I puzzle with (setting uptime-real time clock) calculation.ex. if I want my stopwatch countdown fromtart: 18.20.30 - stop: 18.50.50 = difference time is 00.30.20 that is easy butstart: 18.20.30- stop: 18.50.40 = difference time is 00.30.40
View 10 RepliesSo a timer's maximum interval is 1 which is a thousand ticks a second. A Stopwatch's frequency is 2238906 ticks a second on my pc...
I am wondering if there is a reliable way to trigger an event for each tick of the stopwatch without missing any ticks...
If I can somehow get a Tick event for the stopwatch, I believe I can increase the resolution of my input recorder....

I have created an algorythm for creating a crossword puzzle, but I am not pleased yet.
View 1 RepliesLet's say I have an object that contains a Word property and a Sentence property. The sentence must use the word, and I want to replace the word in that sentence with a link using a public function (say, GetLinkedSentence). The catch is maybe the sentence uses a plural form of the word and maybe the "word" itself is actually a phrase, or is even hyphenated. There's no length limit to the word either. How do I find and replace this word (in ASP.NET, preferably VB) with a link [word])?
View 2 RepliesHow are crossword puzzle grids made? I have written a program to generate a puzzle, my problem is the GUI part.I ended up using Visual Basic (VB) because I'm more familiar with that language.However, eventually I have to write this in Java. So far the only way I am displaying the results in a grid-like format is using two controls Groupbox with a Label inside it.This way I can put the number to the word's clue in the title line of the Groupbox, and the individual letter in the Label. To make the cell in the grid editable (my goal for a different version of the puzzle), I guess a Textbox would have to replace the Label.The GUI for real online (professional) crossword puzzle grids is much nicer than this.I know there is a way to combine controls to make a customized one. Even if this works in VB, I'm not certain if it can be done in Java, therefore, I really don't want to go that route (unless someone knows how make customized controls in Java). I have searched the net and looked in books on games, VB and Java with no luck.I need something that I can grow dynamically depending on the grid size needed to hold the content.

I am creating a puzzle game and would like to calculate the width and height of the puzzle taking into account the original image size and the screen resolution. My screen height is 768 and width is 1366. An example image is 1200 x 1600 and the jigsaw size that works well with this image is 480 (height) x 640 (width). I would like to create an algorithm that calculates the jigsaw size for any image bearing in mind that the screen resolution will change as will the size of the image.
View 2 Repliesthe rules are that same coloured blocks of two or more can be removed by clicking on them. blocks then slide down from above. if a column is empty columns other columns move in from the sides.when someone clicks on the green blocks in the bottom row the columns should slide in from the sides. columns to the left of the black line slide right and on the right of the black line slide left. so in this case only the two rightmost columns should slide from the right to the black line after removing the green blocks.The problem i am having is in designing a suitable algorihm to do the collapsing after the removal. my current approach is to test each column from left to right to see if it is empty. if it is empty then i slide whatever column is to the left (if left of the black line) or to the right (if to the right of the black line) over the blank column and repeat this in the direct i am sliding from

I want to list the split times in a list box as the user presses the split button and also display the final split time when the user presses the stop button.
