictureBox
Dim HiddenCards As New List(Of String)

How do I (programmatically) find out the key repeat delay and key repeat rate for a system?
A solution that works on any/all .Net capable platforms would be ideal, but the key target OSes would be XP, Vista, and 7.

There is a richtextbox containing either 'True' or 'False' at each of it's lines. Let's say for example that it contains 100 lines. The 2nd line is 'False'. Through a contextmenustrip I would like to be able to select that 'False' value and have an option saying 'apply to a range' of lines. The program would ask for the number of lines the user would like to apply that value, and apply that value to the lines he specified. [Code]

I'm having trouble using the Random class. I have this [code]...
I have this code in a function and everytime I call it it return a random number. The problem is I only want the number to be return/generate once. There be times I call the function and it returns the same number as in the pass. Is there a way to random the number once? I know in C++ you use like "Seed" or something and it will only generate once.

I've completed an assignment that requires me to search through two listboxes for a particular number.If the number is found, the text on a label changes to a dollar amount, otherwise a message box is displayed letting the user know that the requested number cannot be found.It works well enough, searches through the listboxes, finds the number, and displays the message box when it can't be found.However, the message box shows repeatedly up to five times.After the user clicks "OK" on the fifth appearance, the program crashed and displays the follow message."Invalid Argument = Value of '5' is not valid for 'index'.Parameter name: index."I don't know what's causing this, or how to fix it.I do use the index as a counter at a portion of the program...but I'm not sure where I went wrong with it.[code]Also there are five items in the second listbox...probably has something to do with it.

I am creating a page that auto-creates a pdf file from data in the database. I have the entire pdf working with the exception of the pdf background. The customer wants a gradient which I will need to repeat, but how would I create this? the image is 1px in width 976 in height [Code]. I was hoping that declaring a longer width it would stretch the image across but this failed.

I have access to the source code of a previously created app that work's as designed, but i am looking to update it for further enhance its ability. The change required may be simple in thought and also in design.Basically the app allows you to read in a data file a confirm the data file is in the correct format.Details fo the data file. All lines of the file are 120 characters long. If they are not then there will be an error returned. The fields within the lines have different properties and vaules and the validation on these fileds and lines work perfectly.
1. The first line of the file is always known as a descriptive ( header record ).
2. The next line will outline a detail record. The could be hundreds of these lines.
3. Finally there is a file total record.
A file could be four lines in total or 40000 lines in total. As mentioned the app works when there is one header and total record.I am looking to see if it can be modified.My intention is to merge multiple data files into a single file. There in lies the problem. There is a line in the code as per below.
Do While Not EOF(1)
As far as i can tell this means to go to the end of the file. When there are more than on set of data , there are errors messages generated because the code is looking only for one set of header and trailer records. As mentioned when there is one set of header total records , the apps will validate the file and return any error messages.What i think i need to do is insert another loop/s that say's read data between the header record and the trailer record , if there are any errors display it , then go to the next header / trailer records and display and errors , and continue to do so until you reach then EOF.

I some code that looks to see if a certain program is running when the form is open. If the program is open it puts Running in a label, if it isn't running it says not running.What I want to do is repeat this process every 5 or 10 seconds.

I have to make a mastermind game in VB 2008 using procedures and functions and not using any public variables. There are 5 procedures and functions:
1)Sub ChooseColors (intPeg1Color, intPeg2Color, intPeg3Color) which generates unique numbers to represent the colours for the secret arrangement of the coloured pegs.
2)Sub GetGuess(intPeg1Guess, intPeg2Guess, intPeg3Guess, blnDuplicateGuesses) which gets the unique guesses of the three peg colours from the user.
3)Function CorrectPegs(intPeg1Guess, intPeg2Guess, intPeg3Guess, intPeg1Color, intPeg2Color, intPeg3Color) which calculates the number of correct pegs chosen by the user.
4)Function CorrectColors(intPeg1Guess, intPeg2Guess, intPeg3Guess, intPeg1Color, intPeg2Color, intPeg3Color) which calculates the number of correct colors chosen by the user.
5)Function HasDuplicates(intPeg1Color, intPeg2Color, intPeg3Color), called from ChooseColors(), which returns True if any of the peg colours is a duplicate with any other peg colour.
Here is my code so far:
Mastermind
Private Sub btnDone_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDone.Click
If MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to exit?", "Confirm exit", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Stop) = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes Then
[Code] .....
How I can get the variables from ChooseColors (peg1Color, peg2Color, peg3Color) and the variables from GetGuess (peg1Guess, peg2Guess, peg3Guess) and use them for the functions, CorrectPegs and CorrectColors.
