Game - Float Points Away?
May 15, 2010
I'm building a card game called 11-UP. See the game here.I've gotten to the point where I need to make scores show up when the selected cards have a sum of 11. For example, if the card is worth 200 points, then "200" should become visible for about a second and then "float away".
I know I can do this with a timer and the location property. I was thinking of creating an array of 22 timers, one for each card. When the selected cards have a sum of eleven, I enable the timers for each selected card. The timer makes the "score" for that card appear, then move up a few times, then vanish.
Does anyone have a better way to do it? Maybe with only one timer?Also, how could I make the "scores" become more transparent as time advances? I'd like to make them not only float away, but also "disolve."

I am creating a points system for a game, this is the code I have but it isn't working as I want it to.
Dim intScore As Integer = 10
Dim intNumOfGames As Integer = 0
intNumOfGames += 1
intScore = intScore - 2
The user will start will a score of 10, but everytime they click the button the user should lose 2 points off the score. But my code above that doesn't happen, when the user clicks the button it only happens once leaving the user with 8 points throughout the game.

i think this is the right place to post this.i am just learning vb and have spent the last week trying to figure out directx. im using visual basic 2008. i have installed directx i got it to render a blank screen but i cant get it to draw anything. what i have is a program that collects gps coordinates and i want to plot them to screen. i got it to work using gdi+ but i wanted a 3d view. i want a view like a tomtom(without Map) and draw a line where i have been.
this is what i have for creating a vector to plot i think it is creating the vector ok. when i stop in debug and mouseover there is data in it (ie x,y,z Coordinates). i think it is drawing i think i just am not "looking at it"

I am designing a game, in which you have to connect some lines, these lines are defined by the beginning and end points. I would like them to wave, yet always keeping the edges on the two points, also, when you connect 2 lines, I would like them to appear to be one continuous line, which contains the beginning, end, and the point of connection between the lines. To do this I've tried bezier curves, with a random point, always changing, but I noticed that bezier curves only works to 4 points, and the line does not always passes through the points themselves...

I'm trying to develop some AI code for a game I'm creating. I have a list of x,y coords and I need help figuring out what I can use/do to build the shortest path between any 2 points in this list. I would like to build a function that I can pass a list of valid X,Y coords to use when generating the path, start point, end point, and have it return a list of points, which would be the shortest path between the start and end point, using the list of points supplied. I have looked at A* and Dijkstra's, but am having problems implementing the algs in code, as all this seems graph based.

My program works through each cell in a raster bitmap loooking at the r g b values. Actually I'm just working with greyscale so r = g = b. I use the get pixel method to return the 8 bit value of each pixel (0 - 255). However I'm now working with a single channel 32 bit float bitmap. I can't load it into VB. I tried Dim myBitmap As New Bitmap(OpenFileDialog1.FileName) but this fails with an unspecified error when trying to open a 32 bit tiff.
The question is: which graphics format will allow me to load a 32bit bitmap into VB, and if I succeed will the getpixel method return 32bit float results for the greyscale level for each pixel?

Deviding an int by zero, will throw an exception, but a float won't - at least in Java. Why a float have an additional NaN info, while int haven't?

I am trying to assign a specific width to my image in asp.net (using vb.net). So I used the next code:
<asp:Image ID="PercentageImage" runat="server" Height="7px"
Width='<%# Eval("votsGraph") %>'
ImageUrl="~/images/bar.JPG" />
So how do i cast this one? (The type of votsGraph is float.)

OK so in this hex editor I have, Hex Workshop, when I search for a 32 bit float i type in (lets just say) 1. It then spits it back at me in a 32 bit float, but also as hex.
the 32 bit float for 1 = 3F80 0000
I really cant grasp this idea, let alone put it into my program.
able to convert an integer to a float then to that sort of hex.

For example: how could I have 3 pictures aligned to the right all in one row, then when the far right picture is deleted the other two move to the right to fill that space. Edit: I'm looking for this capability for both Windows forms and web forms. I'd be happy right now if I could just get the code for Windows.

I am receiving a data stream which contains 4 bytes of data which need to be converted to a 32-bit float (IEEE 754). This was easy to do in C as I created a union with a 4-byte array and a 32-bit float. Job done. However I have no idea how to accomplish this in VB (pls note I do not code in VB).

I have two dbf tables and must compare them by column (field) types. For example:
Table1: Id (Numeric) | Name (Character) | Salary (Numeric)
Table2: Id (Numeric) | Name (Character) | Salary (Float)
With these two tables program should display message like (types do not match in field SALARY [F <> N]) where F is float and N is numeric.

I am reading and writing binary data through a serial port and must (a) reassemble the incoming four bytes that make up a IEEE single-precision float into an actual float, and (b) disassemble a float into its four constituent bytes before squirting them through the serial port.
I am using VB.NET 2008. In VB6, I could use the LSET command, as in:
Code:
Private Type typByteArray
B(1 To 4) As Byte
End Type
[Code]....
But of course this code won't work in VB.NET. In C it would be easy to handle situations like this by using unions, but VB.NET doesn't support them.

I was working on editing a code for a simple text program, but when running the program for multiple lines, the text being read gets too long or too many lines, the computer slows down alot and almost stops functioning. I am using standard integers like document.lines.length or listbox.lines.count. I think these are standard integers and I need to know how to enable them as Long of Float Integers.
I'm assuming I just change
Dim X as integer to
Dim X as long
or Dim X as int16
But I'm not sure as everytime I change something I get cannot convert to double. The code I'm interested in changing is ...
For i As Int16 = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 2
The list box will only get to about 3000 items or so.
and
For iPos = 1 To xy
If Mid(sString, iPos, Len(Text1)) = Text1 Or Mid(sString, iPos, Len(Text2)) = Text2 Then
JJ = TextBox1.GetLineFromCharIndex(iPos)
This read box will read documents above 32,000 lines, which is the reason for not wanting to use Integer.
