I am converting an agent based programming language into a VB format. The agent based programming creates different agents (people) that each one of them has a distinct attribute (ex: ____, age). So if I have 5 agents, then there maybe male/female and a number assigned to each person. I thought about create an array for each agent, but I don't know how many arrays I should have because the agent based programming creates random number of agents.
I am reading the memory from a game and I have managed to find the x,y,z values of the player (z is irrelevant). Now I am trying to make some sort of a waypoint system and I thought it would be best to make a small coordinate based map that will act as a birds-eye view of whats going on ingame. But I don't know where to begin creating this thing, since it needs tons of xyz values.Just throwing this in here since I've already made the thread:I also want a small circle to represent the player that will turn, facing waypoint 1 and move in a straight line towards it.
Well this is a re-post now as nobody replied in the gaming section, and i believe this question could go as a normal VB question, therefore I'm asking in this category instead.I have decided to pick up on programming and want to make a text based RPG Game i will "upgrade" as my programming knowledge grows.I got some ideas that i think i should use, but i want you guys' opinions on it.I assume I'll use different classes for each monster, which will have properties.Should those monsters then be inside a list of all possible monsters, or would i have a monster class which i would use and generate the enemies when needed? And would i use the same approach on items and character stats?
I think that my previous post wasn't what I should have been asking. I think my issue has to do with Convert.ToString in my code I have this 3 times, I have no errors while writing the code, only when I debug it I get the error message "input string was not in correct format"
I have the following routine (that works) but which is messy to update owing to the hand-typed strings it uses:
Private Sub ListDefaults() Dim conn As New SqlConnection( _ "server=bas047AUTODESKVAULT;Database=DWGDetails;Integrated Security=SSPI") 'Dim conn As New SqlConnection( _
I am currently doing my Honours in Computer Science and taking Artificial Intelligence as a subject. As part of completing the subject I have to develop my own basic intelligent agent.
I have yet to rap my head around what I actually have to do for this project. I am not the most technically gifted programmer and I have no idea of what to do or where to start
everytime I do something it's always get changed back to nothing.
WebClient.Headers(HttpRequestHeader.UserAgent) = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; EasyBits GO v1.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; Tablet PC 2.0; InfoPath.3)"
Im using the webbrowser control in my application, but i want to permanently change the user agent when im navigating to sites.
I have tried the extended use of the .Navigate function for the webbrowser, but when the user navigates the browser, or when im beeing redirected by the site it goes back to the vb user-agent info.
Alternatly: Is there any way to catch the postinfo and http headers when the webbrowser control navigates to a new url?
change user agent permenantly in my app? i currently use webbrowser control only to browse 1 site which needs to be on mobile skin to look decent in my app.the only way i can do this, is if i change user agent to mobile device like apple iphone (example)so i tried this:
vb WebBrowser.Navigate("http://se-board.com/index/index.php", "_self", Nothing, "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko)
I am using GET and POST webrequests and am trying to set the User-Agent.
Public Sub getpost(ByVal URL As String, ByVal method As String, ByVal postdata As String) Dim request As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create(URL) If method = "POST" Then request.Method = "POST" Dim byteArray As Byte() = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postdata) [Code] .....
The above is what I tried to set the user-agent but it returns an error saying that I'm not properly setting it.
I'm using this code to download a file can I add User Agent String so protocol analyzers could have info about this download with a custom string I make.
I'm currently using SQL Server 2005 and I've created a business intelligence solution that has a "Package1" copying a table from a database to my local database. I tried executing this package/solution from my .Net IDE and it worked.
Later, I tried creating a job that will execute the package at the intervals of 1 hour per day using SQL Server Agent but when I get to the part where I select the type of job (under the "Job step property", I can't find the job type of "SQL Server Integration Services Package". I've been following this: http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1180 tutorial but I can't execute my job probably because I'm using an incorrect job type.
I'm new in multi agent system...I have been assigned to do a project by using agent.The problem is how to create an agent that can check either the document submitted by user is relevent to the topic have been set by the administrator
I have recently taken a liking to programming, and have programmed a few games in C#,my friend has asked me to program an application for him to use in his shop. But I have no idea of what language is best suitable?
I have an ASP.NET application with a SQL Server back end. I am storing all my dates in UTC format and doing the appropriate conversions to the local time zone of the browser viewing it. One of the pages asks for a start date and end date (no times).
I am taking the start date and setting the time to 00:00:00 hours (midnight) and I'm taking the End time and adding a time of 23:59:59, so that the date range covers the whole day. Now what I'm trying to do is do a SQL query to do a search for records in this date range. The problem is, the data in SQL is in UTC time and the user is typing their dates and times in their local date and times. My quickest solution was to convert the date and time to UTC, then search the records. However, by doing this, I am to believe ASP.NET converts the given time and date to UTC based on the server time zone. How can I convert a date and time to UTC time based on the time zone of the user?
I 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.
I am creating a project in VB.NET in which one of the reports require that the name of employees should be displayed as column names and whatever work they have done for a stated period should appear in rows below that particular column.Now as it is clear, the columns will have to be added at runtime. Am using an ODBC Data source to populate the grid. Also since a loop will have to be done to find out the work done by employees individually, so the number of rows under one column might be less or more than the rows in the next column.Is there a way to create an empty data table and then update its contents based on columns and not add data based on addition of new rows.
what WPF based apps are?Is it an application that runs under Silverlight? If so, how?I know; Windows Forms based apps,console apps,DLL _ Class Library Projectsand I've had an introduction to ASP.Net.What I mostly want to know is, if WPF apps are for Silverlight then do they also run in a server based fashion like anASP.NET website would when you create ASP.Net webpages?Is it a way of creating what looks like a FORMS BASED application but it runs in a browser instead or what?Please enlighten me a bit further as I have no idea what WPF is all about.
