LightQ is a game of mirrors, light and IQ ! it's a logic puzzle game that will proof your knowledge of merging light and reflections. The goal is to get all coins spin by sending a beam of light of the same color over it. This is a COMPLETE game with menu, sounds, music, intro, players, levelpack, editor (for making your own puzzles) and more ! you need the DirectX 8.0 type library (for sound). Further this code is based on the windows GDI32 DLL. In future i will convert it to pure directx for more platform support. Please let me know incorrect code behaviour. For now check it and have a lot of fun playing this game!!!

Updated 2004-04-09: TCP-Communication is my attempt to make a framework to run a TCP-Server without any protocol. It consists of 2 components TCPServer.dll and TCPClient.dll. I am a believer to make things that do one thing and that thing very well. TCP-Communication is an exellent framework to make chatservers for ex. The components are very easy to use and the developer using them mostly need to add the appropiate protocol for the TCP-Socket application being made. I have been working with it on and off for quite som time now, and from time to time it didn´t respond fast enough for me to approve it. But then I saw Emiliano Scavuzzo´s CSocketMaster using a implementation of Paul caton´s WinSubHook. I tried it out and it worked like a charm :-) However I must say I cannot explain why winsubhook works so much better than the ordinary subclassing I used. Anyone care to explain to me ? :-) The TCP Components are very influenced by some authors and due credit and a big thanks for teaching me about Socket programming goes to following authors. Coding Genius Edwin Vermeer Trevor Herselman Emiliano Scavuzzo for influencing me to use Paul catons WinsubHook Other authors on www.planet-Source-code.com/vb www.allapi.net And a big thanks to Paul Caton for providing me with the winsubhook that are giving me so much better response than the common subclassing techniques. Only one problem, I cant explain why my TCP-framework respons so much better with his solution than the common solution. If anyone could try to explain this to me I would be grateful :-) Note that the TCP-Components are not needed to be compiled You could integrate them directly into your project. For an example look at http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=52538&lngWId=1 The demo projects are not to be rated, they are a mess and not much energy is used on developing them. They could be buggy. They are just included to give you an idea on how to use the TCP-components. Help me grow as a developer and give me constructive feedback :-)

I've wanted to draw jigsaw pattern for a long time. After I had seen Robert Rayment's Jigsaw Pattern project, I decided to create one. I'd like to thank Kenny for his inspiration. Comments and suggestions are welcome. See the screenshot for what it looks like.

A 'VERY' How To Use Windows XP icons (32bpp with Alpha channel) from Visual Basic. The VB 'standard' methods not allow to use this icons, and reject them with "Invalid image" error message. This code show (using advanced of API) how to load this icon types. Not only! You can choose 'which' image format and size to load from icon file.

This is an internet whiteboard made for two people, I made it for me and my friend Sarah cause yahoo kept screwing up. It has a ton of tools and options. It has Freehand, Squares, Circles, Lines, Flood fill, Gradient Backgrounds, Eyedropper, and an Airbrush. You can set your airbrush pressure and drawing width, generate random colors while drawing using the arrow down key and change your drawing width while drawing using the arrow left and right keys. You can chat, see the other users current options, change your name and even save your art work! Please Vote!!!

Single class module, plug & play. Maybe the last color selector you will ever use? Lots of options & will list most of them here: 1) 3 palettes to choose from, 2) palette tabs can be disabled, 3) grab color from anywhere on screen, 4) fail-safe mode will display std color dialog if routines fail, 5) mouse wheel support, 6) prevent non-palette selections, 7) auto-convert negative sys colors to positive values, 8)add custom colors & personal colors to the default palette or replace completely, 9) easy window placement, 10) even more options. Heavily documented, jump to end of the module for a detailed description of options & their settings. 22Feb06 - Converted to a stand-alone, single class. 26Feb06: Keybd navigation. Now movable. 30Mar06: Reworked to make Win9x-safe & make more MDI-friendly. 31Mar06: Changed memory APIs used to help prevent XP DEP warnings & addressed the error messages being reported that are not errors rather a result of VB IDE settings. 4 Apr. Prev repost broke ability to select listbox items; fixed. 10 Nov 06: listboxes didn't scroll down w/mousewheel, played with XP Manifests to replicate reported issues w/some luck. 11Nov06: running out of bugs... patch minor keybd navigation issues, add layered window support, patch MDI parent losing active titlebar when common color dialog closes. See change history in module if interested.

