I'm doing a game. I have a form I want to display the game scores on and another form I have that calculates the scores. How do I make variables work from the first form on the second?
Lets just call one form frmStats and the other frmMain, do you get what I mean?
I am creating a came in Visual Basic Express 2008.It is like MineSweeper but different.
I want to keep track of the best scores from my game and update it from time to time with newest best score.
My game is on 4 forms (Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert Levels).I've created a 5th form (NewGameDataSet.xsd) to hold a datatable called GameTable with several variables (columns in it).
On my Easy Game Form i've declared a variable to access it:But I'm cannot seem to connect, access, display any data from my other 4 forms After declaring the dataset below - I run stuck.Dim EasyGameTable As NewGameDataSet
I am Writing a Program in Visual Basic 2008 for my High Schools Advanced Higher Coursework Project... The Game its self runs perfectly and i can display the highscores. i just need some help showing 10 hi-scorers and in ascending order.Currently i am using this code for viewing them.
Code:
Private Sub HiScores_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim TmpHiScore As String 'Temporarly stores the data in file "HiScores.lol".
Dim intTempo As Integer = 1 'Stores the length of variable TmpHiScore.
[code]....
The hiscores them selfs are stored in a personalised text document and they are all on the one line. the format of this is NAME:SCORE,NAME:SCORE,NAME:SCORE and so on!
I am attempting to get hiscores into the correct order but.. I am having troble with some of it.. I have this for my sort alogrithm
Code:
For i = 0 To Howmany
For j = i + 1 To 9
If ArrScore(i) < ArrScore(j) Then
temp = ArrScore(i)
[CODE]...
The hiscores text file looks like this:
Code:
Stuart:120,LoL:192,Computer:112,LoL:113,
The immediate window looks like this when its run.
Code:
0 1 , Stuart , 120
0 2 , LoL , 192
1 2 , 120 , 120
2 3 , Computer , 112
2 4 , LoL , 113
3 4 , 112 , 112
I know this is very basic stuff dealing with arrays, I have been messing this for a while and I'm not getting anywhere.I have a file with a list of 20 number 0-100. I am trying to get a text box to display the number of scores above average when a button is clicked.Using the same file I also need a list box to display the number of A's, B's, C's, D's, and F's, when another button is clicked.
View 10 RepliesWhat I am trying to accomplish is this: I want to be able to press the F5 key on my keyboard, while playing a PC game, to show (bring forward, focus, etc.) my program. My 3 attempts so far have failed. Any idea on how I could accomplish my goal? Similar posts on other forums say to set the form's key preview to true and use on keyPress... which failed.
View 1 RepliesSo I pretty much built the game, that was the easy part. I am having trouble entering a name on my first form(startup) and keeping track of the score on second form(game) and displaying it both combined on the first page with the current users score. Also the way it set up now if you are running the game for the first time it says can't find LowScores.Text. Start Up

I've been asked to write an age guessing game using vb. We have to have 4 buttons and a text box where the random number is displayed. The range is between 5 and 110. we have a 'too high' 'too low' , 'start' and 'correct' button

Is there any way to set coop levels in the .Drawing namespace (or any other namespace, for that matter)?I have made some games in Direct X that were easily shown as full screen apps, but I have returned to the basics of the Graphics class and can find no way to do this. I want to make a full-screen game only using GDI+.Resizing the form and taking away the taskbar is not really what I'm looking for. I just need to know if I can change the moniter resolution as easily as any of the Direct X reference libraries. And a push in the right direction.
View 5 RepliesTo clarify - I'm building a simple game in visual basic and I'm trying to create a simple file to record and display the "Best Score" from each game. Actually there are four levels in this game (each one is on a different form) - I'm trying to save the best score from each level to display in a separate Game Stats form. Therefore I creating a datatable on one form, but then trying to get all my other forms to access it.
But now I get a new DBNull error message in part of code not of my making - NewGameDataSet.Designer.vb
Error Message = "The value for column 'BestScoreEasy' in table 'GameTable' is DBNull."
Does this mean I need another New Statement somewhere?
I trying to display in a label the appropriate number of dashes based on the number of letters in a word that the first player entered.
Basically, when you click play, the first person enters a word, then the second player guesses what it is. That person has 2x #ofletters of incorrect tries. I just need to figure out how to get the dashes to display based on # of letters and not a preset one of 5 dashes. The original program accepts only 5-letter word so that line of code is Me.lblWord.Text = "-----". I have modified it so the user can enter any # of chars. I tried making the above line with a lot of dashes so it but the leftover dashes will stay there and the game won't end. Here is what i have right now for my play button:
Private Sub btnPlay_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPlay.Click

