Im using Visual Basic 2008.Okay I got all the design, and everything set up, even the hangman body parts coming on the screen and stuff. So my problem is creating the BLANKS, the underscores "_", and replacing them with a letter...
I was thinking creating Lables which i have no idea how to dynamically. Then giving each label name the letters they belong to, and everytime the user gets the rigth letter they get replaced.
I am making a hangman style game in VB 2008 Express. I am a beginner and instead of making any graphic related content (i.e. the hang man), I am using a 3 strike system. So far, I am just about finished. Only problem is whenever I choose a letter that is incorrect, it adds 1 to the strike label. The problem is, the second time I choose an incorrect letter, the "1" does not change to 2! The line is as fallowed:
strikelbl.Text = +1

View 2 RepliesI am a student working on the venerable "Hangman" project. We were tasked to create a hangman game that would get a random word from one of three sources either by file, by array, or by database file. I have managed to get a random word to import from all three but I run into a problem once I start to play the game. The program seems to run into an infitinite loop as soon as you enter a letter or it automatically dispays character entered and gives a game over. [code]............

my new game im planning for is a hangman game. I was thinking along the lines of : having a keybaord on the bottom of the form. Then having parts of the "MAN" be invisible and when a wrong letter is incorrectly pressed a peice becaomes visible! Im having trouble with how to set words. (i want more than 1 word so that it can be played multiple times).

my teacher assigns me to modify the program hangman game that allow a player to enter a word that contains any letters up to 10 letters.That assignment is from my textbook, Programming with MS Visual Basic 2010 by Diane Zak.[code]Now here's the problem I'm having trouble with. I don't know if my substrings is wrong or right, but when I type a word, the problem crashes and gives me the error of this.and another problem I'm having trouble with is how can I have dashes to match with the length of words? For example, if I type "game", it'll display "----" in the exe program. If I type "cat", it'll display "---" in the exe program as well.
View 14 RepliesI am working on this hangman project that has a graphical interface where the user has 2 options either guess the entire phrase or use a combo box to guess letters. I have the guess text box working but I can't for the life of me figure out why it is not working correctly with the combo box. The following is my entire code for the project. I have it setup to show me which phrase it randomly selected but when ever I pick a letter in that phrase it doesn't fill it in or anything. I'm thinking it is an issue with my loops.
I highlighted the section where the problem is occurring.

I had this incredibly ambitious goal to make a video game and so I am teaching myself/relying on kindness and knowledge of others as I go along. So far I have learned a lot, however needless to say, this is a monstrously difficult challenge, however one that I am very passionate about completing. The idea is that I am making a trading card style game and I was hoping that I could continue to use this thread and your kindness to keep me going whenever nessecessary throughout this challenge.So, here is where I am now. (Please forgive me if i have posted too much details/not enough details. Since I am new, I am not sure what information you need to help me. This will be corrected as time goes by and I learn more)I have created a card class with two properties. name and picture with name As String, and picture as PictureBox. the constructor looks like this: [code]
My next goal(and where I am currently stuck) is making i so that when the user clicks on one of the items in the listbox, a picture of the appropriate card(saved in a pictureBox of its own on a different form, and referenced in the card via the picture element) will be placed inside the empty picture box on the deckPage.
I am just for learning purposes trying to develop a one player text based game.
I have a rich text box (GameWindow)
I have a text box (InputWindow)
I have a button (InputButton)
and a bunch of labels that aren't really important
I have two questions first is easy probably. How do i get InputWindow to respond to me hitting enter when text is in it?
[Code]...
But if i plan to have more that is only going to increase the size and code needed and im sure there is an easier way i just don't know how to do it.
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).
Well the thing is im making a tool for a game(No hack)the display is like this Name : [here a text box] Time : [Here can be laber or textbox] [start] [stop] [reset] in the first textbox the user who is using the program have to put a player name and in time when they click start in the second textbox or labe it should start countingdown from 1 hour 1:00:00.Stop only stop the time but let the time where it was and reset to reset the time.so when the time get to 0 something should pop up with the name of the player that the user put in the text box like MsgBox Frolox's time has finish or something like that but it have to appear in top of everything.
