Layers Demo by Robert Rayment. (Update5 fileops correction) This started as a layers demo but grew a bit to include some effects and drawing tools. Individual pictures can be resized, clipped, lassoed, rotated have effects and drawn on and a merged picture can also have all these apart from lassoing and rotating. The transparency can be varied for each picture apart from the background...etc. Too many things to describe them all here so please read the Help. The screenshot was made with this prog but PSPro used to convert to jpeg. Difficult to be sure all bugs removed so comments welcome. (exe tested on WinXP) Win98, Zip 182 KB including some test pictures.

This is a Little 3D game where you have to shoot your opponent (The Computer) 10 times, before he shoots you 10 times. The Enemy Runs around using Way Points, and will shoot you as soon as he sees you. This Program Is written around DirectX 8.1 and includes stuff like animations, lighting, Blending, collision detection, mesh loading and other strange stuff. The Current Settings are in 320x240 but you can change these by altering the SWidth and SHeight constants. (located in the DirectXEngine.bas). Many things were kinda copied from HL:CS (sounds, level design). There is currently a tiny problem with the Speed (It's ******* slow), but i hope this is no real problem :). Have fun, and i hope this helped in any way... --- www.SturmNacht.de.vu

This is my first submission, a multiplayer game. In fact it's not really a game, because there isn't any quest or weapons or whatever, you can only see the other player walk around. The game doesn't use any directX, it's just moving pictureboxes. I think it's great for people who want to learn how to use winsock to make multiplayer games. And... what do you think about the cool animal (knoerf). Please give me some feedback. It's my first submission and I would really like to hear if I'm doing anything wrong... Thanks

This tutorial is intended for student who are new to Class programming in Visual Basic. The Series Articles are still in development but here the 3 portion of this articles.

Updated to be even more cryptic! Encryption based on Xor bitwise comparison and pseudo-random seeds with password protection.

Uses SetPixel and AlphaBlend API to make a pretty show of fireworks.

Ok i know most properties in the property window doesnt work.Not that i couldnt.but i want to keep the code as much simple as i can.To begin just set a value at the textbox and click the button.But please less than 200 . It can handle unlimited MAX values but it doesnt work more than 200 because i havent add code for the smallest possible "THUMB".TO begin just click one arrow to make the thing visible.While moving the button over the thumb you can see the forms caption changing according the state. I know it is incomplete.BUT my aim was to give people the idea how to make a scrollbar.I downloaded two examples of scrollbars to see the code but they were too much complicated and i didnt even got a thing.So i made my own. NOTICE it is faster than the traditional one because MS scrollbar has a standrar 40-50 ms delay a valueable time for programmers who make custom controls like when you scroll ba picture box you dont want a delay (if the code takes 50 ms you would like it to take +40 because of the microsoft control.

the new version can be found here : http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=47678&lngWId=1 It simulates the fall of caracters in Matrix. It's my first program with DirectX 8 but I think it's a good beginning. See it by yourself and tell me what you think. a+

this is just a simple control that mimics an LED. you give it a binary value for which sections to light up, and it does it. there is also a built in function that has digit presets and other things.

Make a skinned form, like WinAmp.

This is an off-shoot of the Phillippine Lottery Game..... You enter 6 number combination and hope youll hit the jackpot...

This code is a re-write of the module "midi" in the PSC code entry "Advanced Midi Programming / Utility" i was looking for a Midi file reader to read all the file's data in notes, control notations, and be able to extract comments in the files etc., i found this code that could do so but it was unreadeable (the code i used as a template to re-write was the original, which is in the project as ModOriginal) so i re-wrote it so other's could learn what i wanted to learn (unfortunately some of the byte translations are still in dutch, i couldn't translate Some of them, most are in english and the routines and helper routines are in english.) EDIT: My Code is in ClsMidi, compare it with the code in ModOriginal to see it's advantages for learning! Also thanks to peter wilson, i stole his space oddysey midi :p

Here is another piece of code for the people who want to give their applications access to the world of windows... See screenshot!

My third subbmission in one day heh... I am just board, so I made a little competition AddItem vs. SendMessage. So, I found that SendMessage is about 2 times faster than VB's add item. Microsoft, can you mak2e our lives easier and just give us working functions???

A simple listview program that'll start up programs on start or on active internet connection found.

Again, sorry for the lack of submissions in the lst few hours, I had some work to do. Anyway here is an ActiveX DLL/OCX registrar. It is simple enough that a beginner can learn this by compiling the class file and intergate it with their own programs. Don't forget to vote...

This code will be usefull for a joke, or a virus. It Hides/Shows the Start Button...

Super-simple way to disable Ctrl+Al+Del (but not Alt+Tab) in Windows XP and probably NT/2K as well. Anyone can do it, and it works in any language that lets you launch another app! How cool is that?

Do you like math and physics? If "Yes", then here is the program that you're looking for, but if "No", then you still have a chance to like this program if you like graphics or games programming. This program is an application for the elastic collision between two objects. In elastic collision, the total momentum is always conserved, and after collision, the final velocities get distributed based on the masses and initial velocities of the two objects. This program is a good example of how to use math to move objects, detect collisions, draw graphs, and change objects sizes and positions. In this program, I made sure that all buttons get disabled during the movement except the Stop button, and I used the idea of global variables to exit the loop of action. One last thing, I think this program is kind of fun, especailly if you try different masses with different initial velocities. The graph also shows some intersting patterns of movements. I hope you'll learn something out of it... Good luck ...

This project gives you the full Database level security. You cannot run your project untill you give the correct database password. Since the database is also password locked, nobody can open it also. If you make EXECUTABLE file of your application, then not to worry about someone else can run your application or open the database. Good luck & please vote me if you really fount it useful.
