VS 2008 Game Data?

Jan 20, 2012

I'm nearly done in the process of making my first single game application.I'm really undecided though how to store game data

i.e
GameDate
GameMyBalance

Transaction History (date, value, what did I buy???)I thought, remote SQL but there are issues with that and firewalls, internet connections etc I thought XML but I would need several XML files I thought .ini files but they are very old and I think there are issues there What other formats could I store such data in?

Nov 15, 2010

I'm well underway of designing a game, i'm lost on this issue though.

Where do games like flgiht sim store airport information?

I want to store information like this, longitude/latitude - normally i would use SQL Server, Access but i want my application to be able to read it even if the user does not have SQL Server or Access installed.

Class Hierarchy - Data Design In An RPG Game

Aug 10, 2010

how to organize the classes within my RPG project that I'm making. I've tried to implement a battle system but I am not comfortable with my initial results. This is the basic layout I currently have for my classes. [Code] clsCharacter contains statistics pertaining to one character, including magic available to that character to use. Also includes what weapons that character has equipped. clsTeam contains multiple clsCharacter, as well as a list of items that each clsCharacter in the team can use. clsBattle contains two clsTeams. One team is the player and the other is the computer. Now, this is a wonderful way to organize data. However, I see limitations with this approach. For instance, to pass data from Battle to Character, it has to pass through the team class and vice-versa. Plus, if I use Properties, it transfers data as ByVal instead of ByRef, so I cannot guarantee that I'm editing the original and not a copy of the passed object (IIRC)

In addition, I feel it is just messy code to include methods within the clsCharacter class that invoke this: MyTeam.MyBattle.DoAction(). Plus, the clsCharacter might not even be in the battle at the time - I don't won't to bog down that class featuring code that is exclusive for battling when I also need to be concerned about moving around the map, saving/loading data, etc. So, any suggestions? Right now, I'm burnt out of ideas. One idea I have so far is to include a function for the clsCharacter that exports a list of all possible moves the character could make, and if the character is CPU choose the most optimal one, and if Human than wrap it up in some nifty GUI so they can choose what action to take. But at the same time, how do I use that information within the context of the battle?

Class Hierarchy - Data Design In A RPG Game Where Classes Overlap?

Aug 19, 2010

This is a followup to the question I asked here:

[URL]

I understand the answer in the post above, which is absolutely amazing, by the way. It's about implementing interfaces with a class. However, what if a class needs to share features with another class?Yes, that class can an Interface. However, let's use this sample definition.

[code]...

Or, in other words:An equippable item can perform acts outside of its typical usage of a shield or weapon. But not all items can act as a sheid or weapon.I mean, I could create a class that implements IWeapon, IShield, IMagic, IUseableItem, etc. But there should be a better way than returning NULL when those interfaces are called.

Repeat Cards Showing Up In Game And Win Evaluating Code For Poker Game?

Jul 2, 2009

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)

Game Programming :: Spinning Reel - Fruit Machine Game For Windows Mobile Device

Feb 16, 2011

I'm trying to make a simple fruit machine game for windows mobile device.

I can create the game easily enough and flip through pictures in a picture box to display the correct symbol.. but what I'd like to do is do a proper spinning reel, but have no idea where to even start.

What I have is a list of images in an imagelist (or individual files) - what I'd like is them attached to each other and moving downwards, preferably as though it were going around a drum but just them moving would be a start.

Game Programming :: High Score List For A Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Game?

Apr 19, 2011

I currently have a who wants to be a millionaire game that I have made in visual basic 2010. Each question is in its own form. Form1 opens at the start, and question 1 is opened by a button click on Form1. The user has to click on the picture box at the side to show the text for the question each time. If they answer incorrectly, it displays a message box, opens an input box asking for their name, and goes to the form with the high score list, Form17.

Upon opening Form17, I want the scores to load and be displayed in the list box. The high scores are saved in a text file at C: est.txt . Upon clicking menu or end, the high scores are saved to the text file.
