VS 2010 Chess Piece Movement
Sep 17, 2011
In an attempt to try and make a chess AI I started working on a chess project. The AI will basically be in a class that implements my AI interface. To provide flexibility this can be used for a human player or a computer AI. In any case the problem I'm having is calculating the valid moves that a single piece can have.I calculate on what blocks the piece would be able to move if the board was totally empty. (this is represented by a array of point)Then I get a list of piece locations of the same team and Except that from said list.(since pieces can move through other pieces of its team)Now here is the tricky bit obviously taking an enemy piece is a legal move I can't just subtract enemy piece positions. Lets say there are 2 black pawns and a white rook in the same column. The rook would be able to take the first black pawn but not the second one because the first pawn is in it's way. In reality there would never be such an easy example so I need a way to only include the enemy positions "In the line of sight" of the piece's moves i'm calculating.

how to do basic keyboard movement in VB 2010 express. i'm making a very small, simple game (as this is my usual method to self-teach a language) and i'm still getting a grasp of events. if someone could direct me to some place i could learn about this (and preferably not a "paste this code in your form") something simple as moving a picture box or what have you across a form would be great.

The code I have is meant to be used during possible rapid mouse movement by the user. It is supposed to get the current location (works), move to specified location (works), mouse down(works), mouse up (works), then return the mouse to the old position.I added the delay because it seemed that it was having trouble registering the click if done too quickly.
The problem I am having is that if the user is moving their mouse during the time the code is activated, their movement can throw the location of the mouse down or mouse up events off even with the added check routine I added.
'Get current mouse position
Dim MousePosX As Integer = Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position.X
Dim MousePosY As Integer = Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position.Y
Q = True

So I have been working on some code that is a supplement to a video game that I play (doesn't really give me an advantage, I'm against cheating) as recreational programming to get me to learn more things which apparently is working immensely.The video game is called DoTA which is a custom map in Warcraft 3.
What I am trying to do is to make a program that can manually click the skills when the user presses the key they bound to that skill. This allows for more precise skill usage as keybindings in the game change randomly which causes chaos.
I first tried using mouse_event to move, click down, click up, return back to original location. This worked, but I ran into a problem that occurred if mouse movement by the user was happening while the code was being ran. The problem mainly would cause the mouse to move off the skill before clicking or even after the mouse down event.
So then I looked into SendMessage and PostMessage but it took a while before I could fully grasp everything about the functions mostly due to many examples posted online being different from one another as far as the declarations.
I now have matched the output that happens according to Spy++ when I actually click the mouse myself with various PostMessage and SendMessages, but am still having an odd problem:
I provide the coordinates to click on say Button 1. Spy++ tells me it is clicking it properly, but I do not actually get a click. However, if I manually move my mouse over that button, even on the very corners of it, and then press the key, it clicks it (although it also seems to work on one other button in the game.) Other than that, it will not click any other button besides the one that the coordinates are over.The game does not have any child windows so it doesn't seem like I can get the handle of the actual buttons themselves.Here is what I have as test coding to figure this all out (the sleep time in between mdown and mup is because the game doesn't register if clicked too fast):
Option Explicit On
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices 'MarshalAs, Marshal
'Imports System.Reflection 'assembly
[code]....
I was thinking that if there was a way to maybe pause control from being able to move the mouse that I could just revert back to the original mouse_event code as well, but I haven't found anything that can take away control like that (actually, I wouldn't even want that posted TBH as it could be used for malicious stuff).
EDIT:The code at the bottom is just stuff I was using to match what happens when I actually click according to Spy++.

I have a datagrid view with 3 columns and variable rows. I have many rows so it is tough to know what is where so, the first row consists of names.I have a textbox in which I type in a name and hit a button. Doing this, I want the location of the that cell in terms of row.no and column.no.
Extended : for the adjacent ones just add +1, +2 etc to the column number right ?

