Repeat Cards Showing Up In Game And Win Evaluating Code For Poker Game?
Jul 2, 2009I 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)

View 3 RepliesVisual Studio Auto-complete Simulates Enter Being Pressed When Selecting?
Dec 7, 2009Visual studio nicely provides built-in auto-complete functionality for text boxes and combo boxes. I am using the suggest method of auto complete that provides the user with a list of choices filteres by what they have type. The problem I am having is that when the user makes a selection (via the mouse) VS places the selected text into the textbox and also simulates the enter key being pressed on the textbox.In my program the enter keyup event is used to send the text entered in the text box to the a COM port. In order for this to work as desired the user must be able to select an auto-complete option and then add to it so that they can change settings.Is it possible to stop it from triggering that event or to intercept it? I am unsure if it is possible or how to determine the origin of a keypress.
Here is the code for the KeyUp even as well as for the KeyPress Event:
Private Sub txtInput_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtInput.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Chr(13) Then
e.Handled = True
End If
[code]....
The auto-complete functionality was accomplished through the properties of the control, the only code for that was to generate the auto-complete list.

VS 2008 TicTacToe Detect Winner?
Nov 2, 2009i have a two-dimensional char array that holds the values of a tictactoe board.Each element holds a value of either 'X','O', or and you can access the values with something like TicTacToe[0][1]with the first bracket containing the row # and the second containing the column #.
Whats the best way to detect the winner of a TicTacToe game? I was thinking about just making a function like this Private Function checkWin(Byval TicBoard as Char[][]) as Integer 'Return 0 if no winner, 1 if Player 1 wins, and 2 if Player 2 wins End Function Any ideas? I want to avoid using 8 if-else statements since that seems pretty inefficient and sloppy

Game Of Pig Code Assistance
Feb 14, 2012I need assistance with a program we have to do in programming class. It is due soon and I am stuck on how to code it and if the extra button is necessary or not. The game is called the Pig Game where each turn, a player repeatedly rolls a die until either a 1 is rolled or the player holds and scores the sum of the rolls (i.e. the turn total). At any time during a player's turn, the player is faced with two options:roll - If the player rolls a
1- the player scores nothing and it becomes the next player's turn.
2 -the number is added to the player's turn total and the player's turn continues.hold - The turn total is added to the player's score and it becomes the next player's turn.The first player to score 100 or more points wins. More info is here: url...
I have no idea where to go from my current position. I think I coded most of it though. I will attach the files in a zip folder for all to see my form and code.The main problem here is: I just need the code to be fixed, so it works and so I don't fail the class. Attaching the new version in a zip file would be nice but you don't have to do that, or you could just tell me the code and form layout directly on here!

Conditional Code Checking In A Card Game?
Jul 16, 2011I have conditional code checking in a card game Im working on and it just feels wrong.I m looking for a better way.Right now, all my functions return a card. If I get a card Im usually done and can fall out of my nested structure.If I dont get a card I have to test a condition If card is nothing.And this condition gets repeated ad-nauseum.Here is a small sample of the code.
card = FindMaxTrump(playableCards)
If Not card Is Nothing Then
'If we found a trump at all[code]....
This might be a fine way to do it, but the constant check for a null card is what has me wondering if there is a better approach I'm missing.

Game Programming :: Openfiledialog Breaking Program ?
Apr 10, 2009I have used the openfiledialog on numerous occasions, and it has never caused a problem. (This is also happening to savefiledialog as well...) Put simply, its breaking my application..
Code:
Private Sub LoadMapToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LoadMapToolStripMenuItem.Click
[CODE]...
Even this bare minimum code, is causing most of my application to stop working. I have an onpaint method which should be drawing my map, it starts throwing exceptions(file not found), I checked my paths they are correct, I have a listbox linked to a picturebox, clicking a image' name in the listbox, loads the corresponding image to my picturebox, this stops working too..The program isn't hung, I can navigate my listbox, open menu's etc,.. It's breaking everything that has to do with images. I would post code, but, it's quite extensive, and the problem seems to be centered on the opensave dialogs.. (again, I have used this same code without trouble, so many times I have lost count, I'm at a loss as to why its acting up now...) Well, for now I created my own open file dialog, its a little crude compared to the real one, but, mine works..(ie, a standard dialog control, Ok, Cancel, with a ListBox loading the file names..)
Higher Or Lower Card Game Program?

I have my game set up and in place, however I am having trouble keeping track of the cards that have already been drawn from the deck. I am only playing with one deck and need to make sure that once a card is drawn it is placed in a discard pile and will not be drawn again. I did not post my code due to other students in my class using this forum for their version of the assignment. If someone would be willing to take a look at my code I can send it to you via private message.
View 1 RepliesWrite A Little Program To Allow Editing A Game File?
Jan 27, 2012I've been banging my head for a while now and just can't seem to figure out what the problem is here. I have not really worked with XML much and thought it would be good to do some work with it in order to have a better understanding. I decided to write a little program to allow editing a game file. I found some examples on the net of basic XML functions and tried to use one of them in my program.
The Xml file I am working with is huge so I will show just enough to give an idea of the format.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Proto version ='2'>
<Unit id ='0' name ='InvisibleProjectile'>
<DBID>20</DBID>
[Code]...
I have tried different text in the select nodes portion, such as "proto" "/proto" and the above but in every case I get a count of 0 on the node list and nothing is displayed in my textbox.Each <Unit> is roughy 30-35 lines and the file has over 59k lines of units so clearly the count should be rather high but always 0.
