I have to make a mastermind game in VB 2008 using procedures and functions and not using any public variables. There are 5 procedures and functions:
1)Sub ChooseColors (intPeg1Color, intPeg2Color, intPeg3Color) which generates unique numbers to represent the colours for the secret arrangement of the coloured pegs.
2)Sub GetGuess(intPeg1Guess, intPeg2Guess, intPeg3Guess, blnDuplicateGuesses) which gets the unique guesses of the three peg colours from the user.
3)Function CorrectPegs(intPeg1Guess, intPeg2Guess, intPeg3Guess, intPeg1Color, intPeg2Color, intPeg3Color) which calculates the number of correct pegs chosen by the user.
4)Function CorrectColors(intPeg1Guess, intPeg2Guess, intPeg3Guess, intPeg1Color, intPeg2Color, intPeg3Color) which calculates the number of correct colors chosen by the user.
5)Function HasDuplicates(intPeg1Color, intPeg2Color, intPeg3Color), called from ChooseColors(), which returns True if any of the peg colours is a duplicate with any other peg colour.
Here is my code so far:
Mastermind
Private Sub btnDone_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDone.Click
If MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to exit?", "Confirm exit", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Stop) = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes Then
[Code] .....
How I can get the variables from ChooseColors (peg1Color, peg2Color, peg3Color) and the variables from GetGuess (peg1Guess, peg2Guess, peg3Guess) and use them for the functions, CorrectPegs and CorrectColors.
I'm trying to make a mastermind game program with visual basic. I started of creating the combination maker for the start of the game. Hoever, in my version i don't want any colors to repeat. I used the random function independently to get numbers from 1 to 6. Each number has a corresponding color. The problem, the values still repeat sometimes.
Here's my code for that part:
Randomize
a = Fix(Rnd * 6) + 1
txtA = a
If a = 1 Then

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)

There is something wrong with this line:
If intPlayerCardTotal < intScore And intComputerTotal < intScore Then

WHERE IS MY Problem. Develop a COMPLETE algorithm using pseudo code to solve the following problem: Your network contains hundreds of workstations. The primary local drive (C on each of those workstations may contain many folders immediately under the root folder. You need to search each of the folders under the root folder on each of the workstations to see if the file nasty.bug exists. You need to do two things with respect to this file. First, count the number of times this file is actually found and, after all the workstations have been scanned, display a message indicating the total number of occurrences of this file across your network. Second, whenever the file is found, it should be deleted.

I have no idea where to go from my current position. I think I coded most of it though. I will attach the files in a zip folder for all to see my form and code.The main problem here is: I just need the code to be fixed, so it works and so I don't fail the class. Attaching the new version in a zip file would be nice but you don't have to do that, or you could just tell me the code and form layout directly on here!

I'm trying to develop some AI code for a game I'm creating. I have a list of x,y coords and I need help figuring out what I can use/do to build the shortest path between any 2 points in this list. I would like to build a function that I can pass a list of valid X,Y coords to use when generating the path, start point, end point, and have it return a list of points, which would be the shortest path between the start and end point, using the list of points supplied. I have looked at A* and Dijkstra's, but am having problems implementing the algs in code, as all this seems graph based.

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'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.

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.
