When I use my own word e.g. here "jose" the results are correct but when I use random string it doesnt work the same.
Here's my code
Imports System.Text
Public Class Form2
Dim guess As String = " "
Dim bulls As Integer = 0
Dim cows As Integer = 0

I have created a scrabble game that generates random letters. For the user to type in a word using the random letters they have to type it in a text box.
I want my program to prevent users from typing in letters that are not provided in the text box and to allow them to type in the random letters that are provided.
I don't take programming lessons at school or anything, and I'm starting to (try to) teach myself about random things.Currently I'm making an app that has 3 functions:
-Random Integer (1 to 100)
-Random Answer (Yes or No, similar to a coin flip)
-Random Dice Roll (1 to 6)
How would I go about doing this?At the moment all I know about random numbers etc. is that I will need to do something along the lines of Dim dice As New Random or something like that, but, like I mentioned, I have no idea.I am well aware of the DIC rules that you won't write the code for me/do my "homework(?)" for me, and that's not what I'm asking.
I am pulling a date value from my database:
Dim qfresho = From p In dbConfig.Configs _
Where p.Description = "FROD" _
Select p.dateValue
Dim qfreshc = From p In dbConfig.Configs _
Where p.Description = "FRCD" _
Select p.dateValue
Then comparing these date values to the current date:
[Code] .....
But for some reason its always returning the Else condition - even though the values in the database should make the query true. I'm guessing for some reason its not pulling the results as a date?
I'm trying to read back a string that I wrote into a binary file, but it's giving me problems and I don't know what's going on. I open and read my file using the code below:
ifstream input([filePath UTF8String], ios::in | ios::binary);
int numStringBytes;
input.read((char*)&numStringBytes, 4);

There is a lot more to the file reading code, but it's proprietary and this is the part that keeps crashing. It runs fine loading the first two files, but when I try to open a third file, it crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS at the input.read((char*)names, numStringBytes); line. I don't see any reason that this should crash. I'm writing the binary files in VB.NET using the below code:
Dim myFS As New FileStream(savePath, FileMode.Create)
Dim encoding As New System.Text.UTF8Encoding()
Dim stringBytes() As Byte = encoding.GetBytes("++string")

I need a small bit of help with my Black Jack game in VB 2005. Basically I have the game pretty much complete seems to work perfectly, I have two counters set up, one for dealers games won and the second one for players games won which both add up the results and displays them in a text box. I have another form made to display Statistics, for both 'This Session' and 'Overall', but how do I save the Overall score??

I've created code that generates a random number and validates the users guess to see if its correct. I think the code is good but i'm not 100% sure. I need to add additional pieces to the code and i'm not sure where or how to do it. allow the user 10 guesses. after 10 guesses disable the ability to make more guesses if the 10th guess is wrong count each guess entered & display the count as it increments display each guess along with its returned messaeg into a list box. when the user gets correct answer provide a box to allow them to play again. Re-initialize variables back to their starting status.
a. If the user correctly guesses the number in less than 5 guesses display "Either you know the secret or you got lucky!" in a message box. b. If the user correctly guesses the number in 5, 6, or 7 guesses, display "Ah Ha! Do you know the secret?" in a message box. c. If the number of guesses is 8 to 10, then display "Try to do better next time." d. If the number of guesses exceeds 10, then display "You have taken too many guesses."

