Two Dimensional Array Poker Game In Visual Basic
Apr 24, 2012
I have finally been stumped this semester in my Visual basic course. Mainly because I have to write a program that is started from something that I have not created. I have to create a program that will take in info from the user, then spit out the poker hand that they are holding. For instance, the user will type in 1 for ace, 2 for 2, 3 for 3......10 for 10, 11 for Jack, and then in the next column type in C for Clubs, S for Spades.. and so on. Here is the code I have been given:

I am very new to this whole programming thing and I have read several books and many websites but I can't get a good start on creating a video poker game. I understand that I need to create classes, but have no idea how to start. Most of the things I have been reading have been for Visual Basic 6.0 and it appears hard to understand. I am looking for some type of tutorial of how to create the classes I need and how to get the actual information from the classes into my form. Can anyone out there provide me with a good starting point? Is there any good (and easy) code out there to get me started. I feel that if I can get a good starting base, I can learn from there.

I am working on a poker game and I have the game setup the way I want it in terms of graphics and I have the code programed to deal the cards out exactly how I want them. Granted, the code is very simplistic, but functional for a new programmer like myself. I'm sure there are other more efficient ways to code my game, but I like mine so far because I can at least understand the majority of it. With that being said, here are a few problems and questions that I have.
1. How come when all 12 cards are dealt out I have some cards repeating in the game? For example, I get queen of diamonds in more than one picture box when I only want the card to be dealt once and then removed until the next game.
2. I was hoping to have a button 3 to clear all the boxes, basically resetting the game to the next game. When I hit button 3 it only clears the contents of picturebox 10 and 12.Other notes: I have the deal down the way I want it. It deals the first 10 picture boxes and a second button deals the 11 and 12 picture boxes.
3. I know this is my next step so I want to post it with the code I currently have. I want to start taking my project one step further by evalutating each of the three rows of cards (3 rows of 3 cards each - I'm not worried about the dealers hand (picture box 10, 11, 12 yet). So I want to evaluate a row of pictureboxes against a "pay scale" and display the win in a text box or label next to the 3 card hand. For example, Q of diamonds, Q of Clubs, Q of spades would win 15, etc. ( have a weird feeling I may have to change the names of the cards (I have them named card1, card2, etc. right now) to something that identifies them in order to evaluate the hands.
Here is the code that I currently have. I'm using visual basic.
Public Class Form1
Dim Rndm As New Random
Dim myPB(11) As PictureBox
Dim HiddenCards As New List(Of String)

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:

when the user runs the program for the first time, it will ask for his name. After his name has been entered and he clicks Ok, the main menu comes up. From there he can click Start to begin the first level of the game. After he finishes that level, I want the application to save his progress so it knows what level he last finished. Then when the user decides to quit the application entirely and restart it, I want the application to skip the name dialog and go straight to the main menu since he already has a saved game. Then when he clicks start, it will start off with the last level he finished.
I also added an option in the main menu where the user can reset all his data. So next time the application starts, it will ask for his name as if it was starting up for the first time.

I am trying to develop a poker game and I followed the follwoing tutorial -[URL] It works awesome for the logic but I am looking one more functionality to enter the first two cards by the user instead of automatically creating it. I am fairly new to VB coding and this program is too advanced for me to understand.

I'm sitting here with a print out of the class deck, class hand, and cardgameframework from the blackjack starter kit for visual basic and I'm lost as to where I need to go to use the above mentioned classes. I am looking to create a simple poker game using these classes as a base. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just something functional. Starting off I would like to hit a deal button and have it deal 5 cards into pictureboxes and then give me an option to (mouse click) hold any number from 0 to 5. Once I have clicked the cards to hold, I would like the program to deal new cards into the other pictureboxes. If I could get the program up to that point it would be a great place to start. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Has anyone used the cardgameframework before?

okay, so i'm making a poker game, and i need to determine a winner. what i was thinking, to determine a winner, was to assign each card a number which will identify it. then read all the card identifiers as a whole, and that would identify the hand. i can then use the hand identifier to refer back to something which has all the hands ranked. i think probably and e num would be the better option (simply because it keeps everything in-game) but if something else proves a better option, i'm willing to change.
so basically, i'd like to know if this is a good choice, and if it is, how i'd go about doing it. also, i know there's a way i can automatically create each hand identifier, so any idea's on that would be great.

