Visual Basic :: Need Help Making Maze Program

Making A Maze - Help Needed!
I'm doing a VB6 project, basically anything I want, so I decided a maze might be a cool idea. I have a rectangle border and lines for obstacles in the middle. I have the outside lines working (you can't get past them) but I'm having trouble with the obstacles. I've made them into a control array (i), but quite honestly, I don't really know where to go from here. Could anyone give any suggestions? Thanks

VB Code:
Option Explicit Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer) Select Case KeyAscii Case 87, 119 'w If Line1.Y1 - imgSnail.Top < 130 Then imgSnail.Top = imgSnail.Top - 300 End If Case 83, 115 's If Line3.Y1 - imgSnail.Top > 1440 Then imgSnail.Top = imgSnail.Top + 300 End If Case 65, 97 'a If Line4.X1 - imgSnail.Left < 150 Then imgSnail.Left = imgSnail.Left - 300 End If Case 68, 100 'd If Line2.X1 - imgSnail.Left > 1800 Then imgSnail.Left = imgSnail.Left + 300 End If Dim i For i = 0 To 9 If Line(i).Left - imgSnail.Left < 1680 Then imgSnail.Left = imgSnail.Left Else: imgSnail(i).Left -imgSnail(i) + 50 End If Next i End Select KeyAscii = 0 End Sub

Maze Program
I worte a maze program and i need the code so my image when it is moved it won't go through the lines.

Here is my code

Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
Select Case KeyAscii
Case ("w")
image1.move image1.left, image1.top - 100
Case ("s")
image1.move image1.left, image1.top +100
Case ("a")
image1.move image1.left -100, image1.top
Case ("d")
image1.move image1.left +100, image1.top
End Select
End Sub

Maze Program And Auto Mouse Clicker
I have 2 questions:
1. This should be easy to answer: i want to have the user's mouse go to an XY ordinate and click. does anyone no the function or code?

2. This should also be easy: I want to write a maze solver program. I need the code to be able to capture an img, find the starting point, and have an algorithm to solve it.

If anyone can help me with either of these, please reply or PM me!

If you haven't heard about the Amish computer virus, then i'll for sure not be the one to tell u...!

Larry's Maze Program (free Download)
Hi there.

In case you've ever wondered, there isn't a lot of money to be made in shareware. (At least, I haven't made much.) So the attached program is now free. It's not a virus, or spyware or anything like that. It generates several different kinds of mazes for you to solve.

Please enjoy it, and say nice things. Sorry, but I won't post the source. I'm happy to answer concept questions, though.

My problem is that I made a vb program containing this viewer activex , but the problem is when I want to make a package (setup file of my program) - I get problems with this activex when I try to install my program in other computers.

I think that it regard to the dependency of this ocx (activeX) I think that f I want to use my vb program in other computer I need to install this viewer program too, can you help me ?

Thanks , moyalt .

p.s I don't want to install the viewer in other computers , only my vb program (that contain the viewer activex).

Need Help With Maze
I am having trouble with a maze program i am creating... how do you make it so an image that can be moved around the form with the users keyboard stay within the walls of the maze.
Thanks for any help

Dazz, Here is my code and program.

2d Maze
ummm... i wondering if someone could give me the code to make a 2d maze where you cant go through the lines , and that you use an image that youmove through it.

Maze
Ok, my tutor has set me a maze program where I have write the pathfinding code. There are four functions (Up,Down,Left,Right) that check whether the next square is passable or not and four functions for moving the bot and one varaible that holds the last postion moved.. But every solution I've given him he says is wrong.

Here is what I tried.

1. Move randomly around the maze till the end. (Wrong)

2. Moves back at dead ends, Goes the right way round corners(not back again.), Moves randomly on T-Junctions. (Wrong)

3. Same as above but uses the X, Y variables of the end position to pick which way on t-junctions. e.g. If the end is five squares right and 2 squares up and it can move right, it will. (Wrong)

4. Same as above but uses arrays to remember what T-Junctions its been to and the routes of off the T-Junctions it has already taken. (Wrong)

Another thing is that i'm not allowed to create or use any variables apart from the "lastmove" one which is why 3 and 4 are wrong and all my code must be in the timer only.

He says that i'm supposed to not go the same way as before on t-junctions but if the bot has chosen a route gone a few squares, got to a dead end and gone back again. how am i supposed to know which way its been without variables?

I've attached one of my solutions.

If any one can help, please do. I'm not looking for someone to tell me the answer or do it for me, just a nudge in the right direction.

(By the way, my tutor won't help at all so please don't say ask him)

Thanks Alot, Ross

This One Program I Am Making
Im making this one program for quake 3. It’s to add colors to your name. In quake the code to make your names into color is basically a "^" sign with the numbers 1 through 6 for different colors. for example "^1" makes your name red, and “^1Hello ^2Bob” would make Hello red and Bob green. In the program I want it to do this. I have a rich text box linked with command buttons that tell it to change the selected text in the textbox the color of the button you click on. How would I do the coding? I am thinking it would be a lot of If and Then statements. I have a text box at the bottom that when you press create it should write the code into the txtCode textbox. Any ideas?

