i have a question regarding how to developed a multiplayer games using VB. i am a student and beginner on VB world.i managed to create a simple Sudoku game using VB knowledge from the internet and some books.I am fan of Sudoku games published in newspaper everyday.but now i really interested on how to develop the multi-player version using the same coding. is it possible?
i tried to write a script on developed tic-tac-toe for multi-player based from a book using VB6 for an example but got many errors. how to develop a simple multiplayer for Sudoku? i'm using VB 2008 Express Edition.
I am trying to make a two player game.Each player is able to move left and right, aim up and down, jump, and shoot.On some occasions when a number of keys are being pressed at once, some other keys wont register.For example, you can hold a key down to keep moving left, keep holding a key down to aim up(changing the angle), keep holding a key down to keep jumping, keep holding a key down to keep shooting. and there are TWO players at the same time:if both players are shooting, only one can aim down(press key to change angle). but it is fine if both trying to aim up ? Can the keyboard not handle too many keys at once?
I am making a program for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, and When you are in Multiplayer in most games there is a Chat room, or Chat Box. Do you think that there is any way I can reach maybe an API or possibly monitor the Screen so If someone types !Help in the chat box my bot would Respond like "Software by (whoever) other commands" stuff like that. But I cant seem to find any info about API's in the Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK about Multiplayer Chatbox or any multiplayer functions in that matter.
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 trying to create a multiplayer game, but i don't know how to communicate between my programs, what I'm trying to send is some text, which my program can understand it. I searched for it and for making a chat application but found no working results...
I was looking at this example: Basic TCP Communication I was really amazed by this piece of code however it only works in WLAN. I was thinking if its possible to make the same program over internet not the same router but which can be connected to two different countries or any other place except the same network?
Actually I have created a very simple game called whack a mole. In which buttons appear and the user has to click it before it disappears. however I am trying to make it multiplayer over the internet even if i have to create a server from my PC. I dont know if its even possible. The other player should also get the same screen as the user who hosted the game just like real time.
So I'm developing a minesweeper flags game and the multiplayer version is all set up, but the single player version is still under developement. It's important to refer that I'm using a DataGridView, and I'm applying r = tab1.CurrentCell.RowIndex + 1 and c = tab1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex + 1 to see where the player clicks. What I want to do is to make the AI click any random cell when it's turn comes, but how do I do this.
First off I would like to apologies for multi posting as I posted this on the SQL forum but someone did suggest putting it here. Here is my problemOkay have developed a form in vb.net cf using sqlce.

I have developed an application in Visual Basic 2008. I really love the product.I am 99% done but am hung up on a Publish issue.I know the Publish feature is not a full install program - but it handles downloading the application prerequisits so well I really want to use it.My problem is the Install path. It installs my application is the strrangest drectory appdatalocal 615252-191891-919 (goes on for ever)
I can set the install directory to something simpler. Would love to get it in Program Files but will settle for AppData if it can be a reasonable directory name. If I have to tell a customer to look in that directory for some reason I would have to read off about 60-70 alpha numeric characters for the directory path - that isn't feasable.
I've developed a very small in-house web application with visual basic on VS2010. Can anyone give me any advice or literature s to how i can put the site on a server?
I have recently developed and finished a software in which works like aim.But here's the problem, the server worked just fine for local friends because they lived only 25 miles from the server, so it was lag-less.But when uploaded to a web host, it lags every time it pings the server.The server is in PHP, so there's no need to buy a dedicated computer for 400$/month more.Here's the function in which the client constantly calls upon:
[Code]...
I was thinking about recoding the getpage function so that it would connect to a TCP server and constantly wait for new messages which I am still not sure if this might cause a lag if the host is in the US and the client is not(for example). provide me a remedy to this problem?

I have developed a windows application which performs a series of database operations like select, insert, update. I am connecting to Oracle database and its working fine in development system. But, when I deployed this application, I am getting error at StartConnection (which opens the DB connection). After installing OracleClient in client system, its working fine. Now, my question is that do I need to install OracleClient to every user? If so, it will be hectic to do so as its size is around 200 MB and its not possible to ask all the users to install it just for a small application. I have tried adding some OracleClient files like orannzbb11.dll, oraciei11.dll, iraops11w.dll etc. But in vain! Could anyone please suggest me a work-around or a way to accomplish this?

I have been looking for like 3 hours trying to find a dll or anything to make a simple cards game, but everything I find is oriented to C.
In this page A FreeCell game using Cards.dll - CodeProject� they talk about just what I want, but I cannot make it work in Visual Studio 2008 using Visual Basic.net, I don�t know if that has anything to do with the Vista OS I am using.
In the page I mention the author says "There are many good articles on the net on how to use the Cards dynamic link library" and I am sure the good articles are there, but my good luck has make me looping around the same nonsense results so I end up with nothing after 3 hours search.
The game I want to make is just something for a project we must do in class, how to start making a cards game fast and simple. If someone knows about a cards dll that works fine with vbnet, that someone would be my new hero.
