Visual basic loop without freezing program? - vb.net

I made a loop below to make a monster move around in my game, when the loops runs once the whole game freezes... any ideas to make the loop repeat every 5 seconds?
Randomize()
Dim value As Integer = CInt(Int((4 * Rnd()) + 1))
Do
If value = 1 Then
If Me.mob2.Location.X < 750 Then
Me.mob2.Location = New Point(Me.mob2.Location.X + 1, Me.mob2.Location.Y)
End If
ElseIf value = 2 Then
If Me.mob2.Location.Y < 549 Then
Me.mob2.Location = New Point(Me.mob2.Location.X, Me.mob2.Location.Y + 1)
End If
ElseIf value = 3 Then
If Me.mob2.Location.X > 12 Then
Me.mob2.Location = New Point(Me.mob2.Location.X - 1, Me.mob2.Location.Y)
End If
ElseIf value = 4 Then
If Me.mob2.Location.X < 750 Then
Me.mob2.Location = New Point(Me.mob2.Location.X + 1, Me.mob2.Location.Y)
End If
End If
Loop
Timer That doesn't work:
Private Sub Timer()
' Timer.interval = 1000
End Sub

Not a good solution but this will help you to understand the problem
the problem in that your screen is not refreshing try this:
Do
application.doevents() '' so each time it loops it will refresh your screen
If value = 1 Then
If Me.mob2.Location.X < 750 Then
Me.mob2.Location = New Point(Me.mob2.Location.X + 1, Me.mob2.Location.Y)
End If
ElseIf value = 2 Then
If Me.mob2.Location.Y < 549 Then
Me.mob2.Location = New Point(Me.mob2.Location.X, Me.mob2.Location.Y + 1)
End If
ElseIf value = 3 Then
If Me.mob2.Location.X > 12 Then
Me.mob2.Location = New Point(Me.mob2.Location.X - 1, Me.mob2.Location.Y)
End If
ElseIf value = 4 Then
If Me.mob2.Location.X < 750 Then
Me.mob2.Location = New Point(Me.mob2.Location.X + 1, Me.mob2.Location.Y)
End If
End If

VB.Net Drawing Binary Trees

Essentially, the purpose of this program is for revision. The program will generate a random mathematical expression, convert this into a visual representation of a binary tree and the user will have to traverse the binary tree. However, when I run this code, the initial node is far off centre. How would I go about re-positioning the binary tree to be in the middle of the PictureBox? Here is my code:
Public Class BTT

Blackjack: Won't add Dealer's Hand

I have a problem with my blackjack game in vb.net. This code I have will add the player's score perfectly, but when it comes to the dealer's score, it will not. It only takes the second card that the dealer has.
It is called with this:
addScore("p") 'add player's score
addScore("d") 'add dealer's score
And this is "addScore()":
Public Function card(player As String, index As Integer) As Label
Try
If player = "p" Then
Return GroupBox1.Controls.OfType(Of Label).Where(Function(l) l.Name = "YouCard" & index.ToString()).Single()
ElseIf player = "d" Then
Return GroupBox1.Controls.OfType(Of Label).Where(Function(l) l.Name = "DealerCard" & index.ToString()).Single()
End If
Catch
Return Nothing
End Try
End Function
Public Sub addScore(ByVal player As String)
Dim currScore As Integer
Dim result As Integer = 0
'Add Score
For value As Integer = 1 To 7
If card(player, value).Text = "A" AndAlso (currScore + 11) <= 21 Then
result = currScore + 11
ElseIf card(player, value).Text = "A" AndAlso (currScore + 1) <= 22 Then
result = currScore + 1
ElseIf IsNumeric(card(player, value).Text) Then
result = currScore + CInt(card(player, value).Text)
ElseIf card(player, value).Text = "" Then
result = result
Else
result = currScore + 10
End If
If player = "p" Then
YouScore.Text = result
Else
DealerScore.Text = result
End If
Next
End Sub
currScore shouldn't be there. Replace it with result
Public Sub addScore(ByVal player As String)
Dim result As Integer = 0
'Add Score
For value As Integer = 1 To 7
If card(player, value).Text = "A" AndAlso (result + 11) <= 21 Then
result = result + 11
ElseIf card(player, value).Text = "A" AndAlso (result + 1) <= 22 Then
result = result + 1
ElseIf IsNumeric(card(player, value).Text) Then
result = result + CInt(card(player, value).Text)
ElseIf card(player, value).Text = "" Then
result = result
Else
result = result + 10
End If
If player = "p" Then
YouScore.Text = result
Else
DealerScore.Text = result
End If
Next

