I have two "Game of Life" programs. One uses a list of points that represent the live cells, and the other uses a fixed-size grid. The one using the list of points can zoom in and out, is much more elegant in coding, and has an unlimited size grid. However, it needs to search for points in the list, and the more points in the list, the more time it takes

What events are hit before form_load in a winforms app? Somewhere before the form_load a file called .ini is created and I can't figure out where it's being created. It's just .ini with no name before the extension.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a light version of a Blackjack game. The rules I need to use are as follows:
Ace = 1
Normal Cards = 2-10
Color Cards (king, queen, etc,) = 11
The dealer can keep hitting until it reaches 17 or under 21, he must always stay once it hits 17 or over (without busting obviously).
I know the ace normally should be 1 or 11 normally but I don't want to complicate things, I want to get the main thing of the program working first.
Public Class frmMain

I'm trying to make a little app that displays the battery life of a notebook, and also whether it is charging or not.I've got it displaying the battery percentage and if it is running via the cable or battery alone.My problem is that I have a timer constantly ticking to grab the latest information as to whether it is still chraging, what the battery % is like, however for some reason when it first runs it get's the info but then that's it, it won't refresh the info in real time. I'm confused because the battery can deplete but the program only displays what info it got when it was first ran but if I unplug the power cord or plug it back in it refreshes that info straight away. My code is:
Public Class Form1
Dim psBattery As PowerStatus = SystemInformation.PowerStatus
Dim perFull As Single = psBattery.BatteryLifePercent
Dim GraphicPercent As VariantType
[code]....
The bit I've highlighted in red in my code won't work either, basically I've shaped the two labels to look like a crude battery shape and label2's function is to represent the nobly bit at the top of the battery and I wan't that to change to Lime when the battery is 100%.why it won't refresh the graphical output to the screen?

I'm having 2 problems with my game. 1.) Upon initialization, if I select multiplayer, the buttons are still disabled. I have to refresh to get it to work.
2.) When I'm doing single player, my AI is not working right. When the AI picks its square, it still lets me choose a square with the AI's symbol as if I'm playing a multiplayer game. I even specified in the AI sub class that turn = 1 when the AI's turn is done, meaning it should be my turn.

I'm trying to make a 2D game in VB. As a first step I'm going to make a playing field (a form) on which I will put a character. The character should be able to move up, down, left, and right when you press the arrow keys. How do I start off with this and what should I start off with learning?
I already know the basics in how to make normal apps with buttons, text boxes, labels and so on but I don't quite get how I should start off with something like this.Also I wonder about XNA and VB.Net. Can you use them together or is XNA only for C#? I found some stuff while googling suggesting that XNA for VB.Net had been released.

I am making a simple blackjack game for school.It involves using object arrays and for next loops.I have 5 labels for the player, and 5 labels for the dealer. I have both their totals displayed on the form. I also have a deal, hit and stand button. I also need to follow the rules of if the dealer >= to 17 they must stand and if the dealer is < 17 they must hit. Does anybody have any suggestions on how i can code the dealers turn.I already made it so the player clicks hit and when he/she is done clicks stand. This is my stand button so far:
lblTotalDealer.Show()
lblD1.Show()
Dim itemarray2() As Label = {lblD1, lblD2, lblD3, lblD4, lblD5}

Draw each tile out and present the map on the screen. (ISO) I can even scroll around using the arrows and mouse at the edge of the screen.
- I can click on the map and get the X,Y coords of the tile I am on.... look up the grid to see what is supposed to be on this tile.The only game coding experience I have is using windows forms controls... I've done a few dozen of them. Dice games, card games..