OK as far as I know there is no control array in Visual Basic 2005 So how do I do this. I want to change the color of an array of pictureboxes some red some green almost like sending an SOS message. So I already have a string of ones and zero's like 11000110001001100011......these are already in an integer array........ARRAY(40) ......but now I need to transfer this data to an array of pictureBoxes by turning them Red or Green to show the message. I just wanted to place the integer array and the PictureBox array in the same.......

I have a string containing many lines. Each line has many values separated by commas. Basically it's in CSV format. The number of lines is variable but the number of columns is always 7.
I can get each line into a one dimensional array using Split(Var, Chr(10)).
I'd like to make it a two dimensional array where the second dimension contains each comma separated value.
I've got
Dim VarArray1() As String = Split(VarText, Chr(10))
Dim VaryArray2(0 To VarArray1.Length - 1, 0 To 6) As String
Is there a quick way to get the contents of VarArray1 into VarArray2. I know I can do the following.
For Counter = 0 to VarArray1.Length - 1
Dim line as string = VarArray1(Counter)
Dim Values() as string = Split(line, ",")
For Counter2 = 0 to 6
VarArray2(Counter,Counter2) = Values(Counter2)
Next Counter2
Next Counter
But is there a quicker way to do it that doesn't require passing through each element of VarArray1 and then passing through each element of Values.
The eventual goal in all of this will be to find the highest value in the 3rd column (the arrays are strings at this point because not all columns are numeric). To do that once I get the values into VarArray2 I suspect I have to pass through each element VarArray2, i.e. VarArray2(Counter,2). Unless I can copy the whole third column into a SortedList?

I've small project to do and now I'm stuck in middle. The program is to read the sequential text file and load it into a array/array of structure.The data information is like this (sample):
ID | Name | Type
1 | Cat | Animal
2 | Dog | Animal
[code]....
This is Just as sample data, my original data is more than this.I've open the DATA.txt file using FileStreamReader:
Dim FileStreamReader As StreamReader = New StreamREader(DATA.txt)
Read all the elements in the list and pass through ReadArrayString.Split the string using:
DataString.Split(New Char() {";"c})
Pass through
ReadArrayString(0)
ReadArrayString(1)
ReadArrayString(2)
Where index 0 is the ID, index 1 is the name, and index 2 is the Type Then I load the types in the dropdown combobox menu from the array with out duplication. Like this:
If TypeComboBox.FindString(ReadArrayString(2)) < 0 Then
TypeComboBox.Items.Add(ReadArrayString(2))
End If
Now When you click TypeComboBox it will show drop down menu with following list only.
Animal
Bird
Fish
After this, when Animal type is selected/clicked from combobox dropdown menu then it should only add the Id and Name of Animal type in the ListBox.Pseudocode may looks like this:
If Animal is selected/clicked from TypeComboBox then
Add Cat into listbox
Add Dog into listbox
[code]....
I've only figure out load items from only one column/array into combobox with out duplication.But can't figure out to compare the value of one column/array with another column/array and load it into listbox. I don't want to hardcode or write matching value inside the code. What I want is use the Array.

I've got the following txt file:
[code]...
Now I want that presented in the listbox with the semicolon and it should be aligned per column so that the numbers, the names, the prices and the quantity are exactly aligned per column.If I read the file like this:
[code]...
Then the semicolon is not presented in the listbox and I don't have any alignment per column. As the names of the woods are not equally long the prices and the quantity are not aligned directly below each other...
My questions are:
1) How to add the semicolon in the listbox as seperator of the columns
2) How to align the 4 columns in the listbox (as I have an array Item(3) )
Later on I need to be able to change the quantity (last column) from 0 to > 0 (that's why I have to use an array)

I am new to VB, trying to create a tic-tac-toe game but none of the tic-tac-toe tutorials use 2 dimensional arrays. Since tic-tac toe is 3x3 I created 9 buttons and want either an X or an O to appear depending on where the user clicks. I want one set of instructions to handle the multiple buttons. I was told to use Case statements.
This is what I have so far. Not sure how much is right but hopefully it gives you an idea of what I am looking for.