I am trying to make a Chess multiplayer game in Visual Basic. Its a two player which will be played in a normal way and not even over LAN. So far, I am done designing the board.
My logic is: First, on clicking any square, the click event handler will check whether a piece resides on that square. If not, then it checks if a piece is to be moved to that square. If both are negative, then it does nothing.
Now, the problem with this is, how do I code the click events? Also, I have represented the board using a 2dimensional array. But how do I update the positions after every move? And how do I check whether legal move is being executed? One more thing I want to add is whenever a piece is clicked, the possible legal squares should be highlighted.
For this, what I did was, for every click event on any square it checked if there was a piece. If there was a piece, then it highlighted all possible moves for that piece using If-Else-If logic, but it turned out to be too cumbersome and too long. And another problem which arose was, how do I know that if the user clicks an empty square to move the piece there?

I'm basically trying to do a small report card project. I only need to pull 5 Students with each student having 5 Test Scores a piece. The full Code of what I have for the submit button is below. I have actually 3 questions.
1. I always seem to have trouble with them unless I initialize them when I dim them. Is there a better way than below
2. The below code works really well for Student 1 and all 5 test scores. Rather than do that code 5 times though, what is the best way for me to basically state that IF dblStudent1(intMax) = 4 Then Change dblStudent1(intMax) to dblStudent2(intMax) etc.
3. Would this be better suited towards a multidimensional array ?
Private Sub btnEnterGrades_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnEnterGrades.Click
Dim strStudentNames() As String = {" ", " ", " ", " ", " "} ' Holds the 5 Students Names
Dim intMax As Integer = (4) ' Place Holder for Student Number

I am creating a multiplayer chess game in Visual Basic.Net and I need to create tiles for the game. Earlier, I used buttons for the tiles, but then I realized that not only did they look ugly, but the coding part also became a problem. Also, the images of the chess pieces didn't properly fit on the buttons and they became distorted. Also, shifting the image to a different button every time a move was played also became very inefficient. So, in view of these difficulties, I want to build a proper board, but I have no idea where to start from or what controls to use for the design.

I'm trying to, from a client-side piece, call off to a server-side piece. I need to do this synchronously. On my server-side code, though, I'm calling off to another piece of code, which I want to have a maximum of, say, 10 seconds to return a value. If I don't have a response within 10 seconds, I want to force my own server piece to set my result equal to 0, and return to the client.
Here's what I have on my server-side code so far:
Public Function GetWebResult(ByVal inputParameter As Object) As WebReturnObject Implements IWebInterface.GetWebResult
Dim result As New WebReturnObject
Dim webItem As WebItem = Nothing
[CODE]...
I realize this code is not functional. The problem is that I'm unsure how I would go about getting back into GetWebResult to set the appropriate return values before it is sent back to the client.

I am running an experiment that datalogs to the computer. I need to know when there is a change in on of the databoxes. Since there is no way to modify the software, my mind thinks the next best thing would be to design a software that allows you to select part of the monitor's screen and have it refresh very quickly to detect any change in the image in that area.

how to get VB to detect mouse movement, clicks and keyboard presses. I am creating a screensaver program that does not intergrate with the windows screensaver.
The reason I am doing this is because I am trying to invent a screensaver that people can use their custome pictures to see with password protection for their PC when the screensaver facility has been disabled on a domain.

When I plug in the USB joystick, I'll have to go to the control panel and select game controllers. I click on the properties and a pop-up is displayed. On the top left hand corner of it, there's this small square 'picture' with a plus sign at the middle indicating the joysticks' movement. As I moved up, the sign moves up as well and as I move down it does too. It depicts the movements of the joystick in use.
I was wondering how to code the exact same thing as I'm planning to place the square thingy in a 'question' image which will change after every submitted answer of the image using the joystick.

I have a picturebox (X=1200,Y=800) and there is an area in the picturebox starting at (X=32,Y=32 and is 256x256 in size). I want to keep the mouse pointer in that area for awhile.
Is there a command in vb that lets you do this? If not, can you restrict the mouse to one control?
