Game Programming :: Display In A Label The Appropriate Number Of Dashes?
Oct 12, 2004
I trying to display in a label the appropriate number of dashes based on the number of letters in a word that the first player entered.
Basically, when you click play, the first person enters a word, then the second player guesses what it is. That person has 2x #ofletters of incorrect tries. I just need to figure out how to get the dashes to display based on # of letters and not a preset one of 5 dashes. The original program accepts only 5-letter word so that line of code is Me.lblWord.Text = "-----". I have modified it so the user can enter any # of chars. I tried making the above line with a lot of dashes so it but the leftover dashes will stay there and the game won't end. Here is what i have right now for my play button:
Private Sub btnPlay_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPlay.Click
'simulates the Hangman game

I am trying to convert a ten digit phone number without dashes to one that includes dashes.
4567891230 -->> 456-789-1230
the following code does absolutely nothing.
Code:
PTN = PTN.Insert(4, "-")
PTN = PTN.insert(8, "-")

Is there any way to set coop levels in the .Drawing namespace (or any other namespace, for that matter)?I have made some games in Direct X that were easily shown as full screen apps, but I have returned to the basics of the Graphics class and can find no way to do this. I want to make a full-screen game only using GDI+.Resizing the form and taking away the taskbar is not really what I'm looking for. I just need to know if I can change the moniter resolution as easily as any of the Direct X reference libraries. And a push in the right direction.

Im working on a roguelike console RPG. For those of you that dont know, just google search it.What I need help with is that I have an string array called ArrMap(0 to 19) that holds the 20 rows of each map for display. I also have an array of the same size called VisibleMap that needs to hold which portions of the map are visible and which arent so that when the player switches screens [IE goes from map, to inventory] they can go back to the map and it will look the same. I was thinking of using an array, but if you can think of another way to do it, that's fine.Here are the subs that deal with the map reading and display, so you know how I have things set up at the moment.
Code:
Public Sub ReadMap(ByVal location As String)
Dim ioFile As New StreamReader(location)
Dim ioLine As String
Dim intX As Integer

For example 0-619-15934-0 becomes 0619159340. I'm sorry if this is an easy question but I'm a noob when it comes to visual basic.
Here's my failed code.
Code:
Dim check, i As String
i = txtISBN.Text
If txtISBN.text = - Then
""
End If

I have searched on google and asked friends, but have not figured out a way to add dashes while a user is typing either a phone number or a social security number or something of the like. I am using Visual Studio 2008, VB Windows Form. This is not for homework but I enjoy adding things to certain projects and thought this would be neat to incorporate into one of mine. I am also curious about allowing the user to enter the first three numbers for their area code and then send the focus to the next text box so that the user can type the rest of their number. I was thinking I could do something with the text box text entered event procedure where I would send the focus after three characters entered. Not 100% on the entire idea or if there is an easier way.

I have a slight issue on my program. I have everything in working order except for displaying "You Win!" or "Try Again!" after all text boxes have been hovered. Currently it displays the answer on the first hover because all boxes are already populated with random numbers from an Array and it knows the answer. I want the label to display at the end of the game on the last hover event.

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.

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

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.