In Form2, change your declaration from
Dim sandl(99) As Integer
to
Public sandl(99) As Integer
This would allow Form3 to access your integer array
Rename your Validate method to something else, like ValidateTextBoxes, or if you intend to overload the base.Validate, then declare as
Private Overloads Function Validate

How to make a "key generator" knowing the formula

I have the formula to check 9 integers,
First digit(d1) must be: 1, 2, 5, 6, 8 or 9
Last digit(d9) must be: 0 or 9
9xd1+8xd2+7xd3+6xd4+5xd5+4xd6+3xd7+2xd8+d9 mod 11 = 0
I can "validate" the key, but how can I generate more of this, knowing the conditions for it to be right?
How can I generate 9 different integers from 0 to 9 and check them under this formula?
Thanks for helping!
Generate the first 7 digits randomly, calculating the formula for those digits.
Set the 9th digit's value to 9, and add it to the formula.
Calculate a value for the 8th digit based on the mod of the result of the formula that causes the result of the formula to be mod 11 = 0.
For the exception case where attempting to do this causes mod 11 = 9, set the 9th digit to 0.
Implementation:
Private randGen As New Random()
Function GenNum() As Integer
Dim digits(0 To 8) As Integer
GenNum = 0
Dim checkSum As Integer
digits(0) = randGen.Next(6) + 1
If digits(0) >= 3 Then digits(0) += 2
If digits(0) >= 7 Then digits(0) += 1
checkSum += digits(0) * 9
For d As Integer = 1 To 6
digits(d) = randGen.Next(10)
checkSum += digits(d) * (9 - d)
Next
digits(8) = 9
checkSum += digits(8)
If (checkSum Mod 11) Mod 2 = 1 Then
digits(7) = (11 - (checkSum Mod 11)) \ 2
Else
digits(7) = ((12 - (checkSum Mod 11)) \ 2 + 4) Mod 10
End If
checkSum += digits(7) * 2
If checkSum Mod 11 = 9 Then digits(8) = 0
Dim pow10 As Integer = 1
For d As Integer = 8 To 0 Step -1
GenNum += pow10 * digits(d)
pow10 *= 10
Next
End Function
I can help you to generate integers from 0 to 9.
here is how your form should look like:
and here is the code:
Public Class Form1
Dim NumRandom As Random = New Random
Dim X, Y, Z As Integer
Private Sub GenerateBUT_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GenerateBUT.Click
Dim a(9), i, j, RN As Integer
Dim flag As Boolean
flag = False
i = 1
a(j) = 1
Do While i <= 9
Randomize()
RN = CInt(Int(9 * Rnd()) + 1)
For j = 1 To i
If (a(j)) = RN Then
flag = True
Exit For
End If
Next
If flag = True Then
flag = False
Else
a(i) = RN
i = i + 1S
End If
Loop
Label1.Text = a(1)
Label2.Text = a(2)
Label3.Text = a(3)
Label4.Text = a(4)
Label5.Text = a(5)
Label6.Text = a(6)
Label7.Text = a(7)
Label8.Text = a(8)
Label9.Text = a(9)
Z = Label4.Text
Y = Label5.Text
X = Z + Y
X = X - Label3.Text
If X > 1 And X < 10 Then
X = NumRandom.Next(1, 7)
If X = 1 Then
Label1.Text = "0"
ElseIf X = 2 Then
Label2.Text = "0"
ElseIf X = 3 Then
Label3.Text = "0"
ElseIf X = 4 Then
Label4.Text = "0"
ElseIf X = 5 Then
Label5.Text = "0"
ElseIf X = 6 Then
Label6.Text = "0"
ElseIf X = 7 Then
Label7.Text = "0"
End If
End If
End Sub

