VS 2008 - Building A Game - (text Based) "if Main.currentpowerget.text <= "7" Then ...."
Aug 5, 2009
Im having a hard time getting this to work. Im building a game in .net vb (text based) and where it says "if main.currentpowerget.text <= "7" then ...." when that textbox is between the numbers 1-9 it works but as soon as it hits the number 10 it stops working and shows the msgbox that says you ran out of power.
Private Sub robbank_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles robbank.Click
If Main.currentlevel.Text >= "3" Then
[CODE]..............
Here is another code from the same game im making just another event that works just fine when the text box is above and below 10
Private Sub attackaboy_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles attackaboy.Click
[CODE].......................

Yup,not PHP but it's the same for readability)As you may imagine I want to make a simple text based rpg game, but that's not an important fact.The buttons btn1 to btn3 are already created at the designer, and there are going to be other procedures which will assign values to their text property according to the game context (main menu, combat, shopping, training, etc.) you're at.Ok, so what I want to do with that procedure I pasted is to parse the text of ANY of those buttons when I click them, and according to its value select a case which will trigger another appropriate procedure (now there are only msgboxes as placeholders for testing only).My problem is that I dont know how to refer to the originating class of the handled event! I mean, let's say I click btn2. I'll want to immediately get the text property of that button only and use it as the value for the select case tree. I suppose I need to put something at that ?I wrote there, but I don't have any idea. The first time I was so naive to put me.text in there, and of course it returned the form name. Is there's something to do this thing...? I thought at first it would be a very simple task, but I'm going nuts searching for a solution so it's like if it was not possible, but I find hard to believe that, because this would be very useful, right? By the way, what I want to achieve is not needing to make a separate procedure for each button and to avoid as well the need to move any game option to another procedure if later on I want to rearrange the menus, because I expect the game to have more than three buttons actually.

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.

Well this is a re-post now as nobody replied in the gaming section, and i believe this question could go as a normal VB question, therefore I'm asking in this category instead.I have decided to pick up on programming and want to make a text based RPG Game i will "upgrade" as my programming knowledge grows.I got some ideas that i think i should use, but i want you guys' opinions on it.I assume I'll use different classes for each monster, which will have properties.Should those monsters then be inside a list of all possible monsters, or would i have a monster class which i would use and generate the enemies when needed? And would i use the same approach on items and character stats?

I've been developing a arcade game, and as every good arcade game, it has an incorporated scoreboard so that players can see who scored better. My problem is that everytime it enters a new scoreline, it deletes all the previous lines in the text file. The code I've been using is the following:
If player1 > 25 Then
objReader.Close()
MsgBox("O " + jogador1 + " ganhou.")[code]............

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.

I have a database with a table that is a child to many other tables. I am using this child table as a datasource for a datagridview. I am using comboboxes to display specific fields in any parent tables, instead of the user seeing the foreign key. Everything is fine. However, I would like to filter the BindingSource based on text matches between any of the fields in the child table and the corresponding fields of the parent tables.

I need to build a rather simple form for collection some information from our membership. It has 4 Text boxes and one Submit button. The contents of the text boxes need to be emailed to a fixed Address and a fixed Subject. Before I got to fancy I tested the form to see if the email portion worked which I did get the email but not all the data. I am trying to stick with VB as I had experience with it years ago.
My problem seems to be in building the string for the body of the message. Trying to use StringBuilder but my syntax is messed up somewhere. The Fields that I have are: Name, Phone, Email Address: and Comments. They are named in the form as txtName, txtPhone, txtEmail and txtComments. [Code]

I am building a jukebox and it consist of listboxes and text boxes. I have got it so that when the user doubleclicks on a song from the first listbox it moves into the next one. Problem is, when it gets there it should check if there is song waiting to play in the text box and if not move into the text box play position. also it has a timer function to run in between the tracks playing. I have tried deleting and re writing bits of my code but am getting a bit messed up with it now.

I am creating a Pizza Order program as part of my coursework college. why something isn't working.
Quote:
lblTotal.Text = Val(Form2.lblPizzaTotal.Text) + Val(Form3.lblDrinksTotal.Text)
The code above is what I am using to add the Value of Label 1 (Pizza Total) and Label 2 (Drinks Total), however it seems that in the final total it doesn't appear to add the value of Label 2.

I am trying to build a pacman game. Currently I am in the process of building the AI for the ghosts. The way I have the AI working is whenever a ghost enters an intersection, it will check where the player is relative to its position,then it will move in one of the possible directions depending on the intersection it is at.The problem I am experiencing though is whenever ghost is moving horizontally it cannot be sent to the left. Similarly,when it is moving vertically, it cannot be sent up or down.This doesn't allow it to turn around when it is moving to the right or to the bottom. It can be sent right when moving left though. When searching through my code I cannot see why this is.

A similar question has been asked before but noone seems to have an answer.I have an xsd which is fairly complex in nature.I must now create the xml file to be validated against it but I hate trying to interpret xsd. It's all gobbldygook to me.
Is there any way I can take an xsd file and create on the fly an example of what the xml file should look like?

I know this is my first post and Im very sorry its a question right away. I apologize for this, but I felt that I have to ask, I was searching all over and couldnt find answer, probably I just need help to define the keywords..searching for a name of a monster in some game and move the mouse onto it. Example: In middle of the screen, there is monster named: AAA I would need the program to search for the name "AAA" and move the mouse onto it.

Here is the plan/layout for the connection to a database.The biggest thing is that, it must be able to be connected by everyone, and it's pretty obvious why this is a big one, haha. The aim of the database is, naturally, to store all the info about the user required by the game (so each column would have x rows, name, age, etc etc). The program would have the ability to add columns (user registration) and log into them (username and password). They would enter their username password, and it would search for username, and if found, confirm password = password in that column.
So basically, the database acts like any other database, it just needs to be able to be connected by everyone (or by a vast majority of the average population), and be able to be edited (adding rows/deleting rows).I've dealt with databases before, but only local ones, and I've tried before with internet (and intranet a few times), but those ones never went anywhere, so they were dropped.
