Game Programming :: Openfiledialog Breaking Program ?
Apr 10, 2009
I 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..)

On programming assignment without having any real experience in vb. I guess I don't understand subroutines that well. When the program runs it never goes to the computer's turn and does not update the users score either. This assignment is already in but would like to know what is going wrong. Using VB 2010, and this is windows application.
Code:
Public Class Form1
Dim Myturn As Integer
Dim Computerturn As Integer

So my question is, I'm wiriting a VERY basic dice rolling program for my computer programming class in high school. I'm using a randomize function to generate numbers but I only want it to do numbers 1 - 6....how do I do this?
Dim x As Integer
Randomize()
x = CInt(10 * Rnd())
Dim Y As Integer
Randomize()
Y = CInt(10 * Rnd())
That is my code for my x and y (each die) to generate code, but how do I make it do 1 - 6 ONLY? Develope a game that in which a player rolls two dice. Each die has 6 faces. Each face contains 1, 2,3,4,5,6 after the dice have come to rest the sum of the spots is calculated, if the sum is 7 or 12 on the first throw, the player wins. If the sum is 2,3, or 11 on the first throw, the player loses, and the house wins. If the sum is 4,5,6,8,9,10 on the first throw the sum becomes the player's point. To win, a player must roll the dice until the plater rolls the point value. The player loses by rolling a 7 before rolling the point. I also have another question, How would I set this up to keep up with points and stuff? and the part that says "The player loses by rolling a 7 before rolling the point." I have no clue what to do on that. I'm not asking for code hand outs. I'm just asking what functions and such I'd use to write the code.

I'm not positive if this should be here or in graphics so I'm sorry if I'm posting it in the wrong section.I'm trying to make a program for the game Go. Now before getting upset that I want to make the game go I just want to say that I have looked for months for this specific thing and I still have yet to find it. I want to make something to simulate go so that two people can play on the same computer. The problem I ran into was capturing stones. Stones are captured when surrounded and then they are taken from the board. The problem is that I don't know how to make the program know when a black stone is surrounded.
I have thought of a grid detecting but the possibilites on a 19x19 area are too high for anybody to sit down and program. I have also thought of using picture boxes and the edges to detect other pictures, but there are ways for stones to group together and the opponent must surround all stones to capture them.

Below is the code that we have been working on. We have bolded the parts which we are unsure about - they are producing errors. (its near the bottom)The program is designed to generate a random hand of cards out of our list of them. This program is a smaller version of what we hope to have in the full one - ie. It tries to get a random hand of 3 cards out of a possible 5.
The part we are having errors with is getting the images to display on each of the 3 'picturebox' objects using a loop (so we don't have to type each picturebox individually).

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'm trying to make a simple fruit machine game for windows mobile device.
I can create the game easily enough and flip through pictures in a picture box to display the correct symbol.. but what I'd like to do is do a proper spinning reel, but have no idea where to even start.
What I have is a list of images in an imagelist (or individual files) - what I'd like is them attached to each other and moving downwards, preferably as though it were going around a drum but just them moving would be a start.

Upon changing the field size a game should restart. Upon trying to do so I see the previous grid (e.g. 10x10) displayed on top of the new one (e.g. 4x4). How would I prevent this and indeed start the game fresh?

So here is my problem. I have a vb game with animated sprites and all, and the character even jumps. However it only works in the y direction. So if i'm moving, he stops in place and jumps, instead of jumping forward. I was wondering if someone knew how to make him move at the same speed forward during the jump.

I currently have a who wants to be a millionaire game that I have made in visual basic 2010. Each question is in its own form. Form1 opens at the start, and question 1 is opened by a button click on Form1. The user has to click on the picture box at the side to show the text for the question each time. If they answer incorrectly, it displays a message box, opens an input box asking for their name, and goes to the form with the high score list, Form17.
Upon opening Form17, I want the scores to load and be displayed in the list box. The high scores are saved in a text file at C: est.txt . Upon clicking menu or end, the high scores are saved to the text file.

I'm making a game engine, its coming along pretty nicely, but I'm having trouble with collision detection.. This will be a platform game..I'm using GDI+ for my rendering.My rendering engine, basically draws upon a sprite class I wrote, this class is getting pumped into a collection, then I'm using a for loop to draw the images in the collection..
Code: Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint Try For i As Integer = 1 To SCollection.Count Step 1 Dim Image As New Bitmap(DirectCast(SCollection.Item(i), clsSprite).Filename)

okay so here's the go. i have to design the inventory system for a game and one of the things it has to be able to do is combine items together. the way i went about this was to give each item a binary ID (1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128) so that no item has the same ID. the cool thing about this is that you can combine items together and get a new unique ID like this:
if you have an item Stick with ID 8 and an item string with ID 16. you can say that these two combine together to create a bow with ID 24 (8+16).you can reverse the process and find out that the bow is made up of a stick and a string since there is only ONE way you can get the ID of 24 using binary.hope that makes sense, some of you have probably seen it before anyway the problem i found out with using this is that you can only have about 31items before the binary ID's get too big when using the 'long' type in vb.net, and that's not enough.
one suggestion was to use Hexadecimal. another i liked was something about creating a class that would manage several long data types linked together to create as many ID's as i needed. but i didnt fully understand this one enough to implement it

I read the boundary thread and I think im still lost on how to do this but my goal is to set boundaries so the snake doesnt just keep going off the screen, also how to set a boundary up so the snake cannot hit itself (like in the original snake game)

I have created two fields (Panels) on my form and populated them with grid lines. Grid lines are calculated using the following variables: x1, y1, x2, y2.
Dimensions of each field are fixes and = 240x240, hence grid lines start at 20 and increment in the form of 20 * i (i from 1 to 11).
Now at this stage I have a problem, I want to create an Integer array with 10 rows and 10 columns, and I want each position in that array to correspond to a certain tile of my grid. (I will use that for the AI which will analyse the grid to see if a ship has been hit to work out next move, also see which cells are not available for shooting. For example, a 0 in the value of an array position will represent a tile on the grid that is available for the next shot, 1 will represent a ship and a 9 will represent the area around a sunken ship that definitely has no other ships in it)
As far as I understand it should be done using a function that would translate the co-ordinates of each cell of the grid in to a corresponding position in the array. But I'm afraid my knowledge are quite limited in this area, how can I put that in to practice? and also how can I highlight a specific tile when hovering mouse over it?