Need help adding number to dim's in my loop sequence? vb.net

Here's basically what I have:
Public checkprogresstime_p1 As String = ""
Public checkprogresstime_p2 As String = ""
'P1 Progress bar updater
checkprogresstime_p1 = (time_total.Text - time_p1_hour.Value)
If checkprogresstime_p1 >= 60 Then
checkprogresstime_p1 = 60
time_p1_progress.ForeColor = Color.LimeGreen
ElseIf checkprogresstime_p1 <= 0 Then
checkprogresstime_p1 = 1
End If
If time_p1_progress.Value < 60 Then
time_p1_progress.ForeColor = Color.Red
End If
time_p1_progress.Value = checkprogresstime_p1
Here's basically what I need:
Dim cnt As Integer = 1
Do
'P1 Progress bar updater
checkprogresstime_p(cnt) = (time_total.Text - time_p(cnt)_hour.Value)
If checkprogresstime_p(cnt) >= 60 Then
checkprogresstime_p(cnt) = 60
time_p(cnt)_progress.ForeColor = Color.LimeGreen
ElseIf checkprogresstime_p(cnt) <= 0 Then
checkprogresstime_p(cnt) = 1
End If
If time_p(cnt)_progress.Value < 60 Then
time_p(cnt)_progress.ForeColor = Color.Red
End If
time_p(cnt)_progress.Value = checkprogresstime_p(cnt)
Loop While cnt <= 25
I have no idea how to do it... I need it to loop and add +1, 25 times. I basically have it written out 25 times at the moment...
This is the For/Loop with your current request. The cnt variable will increment itself in this type of Loop.
For cnt As Integer = 1 To 25
'P1 Progress bar updater
checkprogresstime_p(cnt) = (time_total.Text - time_p(cnt)_hour.Value)
If checkprogresstime_p(cnt) >= 60 Then
checkprogresstime_p(cnt) = 60
time_p(cnt)_progress.ForeColor = Color.LimeGreen
ElseIf checkprogresstime_p(cnt) <= 0 Then
checkprogresstime_p(cnt) = 1
End If
If time_p(cnt)_progress.Value < 60 Then
time_p(cnt)_progress.ForeColor = Color.Red
End If
time_p(cnt)_progress.Value = checkprogresstime_p(cnt)
Next
I believe what you're wanting to do has more to do with having 25 progress bars on your form where each one is named time_p#_progress where # is the number of the progress bar. That being said, there are two ways to acheive updating your progress bars without having to copy and paste your code 25 times...
1. Use Me.Controls to get a reference to the progress bar
For j = 1 To 25
Dim pbar As ProgressBar = Me.Controls("time_p" & j & "_progress")
Dim ph As NumericUpDown = Me.Controls("time_p" & j & "_hour")
Dim checkprogresstime As Long = (time_total.Text - ph.Value)
If checkprogresstime >= 60 Then
checkprogresstime = 60
pbar.ForeColor = Color.LimeGreen
ElseIf checkprogresstime <= 0 Then
checkprogresstime = 1
End If
If time_p1_progress.Value < 60 Then
pbar.Value = checkprogresstime
End If
pbar.Value = checkprogresstime
Application.DoEvents()
Next
Note: You didn't tell us what type of control time_p1_hour was. I assumed it was a NumericUpDown down control. So, if it's not, you need to replace it the type of control that time_p1_hour is.
2. Dynamically create your controls as a control array
Initizliaze your progress bars in the Form1_Load method (MyBase.Load)
Private pbars(24) As ProgressBar
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
For i = LBound(pbars) To UBound(pbars)
pbars(i) = New ProgressBar()
pbars(i).Parent = Me
pbars(i).Top = i * pbars(i).Height
pbars(i).Left = 0
pbars(i).Visible = True
Next
End Sub
Put your code inside of a loop like so
For cnt = 0 To 24
checkprogresstime_p(cnt) = (time_total.Text - time_hour(cnt).Value)
If checkprogresstime_p(cnt) >= 60 Then
checkprogresstime_p(cnt) = 60
time_p_progress(cnt).ForeColor = Color.LimeGreen
ElseIf checkprogresstime_p(cnt) <= 0 Then
checkprogresstime_p(cnt) = 1
End If
If time_p_progress(cnt).Value < 60 Then
time_p_progress(cnt).ForeColor = Color.Red
End If
time_p_progress(cnt).Value = checkprogresstime_p(cnt)
Next
