VB Program Help

[Jrezak321]

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me with this homework problem of mine? I need to create a program that does this:

Write a program that plays “guess the number” as follows: Your program chooses the number to be guessed by selecting an Integer at random in the range 1–1000. The program then displays the following text in a label:

I have a number between 1 and 1000--can you guess my number?
Please enter your first guess.

A TextBox should be used to input the guess. As each guess is input, the background color should change to red or blue. Red indicates that the user is getting “warmer,” blue that the user is getting “colder.” A Label should display either “Too High” or “Too Low,” to help the user “zero-in” on the correct answer. When the user guesses the correct answer, display “Correct!” in a message box, change the form’s background color to green and disable the TextBox. Provide a Button that allows the user to play the game again. When the Button is clicked, generate a new random number, change the background to the default color and enable the TextBox.

Anyones help would be greatly appreciated...

I think it would be better if you give it a try by yourself first and then ask here some questions about particular troubles you had while making your program.

If you have no idea, I recomend you to make the whole code into the Command Button click's sub. remember you're working with an object orientated language, dim an integer to generate the number (this should be done outside the command button since you dont want to re-generate it each time the user makes a guess).

Hope that helps (and if it doesnt, take a quick view to the VB help archive to learn the properties and methods and how to use their sintaxis).

The experts on this site are more than happy to help you with your problems but they cannot do your assignment/program for you. Attempt the assignment/program yourself first and post questions regarding any difficulties you have or about a particular function of the code that you don't know how to achieve.

Please read the Posting Guidelines and particularly the Coursework Posting Guidelines.

Then when you are ready post a new question in this thread.

The main problem I am having is setting up the number generator. I know it goes something like this.

Dim randomobject As Random = New Random()
Dim nrand As Integer = 0


nrand = randomobject.next(1,1000)

but what else do I need to start?

[Jrezak321]

Here is what I got so far... I am lost though. First off I do not know if I declared everything correctly? Also how do I get the guess to input after it is typed in the box? And how do you configure the warm/cold colors? Please help!

Public Class Form1
   Dim randomobject As Random = New Random()
   Dim nrand As Integer = randomobject.Next(1, 1001)
 
   Dim guess As Integer
 
 
 
   Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
      guess = TextBox1.Text
 
 
 
   End Sub
 
   Private Sub Label2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label2.Click
      If guess < nrand Then
         Label2.Text = ("Too Low")
         If guess > nrand Then
            Label2.Text = ("Too High")
         Else : MsgBox("Correct")
         End If
      End If
   End Sub
End Class

its easier than that:

dim nrand as integer

nrand = int(rnd * 1000)+1

... and that's it

[Killer42]

nrand = int(rnd * 1000)+1

Are you sure that syntax still works in VB.Net?

By the way, if you have a look in the VB Articles area, we have a couple of items there on the subject of generating pseudo-random numbers. (The computer can't generate truly random numbers.)

i didnt see the class... my apologies. :(

Here is what I have so far. I am stuck on getting a play again button to reset the game back to normal and how to get the game to compare the previous guess to the new guess and differenciate between warm or cold. I know i need to use the math.abs() function. Can anyone help.



Public Class Form1
Dim randomobject As Random = New Random()
Dim nrand As Integer = randomobject.Next(1, 1001)

Dim guess As Integer
Dim previousguess As String = guess










Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
If guess < nrand Then
Label3.Text = "Too Low"
End If


If guess > nrand Then
Label3.Text = "Too High"

End If

If guess = nrand Then
MsgBox("Correct!")
Me.BackColor = Color.Green
TextBox1.Enabled = False
End If


End Sub

Private Sub Label3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label3.Click



End Sub


Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
guess = TextBox1.Text

End Sub
End Class
