Ordering Number Of Players In Game?

Dec 29, 2011

I decided to take up the task of writing an app for Dungeons and Dragons. I play with my friends and I'm trying to make it a little bit easier.Before every round of combat players roll dice for Initiative. It basically tells the games manager who goes first and in what order the rest of the players go. When players roll for initiative they roll 20 sided dice. On Form1 I have a button that says "Initiative" which opens another window where the manager would type in each players values. Then I want the program to take those values and order the players from highest to lowest in a list on Form1. Kind of like...

Make A 2 Player Game But Both Players Can't Move At Once Unless They Tap The Keys?

Aug 20, 2009

Well I am trying to make a 2 player game but both players can't move at once unless they tap the keys (can't hold the key down or the other person can't move). How would I fix this as well as being able to go diagonally.Would this work?:Declare a bool value for each keypress below the public class thingy. Then use keyup to turn the bool off and keydown makes it go on. Then for the first player and second player I check if they are on and if they are than go to that direction...I think I would need a timer for that part but I dunno...

Game Programming :: Snakes And Ladders - Get The Picturebox3 Which Is The Players Counter

Oct 26, 2009

Ive been working on this for ages now i am supposed to b doing it in c# part i find it impossible so im doing it in Visual Basics

This is my current code atm:

Code:
Public Class Form1
Dim n As Integer
Dim oney As Integer

[CODE]...

Now i have the dice working and all that, the proplem is that to get the picturebox3 which is the players counter, if i do it the way im doing it atm its gonna take ages there must b a quicker way, i am thinking that arrays is suming i should use but im not that familier with them, i tryed this code using arrays:

Code:
bored(0) = PictureBox3.Location = New Point(210, 476)
bored(1) = PictureBox3.Location = New Point(270, 476)
bored(2) = PictureBox3.Location = New Point(320, 476)

[CODE]...

But when i tried clicking button 2 it didnt show the picture box at the right location it showed it at 0,0

Game Programming :: Multi-dimensional Array Ordering

Apr 20, 2009

I have a multi-dimensional array storeHand(20,6) which stores 6 ints. The int at point 0 in each array represents a rank. So the array ends up looking like this:

(7, 0, 0, 3, 5, 7)
(6, 2, 3, 0, 6, 5)
(5, 0, 0, 0, 13, 4)
(8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3)
(2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1)

I want to re-order the array so that the higher the integer value at position 0 is, the higher it's position will be in the sortedHand(20,6) array. So as above, I'd want sortedHand(20, 6) to look like this at the end:

Number Guessing Game - Allows A User 10 Attempts To Guess A Random Number Between 1 And 50

Nov 9, 2009

I am attempting to create a game in Visual Studio 2008 that allows a user 10 attempts to guess a random number between 1 and 50. I have a label box in which I would like to display the remaining guesses as they decrement. The code so far appears below.

My two (I am sure very basic) questions are:

1. How would I pass the random integer generated through the Generate Integer function to the AmIRight button's click function? I was trying to decrement the counter each time the "Am I Right " button is pressed.

2. I would also like to evaluate each "guess" when the "Am I right button is pressed. Is it possible to nest a Select Case statement in a For Next Loop?

vb.net Option Explicit OnOption Strict OnOption Infer Off Public Class frmMain Private Sub btnExit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnExit.Click Me.Close() End Sub Private Sub txtGuess_Enter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles

I am creating a Yahtzee game, the first thing I want my game to do when it loads is ask for the player/players name/names, so that there scores can be saved to a high scores table.I have decided to add a text file to my project as a start and I was thinking of using an array to add the score for the winner at the end of each game.I am stuggling on how to really start this though. I have come up with an idea, I could do with some advise as to weather my idea is any good.First thing, I need to add a text file and call it something like HighScores..Then I need to add a Windows Form to my project and add some controls for the user/users to fill in there name/names..How can I get my Windows Form for the players names to load when the application is started, do I use a form load event???

Random Number Generator Game?

Mar 15, 2009

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?

Guess The Number Game - Background Color

Sep 21, 2009

I need to make a "Guess The Number Game." It needs to choose a random number between 1 to 1000. I need to change the color of the background to red if the number guessed gets closer to the correct answer. And if you are farther away the background color changes to blue. Basically hot if you are close and cold if you are far away. I also need to know what the default color of the background is so that when I press the start game or if I get the number correct the background color changes back to the default color. I though that the default color was WhiteSmoke but it is off a little bit.

Also, if I get the correct number the text box needs to be disabled. Then, when I press the start game button the text box needs to be enabled. I can't get the Hot and Cold part to work. I was just going to use something like if the number was either 50 off of the random number the background color would turn red. All other number would make it turn blue. Then when the correct number is entered the background color would change to Green.

Below is the code that I have.
Public Class Form1
Dim randomGenerator As New Random
Dim number As Integer
Private Sub exitButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles exitButton.Click

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

Number Guessing Game - Displaying The Range Of The Answer

Apr 16, 2009

I'm creating a number guessing game. [Code] Textbox1.text refers to the answer input by player. There are two labels for displaying the range of the answer within. Label1 and Label2 refer to the lower limit and higher limit respectively. If the input value is smaller than the answer, the label1 will show the number that input into texybox1. If the input value is larger than the answer, then vice-versa. However, the program doesn't work as my expectation. Once I input the answer, the MsgBox doesn't appear. When the input value is smaller than the answer, the label1 doesn't show the input value.

Timer Event In Game - Default Number In Textbox?

Feb 1, 2012

This is code for a game. On one of the forms on my VB program I have a large number of text boxes, the issue is regarding the following code:

Total_Gold.Text = (WoodPrice * TxtBoxWoodUnits.Text) + (MagicWoodPrice * TxtBoxMagicWoodUnits.Text) +
(Pheonix_EggsPrice * TxtBoxPheonixEggsUnits.Text) +
(MetalPrice * TxtBoxMetalUnits.Text) +
(Dwarven_GemsPrice * TxtBoxDwarvenGemsUnits.Text)
[Code] .....

This is contained in a timer event that shows how much it would cost the player to purchase all of the items. This works as intended, until the text box is blank. Each "section" draws information from one of 16 text boxes. My question is this: Is it possible to have each text box to have a "default" number that gets put into a text box when it is empty. This is needed to be done for all of the text boxes, so either a loop or a non specific code slice would be preferred.

Hangman Game - Generate Random Number When User Press Start Button

Jul 29, 2009

i've created a hangman game (Fully working) but since you can only "play" with one phrase (10 letters) it gets boring fast. Basic the current game works by on form load i define the slots (10 string which each hold a letter) and give them there letter. then the user type in a text box and if the textbox = any of the slots then the lbl repasenting that slots changes its text from "_" to the letter.

Anyway what I would like the button to do is when the user presses the start button a random number is generated. The program then looks into a textfile and based on which number is generated it takes a certain line (10 characters per line in a phrase) , moves them into the slots and the game starts. Is that possible to code or it too complicated. The textfile will be in the applications folder (words.txt).

I am having trouble sorting out a list of items pulled out of the databse, by the date stamp they have on it. I mean the table is called Marks with columns Homework_ID, Pupil_ID, Marks,Comment. Then there is another table called Homework with columns HW_ID, Class_ID, HW_name, HW_set, HW_due. The HW_set and HW_due are dates in format YYYY-MM-DD. Right, I can pull it out of database easy what I want but then how do I order it by the date when the HW was set ? is it some tweak in the query ? or do I need to write some code for it
