I am trying to create a program that calculates the prices of different payment methods of a buffet.The program requirements are simple. The buffet start in 1/7/2011 and ends 31/8/2011. Payments methods are online, cash and coupon. coupon is only valid from 1/8/2011 to 31/8/ 2011. 1 child is free for every 2 adult that pay. There are different prices for weekends (sat and sun) and different prices for weekdays. [code]
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to pick up some simple object-oriented programming skills so I am trying my hand at beginner's problem - and I am totally stuck...I'm trying to write a program that will print to a label, the area and perimeter of your shape of choice, dependent on the Length and Width (for Rectangles and Triangles) or Radius (For Circles) you input and the shape you select.
I know how to do this easily with simple event-driven programming, but I'm trying to do this by using classes and inheritance.The idea I have is that you enter in length/Radius and/or width into text boxes (txtLen, txtWid) and then you can click a button to display the Length, Width and Perimeter or Radius and Circumference, and Area.
I'd create a Super-Class: Shapes to define my overarching parameters - all shapes have area and perimeter. Then I would create sub-classes for each shape inheriting the overarching "Shapes" class - dim'ing all of their respective extra pieces. Then the buttons would display the appropriate info when clicked.I understand this seems like a lot - but really I just need help getting my feet on the ground for this.

View 2 RepliesI had this incredibly ambitious goal to make a video game and so I am teaching myself/relying on kindness and knowledge of others as I go along. So far I have learned a lot, however needless to say, this is a monstrously difficult challenge, however one that I am very passionate about completing. The idea is that I am making a trading card style game and I was hoping that I could continue to use this thread and your kindness to keep me going whenever nessecessary throughout this challenge.So, here is where I am now. (Please forgive me if i have posted too much details/not enough details. Since I am new, I am not sure what information you need to help me. This will be corrected as time goes by and I learn more)I have created a card class with two properties. name and picture with name As String, and picture as PictureBox. the constructor looks like this: [code]
My next goal(and where I am currently stuck) is making i so that when the user clicks on one of the items in the listbox, a picture of the appropriate card(saved in a pictureBox of its own on a different form, and referenced in the card via the picture element) will be placed inside the empty picture box on the deckPage.
Im using Visual Basic 2008.Okay I got all the design, and everything set up, even the hangman body parts coming on the screen and stuff. So my problem is creating the BLANKS, the underscores "_", and replacing them with a letter...

Student pursuing BSIT degree, employer expectations, entry level. I would like to solicit opinions from this forum as to what your professional expectations are as regards an entry level position in working in the database realm... I see many job opportunities that require a minimum of 2 or more years experience, how does one go about obtaining this experience (I have tried very hard to maintain a minimum 3.70+ GPA) but have ZERO work experience in this field... I spend non school time working in VB and SQL to try and increase my proficiency. I have considered postponing my job search until I obtain certifications from brainbench etc... Any criticism and or advise is welcomed... Again I have no experience in database other than undergrad work in class.

I am just for learning purposes trying to develop a one player text based game.
I have a rich text box (GameWindow)
I have a text box (InputWindow)
I have a button (InputButton)
and a bunch of labels that aren't really important
I have two questions first is easy probably. How do i get InputWindow to respond to me hitting enter when text is in it?

But if i plan to have more that is only going to increase the size and code needed and im sure there is an easier way i just don't know how to do it.

View 8 RepliesI avidly create games in VB.net. Being a hobby programmer I give my games away for free. Since I'm a hobbiest without formal training I do try and educate myself on proper programming principles and follow them when programming such as OOP. There are however some things I have obviously missed being self-taught that perhaps I would know if I were formally educated. Once such issue that has really been my bane is how different classes (from now on referred to as objects) 'know' about each other WITHOUT programming specific interaction.
Okay imagine this, you have a space game and the following objects
[CODE]...............
Now each one of these objects has a Health, X,Y and Z private members and properties that are all inherited from clsSpaceEntity for argument sake. Now one way of programming collision between them would be to code out the following logic in the main game loop
[CODE].........................
Now this might seam okay if your talking about the simple example above but some of my games have tens or even HUNDREDS of objects that interact in this basic way. Is there a way in OOP to do the following... for each thing that inherits from clsSpaceEntity check against every other object that inherits this type (except itself) and if they collide then reduce health next? This sort of ability for a type of objects/class or whatever to be 'aware' of another and how they are the same/different and interact would save me tonnes and tonnes and TONNES of coding.

or I could do it another way, but how can I check the index of items in a my.setting string collection? like if I want to get the text of index number 3 how do I do that?
I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 with VB.NET, and in class we were assigned this project: A procedure should calculate a 2% price increase on all red shirts, but a 1% price increase on all other items. In addition to calculating the price increase, the procedure also should calculate the new price. You can use the variables strItemColr, strItem, decOrigPrice, decIncrease, and decNewPrice. Format the original price, price increase, and new price in the lblOriginal, lblIncrease, and lblNewPrice controls, respectively.
