Simple Scoring System For Game
Mar 30, 2012
I am creating a game which has a simple score system which I don't understand why it isn't working the way I want it to. When loading the game the User starts with 10 credits and for every time they run the game it costs 2 credits
This is my code for this below
Dim intCredits As Integer = 10
Dim intGamesPlayed As Integer = 0
intGamesPlayed += 1
intCredits = intCredits - 2
It has no errors but it doesn't take away the credits each time the game is played besides the first time. So when I run the game it will go to 8 credits, and it will stay on 8 credits even if I run the game again.

how can i create a scoring for system for my Maths quiz game made using VB.My quiz game can generate automatic numbers / questions and shows a message box whenever the user gets the answer right or wrong. i.e.when the user presses the check answer button, a message appears stating that he/she go it right or wrong. Then the user can press the next question button to get a new question.

i've created a dance mat game similar to Dance Dance Revolution. It has 4 arrows and when no step is taken it's a binary value 1111. When the up arrow is stepped on the binary value is 1110. I'm having problems with my scoring guide. I'm using streamwriter and streamreader to record the time stamp and the binary value of each step taken and once the game is done I have the file display the timestamps and the binary values. For right now I just want it to add one point for whenever it registers a step taken. This is the code I have that records the timestamp and the binary value. lblBit Value is the value that changes from a 1 to 0 binary. [code] It won't register lblBitVal in this form. It says "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Also, this only adds 1 if there is a file opened. I need to it read the file and at least add a point for each time stamp that is recorded.Let me know if you guys know how I can go about this since my game is almost complete.

I am creating a points system for a game, this is the code I have but it isn't working as I want it to.
Dim intScore As Integer = 10
Dim intNumOfGames As Integer = 0
intNumOfGames += 1
intScore = intScore - 2
The user will start will a score of 10, but everytime they click the button the user should lose 2 points off the score. But my code above that doesn't happen, when the user clicks the button it only happens once leaving the user with 8 points throughout the game.

Im still a bit newb to coding in Vb but Im trying to figure out how to make a simple inventory system for my video game. I need it to do a few simple things and Ive never made a inventory system before so im a bit lost on how to approach it.
Functions Needed:
Player has 40 pb that act as the visual inventory or display the item in that slot.
[URL]
I set up my armor menu to allow drag an drop of the item but again not sure how to even get the inventory system created to finish the armor menu to allow the object to be dragged into its box and remove its self from the player inventory.I think I need to make a array for 39 or 40 in my adventurestorage class. That part Im pretty certain of but how do I set that part up? I have over 200 images that need to act as a item that can be dropped into the inventory.

I just finished making a Tetris game in VB.NET, and I wanted to add a high score system to the application. So, when a user completes their game, they have the option of submitting it as a high score, which will compare their score against the previous high scores, then place it accordingly. I was thinking of an XML approach of doing this, where the user's name, rank, score, level, and number of lines cleared will be stored in tags. Here is what I thought the XML might resemble:
[Code]...
So the program will have an array to store all the previous scores. It will read through the XML, and copy the the score data into this array. Then, when the time comes to submit a score, it will compare this score against those previous scores, and find the proper position for that score, and then save it into the array. At the end, it will then copy all the score data from this array to the XML, replacing the <Level>, <Lines>, and <User> tags in the process.I am however having trouble implementing this, as I have no experience with XML files and everything I've read has been very confusing.

I am making a little game for my friend in Visual Basic 2008. It uses 3 files (gamedataidname.txt, gamedataidlevel.txt, gamedataidgold.txt).
When the play button is clicked, I wrote some code to check if the file exists and display the content of the 3 files. This part works fine. But then I have a 'Else' statement to create the files.[code]...

