A fiend of mine and myself are working on a simple game of tic tac toe and we can't for the life of us figure out the computer part. Can you guys help?
What we want to know is, if the label has X or O in it and therefore is occupied then the computer should place at random an X or an O in an empty label.
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.
[code] I am trying to place random numbers into labels, but the process that i am doing is taking way to long, just wondering if there is an easy way around this? I also need to know the answer to the sums that get placed into the labels and then check that against the answer in the text box.I have looked all over the DIC forums and nothing meets my queries.Please help, this is just a quick program for my son so that he can get some sums into him.

So basically what I am trying to do is, take the id value of the row that is clicked and place it in a label outside of the gridview, however, when I do this the label come up with no text. I think my problem is that x is not being set to the exact row that is being clicked.
Dim x As String
Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs)
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
Dim id As Label = CType(e.Row.FindControl("id"), Label)
Dim button As Button = CType(e.Row.FindControl("button1"), Button)

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?

i am a complete beginner in VB, I need help for a very simple cards game that I am doing. I need to associate a random picture to a Picturebox every time that I click on a button. I can set the visible property to the picture, but it is always the same picture that shows up, and I would like it to be randomly generated instead, (from a series of card pictures that I have in a folder.)

I 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

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
I am using Vb 2010 I am trying to make a matching game. My problem is I have picture boxes 16 to be exact. I want each one to randomly go to a certain place I have already picked on the form. That means that I have 16 places already picked and I have made point variables for all 16. I can not seam to randomize the picture boxes to be placed in only those 16 locations.

Below 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).

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 have 3 label and 1 button and need to create random number in each label after the button is pressed, the numbers don't need to be unique but cant have all 3 labels with the same number, I have looked around the web but can't find the code I am looking for.

This is the code i have:

Dim RandomNumber As Byte
I don't know if you can tell what I am trying to do here, so I will try to explain. I what to create for random numbers and place them into for different text boxes. I also would like to do this with combo boxes and their selected indexes. So if the combo box has 10 items in it; the new selected index would be the random number generated above.
