I'm working on a video game in VB .NET and I was wondering if there is any way to store its high scores online.If there is any way to do this, that would be great, but otherwise, I'd like to know what would be the best method of locally storing high scores on a single computer.

I am trying to create a high scores board - currently i was experimenting with just typing a number into a textbox and having it automatically order the numbers (in labels) from largest to smallest however i cannot get them all to work. either just the first and second (label) works or the second and third display the same number or the second decreases in value even though it shouldn't[code]...
View 7 RepliesI am Writing a Program in Visual Basic 2008 for my High Schools Advanced Higher Coursework Project... The Game its self runs perfectly and i can display the highscores. i just need some help showing 10 hi-scorers and in ascending order.Currently i am using this code for viewing them.
Code:
Private Sub HiScores_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim TmpHiScore As String 'Temporarly stores the data in file "HiScores.lol".
Dim intTempo As Integer = 1 'Stores the length of variable TmpHiScore.
[code]....
The hiscores them selfs are stored in a personalised text document and they are all on the one line. the format of this is NAME:SCORE,NAME:SCORE,NAME:SCORE and so on!
I am in a VB.NET class and I am currently modifing a game. I am trying to set up a High Scores system but a Null Refrence Exception error is making me angry.I am trying to reference a class called GameState which contains the Subroutines and variables to use the high scores. Below is the code for a form that is used to show the current high scores in two listboxes.

I am trying to read in high scores from a text file that look like this
Name1
Score1
Name2
Score2
Name3
Score3
etc.
I can write them out fine, but reading them in I seem to be having a problem with. I have read in the first name ok but when I try to read in the second name, it is giving me the 3rd name. Code below
[code]...
Can somebody please explain why lblName2 is becoming the fifth line of text instead of the third? I realise I have probably not used the correct type of variables
I am attempting to get hiscores into the correct order but.. I am having troble with some of it.. I have this for my sort alogrithm
Code:
For i = 0 To Howmany
For j = i + 1 To 9
If ArrScore(i) < ArrScore(j) Then
temp = ArrScore(i)
[CODE]...
The hiscores text file looks like this:
Code:
Stuart:120,LoL:192,Computer:112,LoL:113,
The immediate window looks like this when its run.
Code:
0 1 , Stuart , 120
0 2 , LoL , 192
1 2 , 120 , 120
2 3 , Computer , 112
2 4 , LoL , 113
3 4 , 112 , 112

I am trying to get this code to count the scores which are the same and tell how many students had the same score. I can get it to add 1 to it but I can not get it to tell how many students had the same score.

I am completely new to VB ( and frustrated) and I need help with my code below What I am telling VB to do is to get the number in the txtScore, store it in an array ( no clue how to do this)Sum of all scores goes to the txtTotal. Then I need vb to count how many are stored in the array after that get the average by accessing the txtTotal divide by the txtScoreCt and show it on my txtAverage.
Dim Scores(100) As Integer Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I am trying today to write a code that enters all the scores I enter in a textbox(txtscore). I think I almost have it but it will not work properly for me. Her is the the sub I am using to list this code. the array is called arrScore.

Dim score As Integer = 0 'counting
'check for valid input

im developing an vb.net application that displays live scores for soccer. Is it a must that i must get the live score from the xml feed like looping through the "nodes" to get what i want to display on vb.net form? is it more customizable with xml? Somehow i saw some website provide the web link to add to site, is the link can be used in my form in order to serve my purpose?
View 4 RepliesI dont quite understand why this wont work i was hoping someone could help, I have got a noughts and crosses game and its all finished appart from the checkdraw sub routine i forgott to write in, so I wrote it out as below:[code..]
Now ScoreX and ScoreO are two variables declaired at form level, I use a very simaler routine for CheckWin and that works a treat. My problem is that when a draw is detected the message box comes up ok but no scores are added to the label control.
I have a datagridview with two columns; one named Names the other named Scores. This is my code so far Dim hScore As String() = New String() {strName, lblPercent.Text}
[Code]....
What I want it to do is sort the scores by greatest value to least value, but the problem I'm having is that the scores are stored as strings so they are being read and sorted from left to right. My question is, how do I store the scores in a numeric array and place them in the same row as the name, but in the second column? The names and scores only need to be stored as long as the program is running so I don't want to add anything to the registry or create new files to store them.
I'm doing a game. I have a form I want to display the game scores on and another form I have that calculates the scores. How do I make variables work from the first form on the second?
Lets just call one form frmStats and the other frmMain, do you get what I mean?
I know this is very basic stuff dealing with arrays, I have been messing this for a while and I'm not getting anywhere.I have a file with a list of 20 number 0-100. I am trying to get a text box to display the number of scores above average when a button is clicked.Using the same file I also need a list box to display the number of A's, B's, C's, D's, and F's, when another button is clicked.
View 10 RepliesI'm making a Pong game and currently when the game ends the scores are show in a lable and a message box pops up saying which of the two players won.
However the problem i am having is i want it so that the player who won has their score saved to a database so i need to know how to get the score from the Lable to save to the database but then also have a way possibly a message box ? where the player can input the desired username. so the database would have two collums username and score where score is updated automaticaly and the username is entered by the player.
I have made it so my code will print out the average score of all the test as one. but for each student i need to have an average score.
Public Class frmMain
Structure TestScores