A new version of my colorpicker. With this tool you can grab a color anywhere of the screen and see the VB colorcode, HEX value and the RGB value of it. You can convert any colorcode to another. Or making a color lighter or darker. Great tool for webdesigners... New to this version: - Saveslots are saved in the registry, so after closing the tool the colors are saved. - Converting the choosen color to the closest websave color. - Inverting a color, getting the negative of it. - Copy colorcode to clipboard button - Some minor bugs. If you like my tool, please vote...

This code demonstrates how to draw an image into your MDI area and serves as image background or logo. With two modes: center and stretch.

This program load's and renders MDL and MD2(Quake 1&2) models. the code is well commented and optimized. uses no external controls or dll's for loading/drawing except DirectX. all mdl related functions are brought together in one handy class, such as loading, rendering, animation selection, texture loading and frame interpolation! check it out

Very useful when you use cazaa or Bearshare or other P2p, where you download infinity of files, but a quarter is duplicated. It compares all type of files looking for duplicates, how? you select a folder, all files in that folder will be checked and compared looking for duplicated files, it checks 3 part of the binarys and the file LEN, if a file seems to be equal to other, the programm promts for action, and shows if the file is the same. It's like that programm of NORTON... i don't remember the name. it uses listbox, drive list, progressbar, textbox and dir list. Uses two Binary access. NOW UPDATED WITH PROGRESS BAR!!!!!!!!!!

Shows how to Terminate processes with priviliges. The purpose of this application is to guard choosen applications from going down. The Watch Guard checks each X seconds that the choosen application is responding. If it is not responding it has either been shutdown, crashed or has frozen. First the watch Guard attempts to do a clean shutdown, incase the choosen application has some savings of settings during shutdown, After that it terminate the process to be on the safe side. Finally it starts up the application again. It logs when the applications starts up and goes down. The timeout for response is variable through settings It is mainly for System Administrators who has applications running on machines that absolutely is not allowed to be down for a longer period of time. But it could benefit anyone who wish to guard a choosen application from going down. Help me grow as a programmer, Constructive Feedback are greatly appreciated :-)

This code is a demonstation on how to format a floppy with out using format.com and with out calling the SHFormatDrive API. This code allows you to format a floppy without a popup window. Currently it is set for 1.44mb only, but all the code is there if you want to play around with 702kb and 2.88mb. From what i understand this code only works on NT based systems.

This is remake of vbAccelerator's Toolbar and Rebar Control. In this control everything is included in one ActiveX, so no external dependencies (like SSubTmr.DLL) is required.

This demo application demonstrates the use of a Custom Tooltip Class supporting square and ballon style tooltips, centered at the corresponding control or at the mouse pointer hot spot, with or without title. Individual back- and forecolors and fonts are also possible as well as an assortment of Icons to be displayed in the tooltip and finally individual delay- and show-times. And whats more - the tooltip can now speak using Microsoft's Speech Object Library (SpVoice in sapi.dll), no XVoice.dll or VText.dll! The code is easy to follow and well documented. And on top of that the class is very easy to use. Check it out, download is only 10 kB.

You can use this class for searching a drive ,directory and subdirectories.It supports even multiple Criteria's. I think this is a very usefull one.I included a sample app that shows the functions of this class.Please Vote for me!!

The purpose of this article is to introduce you to the world of Pseudo Code and help you improve your development skills.

This is a remake of vbAccelerator's CommandBar Control. In this version, everything is included in one ActiveX control, so no dependencies (like SSubTimer and vbaImLst) required.

This Active-X Control allows you to access your MS-Access file on your webserver.you only need to put the serverside script on the root of the webserver which you want to access the file I included scripts in ASP and ASP.NET Open the testproject that shows all the use this Control

Rotation with Gouraud Shading its in *Pure VB* (only DirectX 7.0 initialization fullscreen mode, if you want to see rotating meshes in full screen). Runs faster on my K6-2 350Mhz, with 16 Mb Voodoo card, so imagine on Pentium IV or Athlon 2000 Mhz with ATI or nVidia card! xD. See screenShot to believe me. This source its a modification of 3DvbBlurMotion (see CodeId:51406). There is a flag to run the source at fullscreen mode (320x240 at 16 bpp). Use the keys Z,X or Y to change speed rotation. There is a flag to make blur motion to the mesh.I included a short "howto" txt file if you want to make your own meshes. Reports will be apreciated. Thanks for optimizations to Carles P.V. Enjoy it! *** UPDATE *** I just update more meshes, now are 28. The new meshes aren't LOW POLY optimizated. See READMEFIRST.txt for performance testing and other information. PSC don't let me upload this new meshes files. You can download from here: http://www.geocities.com/vbrules2k/meshes.zip (585 Kb aprox.) Sorry for this "trouble". See You, and thanks 4 the votes!
