Wrote A Games Program Which Used The File "Cards.dll"?

Aug 4, 2011

My question is : How do I find out what processes/information are contained inside System .dll files ?

I recently wrote a games program which used the file "Cards.dll" in which was stored a full deck of cards. That was exactly what I wanted. I discovered the existance of this file by chance from a friend and would like to get a list of the contents and functionality of all the other .dll files.

Bridge Program The Time Between Appearance Of Cards Longer?

Apr 24, 2011

I want in my bridge program the time between appearance of cards longer. Different suggestions can be found in the forum. I tried "System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100)" resulting in the card appearing in half and after the delay the rest. Only the following code does as intended:

Dim Timer As DateTime = Now.AddMilliseconds(2000)
Do Until (Now > Timer)
Application.DoEvents()
Loop

I place this just for the code of the next card to be displayed. It is strange that the dim statement should be there. When I place it instead at the beginning of the program the code doesn't function anymore.I can live with that, however, in the forum some contributors write that this code is dangerous as it can slow down the machine considerably..Is that true or and/or only true for older versions of Visual Basic?

Create Video Games In Program?

Jan 17, 2012

How to Create Video Games in VB.Net

I realize that this is a very popular subject, especially amongst budding developers. The drive to create games may be the reason you started working with Visual Basic in the first place. After stepping through a few samples and getting the hang of working with user controls on a form, it may be very tempting to start to throw some PictureBoxes and a Timer on a Form and start to implement some game logic. Seems easy enough, right?

To some extent, this is a true statement.You could start to do this and it would be easy enough¦ at first. But when you begin to try to calculate collision and animate or rotate your sprites, you may start to run into some difficulty. And attempts to circumvent the problems often lead to even worse issues.This can cause an endless spiral of misery which could leave you thinking VB just isnt meant to make games!

The initial problem that most people face is the desire to use a PictureBox (or any other control) as the logical Sprite¯ container for the elements in the game. It makes sense since the control appears to provide a lot of the required functionality already and its easy to extend it with more properties as needed.

The issue though is that Windows Forms Controls are designed to be drawn statically“ that is, they arent meant to move around in real-time. You can of course move them at run-time, but this is normally an on-demand operation (something which occurs because the user just took an action like clicking a button or menu item). Attempting to move controls in real-time puts a heavy strain on your application and can cause poor performance quickly.[code]....

Program To Cheat At Scrabble/word Games?

May 11, 2009

I made a program to cheat at scrabble/word games. I can find words that "start with" a group of letters, "end with" a group of letters, or "contain" a group of letters in the middle. Furthermore, I can enter all my letters, and look for all the words that contain those letters. I can even enter a "*" for a blank tile (in Scrabble) and it will try all the possibilities for the blank tile.

What my program doesn't do is find all the subanagrams. For example, if I enter the letters "BNAG", my program would find only 4-letter words. I want it to also find all the 2- and 3- as well as 4-letter words.

What's the best logic/algorithm for grouping my letters into groups of 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.?

Game Programming :: Program Is Designed To Generate A Random Hand Of Cards Out Of Our List?

Aug 19, 2008

Below is the code that we have been working on. We have bolded the parts which we are unsure about - they are producing errors. (its near the bottom)The program is designed to generate a random hand of cards out of our list of them. This program is a smaller version of what we hope to have in the full one - ie. It tries to get a random hand of 3 cards out of a possible 5.

The part we are having errors with is getting the images to display on each of the 3 'picturebox' objects using a loop (so we don't have to type each picturebox individually).

Program - Loads Flash Movies And Games To Play Offline ?

Sep 13, 2009

I have my program working that loads flash movies and games for my son to play offline. Some of the games have http links in them. Is there any way that still allows playing the game without launching a webpage request? I have no code for this part of the program because I don't know where to look. I think I am just looking on how to block requests for launching anything outside of the program, or catching the request while my program is running, but not quite sure what to do.

Read A Games Log File As It Is Running?

Sep 9, 2011

I'm trying to read a log file for a game so I can extract certant info from it and track my stats as the game is running, but I keep getting access denied error for the log file. I would also like to have the log read only after it has been changed but the event handler never fires. I'm assuming it has to do with the access error. Can someone give me an example of how to watch a text file that's in use by another program and read it after it changes. The code I have works if I open the file in notpad, change it then save it but not when the game is running. I did it once before for the same game but lost my code and there are other programs that parse the log file so I know it can be done.

Whenever I decide to make a utility in VB.NET, I always end up writing a class like this one.

Loop - Sub - Wrote Only To Temporarily Fill The Database In During Run Time

May 1, 2009

I have a sub that i wrote only to temporarily fill the database in during run time to be able to test a few other functions that i wrote as well ... weird thing is by the way i wrote it it should only look 100 times... but by the unique ID in the database and the information it pulls back into my list box it loops 700 times before actually stopping the loop ...

Public Sub Fill_LeftOvers()
Dim x As Integer = 0
conn.Open()

[CODE]...

Now i used step debugging and sure enough it only loops 100 times during stepping but in the database it looped like crazy ... i have also tried while x < 100 instead of the do loop but it did the same thing ... i know this may be considered a double post i mistakenly posted originally in the PHP forums earlier today ...

Assigning Values To Cards?

Apr 27, 2009

basically i've gotten myself into a mess with some last minute project work. shame on me and all that but thats college students for ya. basically i seem to be having problems assiging a simple integer to some pictures in an array. now. basically its a card deck. i've looked this up so many times yet nothing comes to me that fits my code or the way i've been taught. in any case i've got an imagelist and put it into an array to symbolize a deck. now. as i'm doing blackjack i need each card to have its own value. so obviously 2 of hearts value = 2, king = 10 etc.so what i've done is created a function that calls on a string. and used a select case to give a value based on the filepath of the image. however it failed hoplessly. heres a piece of the code:

Sub getcardvalues(ByVal card As String)
Select Case card
Case "decklist.images.item(2club.png)"
value = 2

[code]....

despite this seemingly simple solution i can't seem to pull out the path of these cards as a string. the array simply gives me a number and the actual picture dosnt want to be a string. so my question is this. how can i pull the image path out of the array (eg: deck(1) = decklist.images.item(3club.png)) and turn that into a useable string?

Choose Between Different Sound Cards For Playback

May 2, 2010

I have a program that I have been building for quite some time, which is sort of a media center type of program. One of the features it includes is a CallerID and call management system that I have integrated into it.I am actually turning the ringers off on my phones, and the program will have it's own ringer instead. One reason i'm doing that is, it is programmed only to ring if I actually have the number already in my phonebook (i.e. no more telemarketers), and other features like quiet time (after a preset time, let's say 11:00 the phone won't ring).So anyhow I have 2 sound cards in my system. One sound card is connected to my living room home theater, which would be for watching tv, movies, etc.The other sound card is going to a separate amplifier that will power speakers that are throughout the house. I want to be able to programatically tell my program to output sound on the secondary sound card.It will be just a simple wav file, and hopefully speech as well (using the system. speech.speech synthesizer).So no matter if your watching a movie, or playing xbox (meaning the stereo will no longer be playing audio from the computer),when the phone rings you will hear the ringer over the speakers, along with a voice saying "Joe Schmoe is calling".I don't know if I can specifically have it play certain sounds over one card, or if it is a per application setting.For instance, if you are watching a movie (meaning the movie is playing through the windows media player control, inside of my program), and the phone rings, I want the phone to ring on the other card without changing the audio from the movie. If i'm not able to do it that way, and if the program itself is only able to play through one card at a time, I will simply make the caller id portion it's own separate application, that way I could make it happen.