I am creating a came in Visual Basic Express 2008.It is like MineSweeper but different.
I want to keep track of the best scores from my game and update it from time to time with newest best score.
My game is on 4 forms (Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert Levels).I've created a 5th form (NewGameDataSet.xsd) to hold a datatable called GameTable with several variables (columns in it).
On my Easy Game Form i've declared a variable to access it:But I'm cannot seem to connect, access, display any data from my other 4 forms After declaring the dataset below - I run stuck.Dim EasyGameTable As NewGameDataSet
I am working on an assignment for my Programming Logic and Design class. I also noticed a couple other similar posts but after going through them I still have an issue. I was suppose to write a program that will allow input of three test scores, average them then display a letter grade in a box. At this point the only thing that is being displayed is "F". [code]
View 3 RepliesI need someone with patience and can go through a solution with me from the Clearly Visual Basic book. I'm good with computers and can usually learn things relatively fast on my own time and in my own way, but I'm going to school for computer programming and, with certain things, I learn better with things explained to me rather than reading from a book. If someone has the time to go over this solution I'm doing and explain it to me in a way I'd have a better chance of understanding, I'd be truly grateful. I need a tutor, for lack of a better word. The lab I'm doing is from the Clearly Visual Basic book and the instructions are:
Code an application that displays a letter grade based on the averages of three test scores. Code the application using a function to determine and return the letter grade. If the average is at least 90, the grade is A. If the average is at least 80 but less than 90, the grade is B. If the average is at least 70 but less than 80 the grade is C. If the average is at least 60 but less than 70, the grade is D. If the average is below 60, the grade is F.

I have a routine whereby kids do some tests and are awarded scores. These scores are put in a ListView with their names. The snag arises when sorting! It's ok in single figures but at 10 and over it is no go! It is only in the first column that the scores are put. I believe the method is in collections and compares - am I right? So how can this be simply done? In all the bits of code I've managed to get hold of I get lots of words underlined in blue and have no idea what the explanations mean. Some such things are, "IComparer".
View 3 RepliesI want to write a quick program that fills a 2D array with quiz scores. Consider there is 5 Students and each have completed 3 Quizes. I want the program to display a class average as well as a student average.
I've gotten as far as a nested for/next loop but I am stumbling over the language for accumulating and displaying the average.[code]...
Am to prompt user for # of quiz scores to input, should then create an array large enough to hold those number of scores, set up loop that allows user to enter approp. # of scores, all scores will be integers, each score should be placed in the array.

Public Scores(19) As Decimal
Now This Array is populated with decimal values and i just want to get the index values of the highest and lowest scores.i.e. if the [[scores(3) = 90]] and [[scores(7) = 90]] are equal and highest scores, i want 3 and 7 as integers in return..and same for the lowest scores..I retrieved data from a text file and stored it in Classes.. now i want to relate the above Array and these Classes..
Dim Student1 As New Student
There are total 20 of these classes.. Student2.vName, Student3,vName.. etc etc
Student1.vName = SplitterArray(0)
Student1.vID = SplitterArray(1)
Student1.Score1 = SplitterArray(2)
[code]....
For example, After i get the highest score indexes from scores(19) array i would like to get the name of the related person from Student*.vName Class (If i get 3 and 7 index i the related names would be Student4.vName and Student7.vName consequently)?
I'm working on a project that calls for high-performance networking with TLS encryption in VB.NET. The stock SSLStream sucks rotten eggs; its 'asynchronous' read/write operations aren't async at all, meaning that they'll operate parallel to each other and to the main thread but that it offers absolutely nothing that resembles async read/read and write/write, which means that reads are totally synchronous to each other and writes are too (only 1 read and only 1 write can be done at a time).
I've done a lot of reading on this failing and it seems like MS has no intention of ever fixing this.Hoping a whole lot not to have to write my own TLS implementation. I've tried the Mentalis open source SSL suite, which will NOT compile. I've tried SocketWrench tools which will not compile under VS 2010 (and whose documentation indicates it's in fact synchronous on its async threads too; can only do 1 async read and 1 async write at a time).
What I want/need is an SSL/TLS implementation that actually works with DotNET that actually allows me to do multiple asynch reads/writes over a TCP/IP transport stream. Anybody have any experience or recommendations on 3rd party toolkits or alternate methods of SSLStream I/O?
