Im making a text based game that i need to randomly select different numbers of lines from a text file then pass them to a list box. The text file is made in the following format:
20058,v,o,ED,95
20059,v,o,TI,95
20060,v,o,TI,95
20061,v,o,SL,95
First the code needes to identify the 4th element then randomly select lines from lines that contain that element. Im stuck on how to randomly select lines from that list.This is the code i have so far.

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 have this to read a random line from a .txt file[[code]....
View 3 RepliesI 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
How 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. I want all new random points to be within the bounds of this large playarea (picturebox). Foodarea is my big picturebox which i want all fruit to spawn WITHIN not outside on it's edges.

I have a question about collision, yes my 2d tile rpg's map collision works just fine, but im having trouble with the collision with my npc's. At the start of the game it loads all the map data from a text file. well it also loads the location and other stuff about the npc's onto the map from a text file. how do i detect the collision of the npc's that were loaded from the text file, i could do collision with hardcoded npc's but i want to avoid hardcoding the game content into the game engine. RESTATING MY QUESTION: How do i detect the collision of NPC's that i load onto my 2d tile map from text file?
View 6 RepliesBelow 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).

under the code I pasted at the top, but I get the text on line1 in all labels, like all labels become 1, while the text should be 1, 2, 3 and so on. So anyone can help me do that, each label gets the value of the next line in the txt file
I got a little program that generates a random line of text from a .txt file and all is working well, at least for the most part.
On occasion I get an error message popup saying "Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: Index."
Here's my code:

The last bit is where the random number is generated, which I am guessing where the problem itself is, but am unsure as to how to fix it...

I know this is my first post and Im very sorry its a question right away. I apologize for this, but I felt that I have to ask, I was searching all over and couldnt find answer, probably I just need help to define the keywords..searching for a name of a monster in some game and move the mouse onto it. Example: In middle of the screen, there is monster named: AAA I would need the program to search for the name "AAA" and move the mouse onto it.
