My examproject in programming

pics?

i ran the .exe and windows complains about security and disables half of the functionality, eventually shutting it down. Besides that its in danish and i only understood the word "angrib". Attack right?

Can't really comment since I don't understand a word.

who takes visual basic

great...

now try writing in a real programming language.

What other languages have you tried Zacker? I noticed you seemed to mention c++/java in your post on the SoW forums, how long you been using them? I've never used VB myself, but in my school all we got to do was a little bit of pascal, so count yourself lucky

great...now try writing in a real programming language.

Even though I hate vb.net I will have to defend zacker here in that vb.net is a powerful language when it comes to .net programming and in many cases can be just if not more efficient that something like c++ on the windows platform.

We see many good things come out of vb.net for example a good chunk of xbox live for the xbox 360 was written in vb.net/c# and we are seeing more and more on the graphics front with managed DX and looking forward to that we are seeing that these languages such as vb.net are starting to meet the needs of even the more seasoned programmer.

I would like to give you an example 

lets take a simple windows application written in vb.net:

public Class Form1 inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

Private Sub InitializeComponent()

End sub

End Class

For the most part this is all that’s needed for a windows application in vb.net now lets goto a c++ application and all we want to do is create a window with our application and this is a full on c++ app none of that CLR Visual c++ stuff.

C++:

#include “windows.h”

LRESULT APIENTRY WndProc(HWD hwnd,UNIT msg,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lparam);

Int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInst,HINSTANCE hPrev,LPSTR cmdline,int cmdshow)

{

HWND hwnd;

WNDCLASS wc;

Wc.lpfnWndProc = (WNDPROC)WndProc;

wc.lpszClassName = "TheWindowClass";

RegisterClass(&wc);

hwnd = CreateWindow("TheWindowClass","Title",WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,0,0,640,480,0,0,hInst,0);

ShowWindow(hwnd,SW_SHOW);

UpdateWindow(hwnd);

Return 0;

}

Now I am sure you can see here the code involved is quite larger for doing something so very straight forward as creating a window. So to say that vb.net is not a real programming language just shows how ignorant you are in your programming. I do not know of many programmers today that would say well I am going to write this code in c++ over vb.net/c# on the windows platform.

is this a .net 2.0 application ? you can get ride of that security stuff in the properties of the project.

edit: I see this is a 1.1 application I would recommend upgrading it to a 2.0 application. try out VB.net Express which is free and I recommend that all of you who have never tried programming in VB.net or c# to grab it and try it out.

just a comment not being able to read it you shoudl create locale files in XML that way those of us who live in the english speaking world can read it

you should display how much health one has (in numbers) and how much it costs to purchase food and weapons... (also in numbers)

Aside from that, its super :]

edit. got an errror: (unhandled exception)

See the end of this message for details on invoking 


just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************


To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this


application or machine (machine.config) must have the


jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.


The application must also be compiled with debugging


enabled.




For example:












When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception


will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine


rather than being handled by this dialog.

No idea if that helps or if its just some crap:P

I was being sarcastic :roll:

Quote from Zacker

We unfortunately haven't had any choice regarding what language we want write in. VB.NET 2003 is what they got at our school at what our teacher knows, so we are limited to that.I have tried a bit of everything including c++, java, php, asp, ti-basic, actionscript and dos/bat. In Java I have made some small programs and games, but I haven't used that language for some years now. The only c++ I have done is small parts of the SoW1 and SoW2 code.

I considered having xml localization files but that would probably be out of the project scope.

well give me the source and I will make the localization files

The helper text and numerical stuff made the whole thing much better, great job! Could you explain the difference between exploring more and moving onto a new territory?