Yup,not PHP but it's the same for readability)As you may imagine I want to make a simple text based rpg game, but that's not an important fact.The buttons btn1 to btn3 are already created at the designer, and there are going to be other procedures which will assign values to their text property according to the game context (main menu, combat, shopping, training, etc.) you're at.Ok, so what I want to do with that procedure I pasted is to parse the text of ANY of those buttons when I click them, and according to its value select a case which will trigger another appropriate procedure (now there are only msgboxes as placeholders for testing only).My problem is that I dont know how to refer to the originating class of the handled event! I mean, let's say I click btn2. I'll want to immediately get the text property of that button only and use it as the value for the select case tree. I suppose I need to put something at that ?I wrote there, but I don't have any idea. The first time I was so naive to put me.text in there, and of course it returned the form name. Is there's something to do this thing...? I thought at first it would be a very simple task, but I'm going nuts searching for a solution so it's like if it was not possible, but I find hard to believe that, because this would be very useful, right? By the way, what I want to achieve is not needing to make a separate procedure for each button and to avoid as well the need to move any game option to another procedure if later on I want to rearrange the menus, because I expect the game to have more than three buttons actually.

I'm currently trying to write a really simple game on which the player has to pursuit some figures on the screen. Since i'm just writing the prototype version i'm using a Panel wich i redraw 1000 times per second. Now, i want that every level is similar but not the same as past level, so i created a Level Class that contains the game objetcs of Player Class and the Figure Class, wich are the ones that have all the movement subrutines. So, with a Timer, 1000 times per second, i get the input from a joystick, pass it to the player objetc and update the position of the figure object. All this stuff is reported to an internal Panel that every level object has, wich i refresh and then pass it ByVal to the panel that the player actually sees. The problem i have is that after the first level ends, when the second level starts running, i can see the last frame of the fisrt level flashing behind the figures and it makes the game run a bit slower after every level. I tried keeping a copy of the inicial state of exterior panel and use it to clean the one i'm using on the levels but it didn't work...

I have a standard scoring algorithm but I need to help on a piece of code to only execute the scoring algorithm at certain times.I want it to be triggered by dates, but the problem arises if the program is used after 2 (or more) dates have passed, the first date will not be added as the second date is the newest and therefore the one that triggers the scoring algorithm. - The scoring algorithm gets the scores for that week, which are stored in a text file.

[code]Close to no real programming skills (PhotoShop artist turning Visual Basic Beginner)This is a snippit of the code used in my browser. Basically the items that are in the list box are loaded from a text file hidden in the installation directory so a manager (or such) will be able to edit which websites are navigate-able.Here comes the problem though, I have not been able to get it to work correctly it will not block any of the listbox items. If I can remember it will only block the site which is selected.How can I re-code it to make the program block all the items in the listbox instead of just one.(Also if not too much trouble how can I make something that will enable and disable the code)BTW this isn't a commercial program or anything just a project I have been working for ever at home.

I'm trying to create a simple user tracking system so whoever has the program open can see who else has the program open. I know how to retrieve the username and everything. What I was doing was updating (loading and saving) a listbox with a text file on the network with the usernames in it. I can't get it to work right and I think its because the simultaneous opening and saving of the same text file by multiple users. I know this isn't technically the best way to go about doing this but it seemed like it should be the easiest. I don't want to make a huge project out of this because it isn't that important, it would just be nice.

I am reading the memory from a game and I have managed to find the x,y,z values of the player (z is irrelevant). Now I am trying to make some sort of a waypoint system and I thought it would be best to make a small coordinate based map that will act as a birds-eye view of whats going on ingame. But I don't know where to begin creating this thing, since it needs tons of xyz values.Just throwing this in here since I've already made the thread:I also want a small circle to represent the player that will turn, facing waypoint 1 and move in a straight line towards it.

How to develop a 3 tier soution saying this. If you want to make a simple 3 layer system (3tier is for a longtime complete misused by marketing from Microsoft, 3 tier needs something like a Unix computer) However, do this: start a Windows Form project, then do 2 times File -> Add New -> Project -> Class Library while you name one DataLayer and the other BusinessLayer. While the DataLayer project is selected, you do Add New Item and take the Component (give it the name DataBaseHandling). Then while that component is open. In top Data -> and than what you want to select, however create in fact the DataSet and Adapter in that.
Don't forget to set in your main project a reference using Poject -> Project too your two datalayers. It is easy and don't need all those images, those you will see pasing by doing this. Try to avoid to use your DataLayer in your BusinessLayer which is often done, because then those layers make in fact no sence. i am not an expert The bussiness and datalayer in the same solution really? And when he said: "While the DataLayer project is selected, you do Add New Item and take the Component (give it the name DataBaseHandling)." What kind of component should i choose? and what about the presentation layer? how to call one layer to the other,