I've ran out of options, and there simple was no other place to come. I have wanted to make a 3D game for so long, so bad, I can't even describe it. Now I started in C# making 3D games in the XNA Game Studios 3.1 Engine, but I eventually fell through the cracks. Let's cut to the point, shall we? I was wondering if there was a simple way in Visual Basic 2008, that I could maybe display a 3D model on the screen, like a .x file extension, or .fbx, or .obj or anything...? I can easily create 3D models, and I'm good at it, but is there a simple way, or a component/refrence/game engine that you could use with Visual Basic 2008. I know there's alot more to making games then just display models, Why I choose Visual Basic 2008, you ask? Well, it's my best language and I can easily write small games with x, y, z and float positions.
View 4 RepliesI am having trouble with a blackjack game I am creating
I have buttons 1 - 13 (A-K)
I have 5 Textboxes which when the above buttons are pressed displays the values in the textboxes.
I also have one more textbox which adds up the values of the above 5 textboxes to give your Black Jack Total.
The problem I have is if an Ace (11) is in one of the textboxes and the Total Value exceeds 21 I need to have the Ace (11) change its value to 1 instead.
textbox 1 - 5 will be the card values
textbox6.text will be the total Value
I have tried......
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox1.text = 11 then textbox1.text = 1
This seems to work fine however it only solves the problem of an Ace (11) appearing in textbox1.text so i tried to repeat the code with the other boxes...
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox1.text = 11 then textbox1.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox2.text = 11 then textbox2.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox3.text = 11 then textbox3.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox4.text = 11 then textbox4.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox5.text = 11 then textbox5.text = 1
However this does not work and my program freezes?
Im working on a roguelike console RPG. For those of you that dont know, just google search it.What I need help with is that I have an string array called ArrMap(0 to 19) that holds the 20 rows of each map for display. I also have an array of the same size called VisibleMap that needs to hold which portions of the map are visible and which arent so that when the player switches screens [IE goes from map, to inventory] they can go back to the map and it will look the same. I was thinking of using an array, but if you can think of another way to do it, that's fine.Here are the subs that deal with the map reading and display, so you know how I have things set up at the moment.
Code:
Public Sub ReadMap(ByVal location As String)
Dim ioFile As New StreamReader(location)
Dim ioLine As String
Dim intX As Integer

I have a slight issue on my program. I have everything in working order except for displaying "You Win!" or "Try Again!" after all text boxes have been hovered. Currently it displays the answer on the first hover because all boxes are already populated with random numbers from an Array and it knows the answer. I want the label to display at the end of the game on the last hover event.

'Declare variables we want to use on more than one sub or function.

I have a problem in timers, I want to display 2 forms each one after 3 and 5, how to do that? I mean when the first form appears, after 3 seconds another one will appear, then after 5 seconds the second will appear. I have a code where someone gave me here but its for message box only, thus I modify it to put a form still does not work. Here the code I put in the timer below:
Private Sub frmblabla_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
tmrnote.Start()
Private Sub tmrnote_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tmrnote.Tick[code]....
I still have problem when the message box stops, it displays all the forms together. All I want is when the message box stops, then it display the first form then stop to display the second then stop to display the last. The first form must stay for 3 seconds on the screen, then after 3 seconds the second appears then after 5 seconds the last appears.
I am trying to get this code to count the scores which are the same and tell how many students had the same score. I can get it to add 1 to it but I can not get it to tell how many students had the same score.

I am completely new to VB ( and frustrated) and I need help with my code below What I am telling VB to do is to get the number in the txtScore, store it in an array ( no clue how to do this)Sum of all scores goes to the txtTotal. Then I need vb to count how many are stored in the array after that get the average by accessing the txtTotal divide by the txtScoreCt and show it on my txtAverage.

I dont quite understand why this wont work i was hoping someone could help, I have got a noughts and crosses game and its all finished appart from the checkdraw sub routine i forgott to write in, so I wrote it out as below:[code..]
Now ScoreX and ScoreO are two variables declaired at form level, I use a very simaler routine for CheckWin and that works a treat. My problem is that when a draw is detected the message box comes up ok but no scores are added to the label control.
I am trying to create a high scores board - currently i was experimenting with just typing a number into a textbox and having it automatically order the numbers (in labels) from largest to smallest however i cannot get them all to work. either just the first and second (label) works or the second and third display the same number or the second decreases in value even though it shouldn't[code]...
View 7 RepliesI have a datagridview with two columns; one named Names the other named Scores. This is my code so far Dim hScore As String() = New String() {strName, lblPercent.Text}
[Code]....
What I want it to do is sort the scores by greatest value to least value, but the problem I'm having is that the scores are stored as strings so they are being read and sorted from left to right. My question is, how do I store the scores in a numeric array and place them in the same row as the name, but in the second column? The names and scores only need to be stored as long as the program is running so I don't want to add anything to the registry or create new files to store them.
I'm making a Pong game and currently when the game ends the scores are show in a lable and a message box pops up saying which of the two players won.
However the problem i am having is i want it so that the player who won has their score saved to a database so i need to know how to get the score from the Lable to save to the database but then also have a way possibly a message box ? where the player can input the desired username. so the database would have two collums username and score where score is updated automaticaly and the username is entered by the player.