I Am Making A Program And...
hi

i am in the process of designing my program and now am ready to begin contstructing it on VB.

what i am working on at the moment is adding a button using the HoverCommand UserControl which i obtained from a link provided to me on this site.

i only have 2 questions - firstly i intend to use my program for commercial purposes (if possible) and i understand that i need to display some information about the original coders of the HoverCommand control >>> can anybody tell me what i should include in code or maybe within the program itself (like in help section...maybe?)

secondly i am actually not sure how to add the user control to my new project - is it a case of putting the control file into the same folder as my project and then copying the code over or what? i've never done this before and would like to know how i can begin putting it on my app immediately.

otherwise thx,

Making An AIM Program
I want to make a simple program with 2 textboxes and a button on a form. When you hit the button, it sends a message(designated by Text1) to a user on AIM(Designated by text2).

How would I do this? Would I need to learn how to Hook or would I need to learn to subclass? Or is there an alternative method? (Whatever is easiest)

Thanks in advance,

Need Help Making A Program
I'm not asking anyone to give me the whole source code for the application (unless you want to) but I need some help on how to do something.

I want to put together a small application that can read all of the desktop icon's property boxes and change the Target: location and the Start In: location.

Can this be done in VB? If so, what do I need (like API's, for example) and the general algo for it?

Making Of A Program
ok i didn't know, in which topic to post, so i posted here, because here is the most posts .

im interested in making a problem, which could go to some internet site, and click on one button, and that it would repeat doing it all the time like at every half an hour... so im interested, if it is possible to make it, and if any of you can make it, or at least teach me to do it ( but i never programmed, so that would be the hardest part to do)

thx, pakec

Making A Program That...
Hey all. I am a hardcore level editor for a game Drakan: Order of The Flame. I have recently found a way to do something with the character files that allows new vertecies to be added to them using an ASCII editor. This process takes a long time and I am fairly new to Visual Basic Programming. I want to know If anyone would have a general Idea of what I need to do to make a program that:

1) Allows you to enter the Vertecies of one file

2) Merges or allows you to copy+paste them into another file

3) Creates and Saves a new file.

As of now, It takes about 2 hours to just add and texture one of these modified files. I am the only one that currently knows this technique but If I can make this program It could allow all other PCL creators to make new characters. I don't know if this is enough information for you to help me but if you need more Info I can give it.

I posted one of the files that I would like to be a "Production" of this program. They are the REC files and can be opened with any text editor.

Thank You,

Making A Program Just With Api
HEHE...... sorry but I still know so little about API, and still got much to learn.

Okay.... i know how to make buttons and forms with just API, but what I want to know.... is how can you make a command for it, like, if they click the button..... APIs doesn't have stuff like "Command1_Click", "Text1_Change" etc.. How would you make one in API?

If you can't explain, any codes would be good enough..... or both should be perfect..... If none of the above then, "WHERE ARE THE API GURUs!?!?! HELP ME OUT!"

Thank you.

There is a problem in thius program as this is my first time using vb4 and my vb6 can't work as there say that I need to reinstall MSDN eventhough I fully installed it! (This is the 2nd problem I hope people can help me too...)

Firsty of all, this program has a click button, when clicked, will first activate the internet explorer, then stop to alert me and allow me to go to the website i want and go to the "submit" button on the website, then i can fill in what i want, then i press "ok" from the msgbox to continue the program and let it send "enter" to the "submit" button in the IE5.5 and then wait 10secs for the website to submit the details and then autorefers to another page in IE, after my vb wait 10sec, it will then SendKeys "%{LEFT}", True and so IE would go back to the "submit" page again. and the process repeats again for 100 times.

the problem i met in win98 is that IE keeps opening and opening and doesn't give me time to input the info on the website and i'm not sure if the keystrokes is working.

hope that someone can help me correct the thing above or at least suggest an alternatives...

this program which i want to create, main objective is to submit information on a website 100x. hope that someone can help me on that.

Has anybody played that maze game in the Siemens Handphone (or should i say handset or mobile phone), it has this maze game that gives u a 3d effect giving u a feeling that ur looking for a way through mazes, well iam making a game similar to that, now comes in the decision time, what language or tool should i use, i have four options, 3DStudioMax, VB, Blender, or flash (which i dun think ill use as this game uses heavy graphics), can someone please advise me on what to use

secondly, has anybody created a game similar to this or anything that involves mazes

if iam using VB, will i be able to use 3D effects (maybe using DirectX?) or should i import graphics from 3DStudioMax or Blender

this is just the begining, lets hope the ending is more fun