I was getting weird results when doing multiple splits on a string, so I decided to make a simple test to figure out what was going ontestString "1234567891011121314151617181920"If I wanted to get whats between 10 to 20 in Javascript I would do this:var results = testString.split("10")[1].split("20")[0]Which would return 111213141516171819However when I do this in VB I get 111Split(testString,"10")(1).Split("20")(0)It seems the 2nd split is only recognizing the first character no matter what I put.
View 3 RepliesI am attempting to get hiscores into the correct order but.. I am having troble with some of it.. I have this for my sort alogrithm
Code:
For i = 0 To Howmany
For j = i + 1 To 9
If ArrScore(i) < ArrScore(j) Then
temp = ArrScore(i)
[CODE]...
The hiscores text file looks like this:
Code:
Stuart:120,LoL:192,Computer:112,LoL:113,
The immediate window looks like this when its run.
Code:
0 1 , Stuart , 120
0 2 , LoL , 192
1 2 , 120 , 120
2 3 , Computer , 112
2 4 , LoL , 113
3 4 , 112 , 112
What I am trying to figure out is a simple dice rolling program (I'm assuming it's simple anyway) that lets the user specify how many dice they want to roll and then after they click the roll button it separates the dice by what was rolled so they can see how many 1's was rolled, or how many 2's were rolled, so on and so forth for 6 sided dice.
Say the user wants to roll 6 dice, when the user clicks the roll button the results are 4,3,3,5,1,6. Obviously meaning they rolled two 4's two 3's one 5 and one 6. Now from that result I want to have separate labels that show how many of each number was rolled, so it would look something like this on the form (Except it would be horizontal instead of vertical, but it doesn't work on the forums)
1's: 1
2's: 0
3's: 2
4's: 1
5's: 1
6's: 1
That's just a basic example, of course if the user added more dice there would possibly be up to say 7 4's and 10 5's or whatever. There isn't really a limit to the results you can get.Now I found some code to do let the user specify how many dice to roll and have it roll that amount of dice, but I don't know how to separate the results like I want them above. Right now it just displays the results all in one line on a label.Here is the code that I am using
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim diceCount As Integer = TextBox1.Text
If diceCount = 0 Then MessageBox.Show("Please insert number of dice needed")[code]....
It works perfectly but how would I go about separating the results like how I was explaining? I'm sorta guessing I would use case statements or something of the sort but I'm not sure how to check the results of dices to be able to separate it.
Has anyone ever done this? Is there a tutorial somewhere?
View 1 RepliesI need to generate random strings in vb.net, which must consist of (randomly chosen) letters A-Z (must be capitalized) and with random numbers interspersed. It needs to be able to generate them with a set length as well.
View 5 RepliesI would like to make a program that generates a safe passwords for people to use. I want to make the passwords vary in length, include numbers, letters and upper case letters. I've been able to write code that prints out a random string but it includes unrecognized characters for most passwords. How would I write the code to create a random string that has parameters?

Okay, here is the problem. I am using two strings, they are separated by a comma and a space. Here is the example: Original String: "David, Narkisim" New String: "Narkisim, David" What I wanna do is have to scan if the original string has the same strings as the new strings. When I load the code, it replaces David, but not Narkisim. Here is the code. It is supposed to return an empty string in the end, but it doesn't.

I have done allot so far but now im stuck on this:
1. i have 35 picture boxes on my form
2. i have a folder with 49 images (.png) 7 colors * 7 numbers = 49
3. i have 2 timers 1st set to 3min. second to 2 min.
evrything is good so far what i need to do is when timer 2 starts to start drawing the balls (images) from the folder
It needs to be random and only 1 image each round
I dont get it done sitting 2 days watching youtube videos and googeling about it and still nothing i got it that far that it shows random images but then i get same image 4 or 5 times on the form.

Stuck programming a random number generator game. one is to guess what the random number. I have coded most of it and am pleased, but there are some hitches. a) When running the program if you guess 10 it says," Guess Higher" which is impossible as the num gen stops at 10 (if you guess 9 and the number is lower than 9 it says guess lower . . . which it is supposed to do)
b) When asked to play again if one clicks no it calls you a loser and exits the problem is it does the same if you click yes. How can I get it to simply start over if yes is clicked
c) Does anyone know how to make an image move up or down based on the input? IE if guess needs to be higher the image moves higher? Lower and it moves lower?

I have a picture box and I tell it to appear on a random location on another specified larger picture box.
here's my code:
Code:
Sub P2_AppleMove()
Dim P2ax As Integer = CInt(Int((P2Foodarea.Width * Rnd()))) ' sets the random area of the food
[Code]....
P2foodarea is a large picture box I created. I only want the apple to spawn on P2Foodarea, atm, it spawns on P1Foodarea which is very weird. P1foodarea is a whole other picture box. I even made new variables as you can see P2ax and P2ay, but it still doesn't spawn on P2Foodarea. I have even tried recreating a new picture box for P2foodarea
I am using Vb 2010 I am trying to make a matching game. My problem is I have picture boxes 16 to be exact. I want each one to randomly go to a certain place I have already picked on the form. That means that I have 16 places already picked and I have made point variables for all 16. I can not seam to randomize the picture boxes to be placed in only those 16 locations.
View 13 RepliesHow do I go about doing this? I have currently made this code, but sometimes points are created on the boundaries of this picture box, which I do not want.
