I am making a hangman style game in VB 2008 Express. I am a beginner and instead of making any graphic related content (i.e. the hang man), I am using a 3 strike system. So far, I am just about finished. Only problem is whenever I choose a letter that is incorrect, it adds 1 to the strike label. The problem is, the second time I choose an incorrect letter, the "1" does not change to 2! The line is as fallowed:
strikelbl.Text = +1
Im using Visual Basic 2008.Okay I got all the design, and everything set up, even the hangman body parts coming on the screen and stuff. So my problem is creating the BLANKS, the underscores "_", and replacing them with a letter...
I was thinking creating Lables which i have no idea how to dynamically. Then giving each label name the letters they belong to, and everytime the user gets the rigth letter they get replaced.

I am a student working on the venerable "Hangman" project. We were tasked to create a hangman game that would get a random word from one of three sources either by file, by array, or by database file. I have managed to get a random word to import from all three but I run into a problem once I start to play the game. The program seems to run into an infitinite loop as soon as you enter a letter or it automatically dispays character entered and gives a game over. [code]............

(i want more than 1 word so that it can be played multiple times).

my teacher assigns me to modify the program hangman game that allow a player to enter a word that contains any letters up to 10 letters.That assignment is from my textbook, Programming with MS Visual Basic 2010 by Diane Zak.[code]Now here's the problem I'm having trouble with. I don't know if my substrings is wrong or right, but when I type a word, the problem crashes and gives me the error of this.and another problem I'm having trouble with is how can I have dashes to match with the length of words? For example, if I type "game", it'll display "----" in the exe program. If I type "cat", it'll display "---" in the exe program as well.
View 14 RepliesI am working on this hangman project that has a graphical interface where the user has 2 options either guess the entire phrase or use a combo box to guess letters. I have the guess text box working but I can't for the life of me figure out why it is not working correctly with the combo box. The following is my entire code for the project. I have it setup to show me which phrase it randomly selected but when ever I pick a letter in that phrase it doesn't fill it in or anything. I'm thinking it is an issue with my loops.
I highlighted the section where the problem is occurring.

View 10 Repliesi've created a hangman game (Fully working) but since you can only "play" with one phrase (10 letters) it gets boring fast. Basic the current game works by on form load i define the slots (10 string which each hold a letter) and give them there letter. then the user type in a text box and if the textbox = any of the slots then the lbl repasenting that slots changes its text from "_" to the letter.
Anyway what I would like the button to do is when the user presses the start button a random number is generated. The program then looks into a textfile and based on which number is generated it takes a certain line (10 characters per line in a phrase) , moves them into the slots and the game starts. Is that possible to code or it too complicated. The textfile will be in the applications folder (words.txt).
Is there any visual basic 2005/2008 RPG games with the source code available for download.Could you possibly reply to this post with a link to the website with the game.Or is there a template i could use to try create a zombie style RPG game text or graphical.
View 2 RepliesWell the thing is im making a tool for a game(No hack)the display is like this Name : [here a text box] Time : [Here can be laber or textbox] [start] [stop] [reset] in the first textbox the user who is using the program have to put a player name and in time when they click start in the second textbox or labe it should start countingdown from 1 hour 1:00:00.Stop only stop the time but let the time where it was and reset to reset the time.so when the time get to 0 something should pop up with the name of the player that the user put in the text box like MsgBox Frolox's time has finish or something like that but it have to appear in top of everything.

View 17 RepliesI'm trying to make a little game using VB .NET 2008 Express Edition.The game is comparable to the Everybody Votes channel on the Nintendo Wii (if anyone has ever seen it). You can submit questions to a online database. Then, if the question is accepted, users can vote on it and other accepted questions. The questions are on a timer and when it hits a certain point (after a couple of days or so), the questions can no longer be voted on and the results are displayed. Since the details of the users account, the questions and the results would be in a database online, the program would also track some fun little aspects of their voting habits and stuff.
Onto my question though, how difficult would it be to pull something like this off? Especially for someone with no experience using an online database with VB .NET? I'm not foreign to the basics of VB .NET by any means, I've taken several courses with it in college and worked with offline Access databases, but taking it online is something completely new to me.
i have just begun to program so I am a complete beginner. but i cannot find out how to add a shape to my form. I am reading a book that is a guide to beginner programmers but it simply says to use the shape control, but I cannot find that. I am pretty sure that the author was using a different version of visual basic so I just need another way to insert a shape on my form. also, what are the units used in the version 0I am using.

Since this version is free and allows the creation of EXEs, what are its limitations? I'm going to attempt to convert my vb5 game using this edition. Other than the standard labels & buttons, my game uses the winsock & tab control. Are these included in the express version? Is there an option to convert vb5 code to vb.net? If not, how different is the language? Are the if/thens, loops, variable assignment still the same?

I want to create a software which have a Vista-like border style. I currently created some buttons (1 per side and 1 per corner) which have a background image corresponding to their position on the form. But it requires to much CPU when I resize the window (and need a lot of code lines to works ) So, I want to know if their is a way to create a border style (and maybe to add it in the Form.FormBorderStyle enum) to make it easily tranparent, etc.
