This is a modification of Paul Bahlawan's original Planet Source code post. My version adds a few extra things, most notably a reasonably fast (for VB, that is) blur effect. It also includes the abililty to dynamically set the screen resolution and buffer size (for varying degrees of speed/smoothness) and the ability to render transparent flowers. See the README.txt file for more information.

Spurred on by a recent submission, I decided to waste away a week and create a on screen playable word find type of game. This is a rather simple game and I've tried to keep the source neat and well commented. __________________________________________________ 13.10.06 - Fixed freezing-when-compiled bug.

SineWave Text is a program that produces HTML for colored text. (To get true rainbow text, check out my other program Rainbow Text. http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=45032&lngWId=1) This program works by drawing three sine waves (representing the red, blue, and green components of a color) with user-variable amplitude, frequency, and phase shifts. Then the program iterates through 360 degrees taking the value of each wave at each degree and merging them to form a color value. Credit goes to this site http://www.mu.org/~doug/blend/index.html for introducing me to the idea of producing gradients from sine and other shaped waves.

* 2003-11-04 UPDATE * Fixed "subscript out of range" bug. Thanks R. Gilchrist. Added HTML to clipboard. Thanks R.Rayment. -- This is a quickly built utility app that can run procedures a user-specified amount of times and graphically (and via HTML) display the speed results. --This app is not meant to super accurate down to the nanosecond. It is just meant to give a rough idea on the speed of various procedures and more importantly the relative fastness or slowness of one procedure compared to another.

Folder Size is a *simple* way to visualize the amount of space folders take up on your computer via a pie chart and list report. -- It is still in the way before complete stage, so any comments/suggestions/criticisms would be nice! -- Note: To start, open pFolderSize.vbp in the Folder Size folder.

**This is an update of my previous submission.** What's New? Various speed-ups. (40k-80k to 150k-250k passwords/sec). Got rid of string concatenation replaced with Mid$ function. Made password producing function an "inline" function, no more repeated calls. Fixed bug that wouldn't let you close the form even if you hadn't started generating yet. No more version numbers, just date of release.

This is a "password generator" that can (on my puny PII 333mHz computer) generate about 40000-80000 passwords per second (number varies based on password length). This project was inspired by this Planet-Source-Code post: "Fast BruteForce Class Example" by §e7eN. http://www.Planet-Source-Code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=48276&lngWId=1 and by various websites, code snippets, and newsgroup posts. I have no interest/knowledge in using this to break into anything or do any harm. I'm do love the logic behind such challenges. Though, I'm sure I'm at the pre-k level when it comes to serious string manipulation.

This is just a trivial little app that creates actual rainbowed colored text (unlike that ubiquitous random colored letter code). See the README.txt for more info on the color conversion functions.

**Yes, I propose we rename PSC to Planet-Gradient-Code! Like an infant I am oddly fascinated by pretty colors. In this submission I use the GradientFill API function to create horizontal and vertical repeating multicolor gradients. I also provide a custom gradient fill function to implement smoooooth cosine and tacky HLS (rainbow) color interpolation. **No angle support, yet. For my stab at angled gradients see CodeID=59020.

-- Yes, another gradient. Highlights: can draw at any angle, is reasonably fast, is totally contained in one sub (no need to add a class or module). --- See explanation.gif and the comments for a rough idea on how it works. --- Also check out the demo picturebox, it is resizable at runtime. ---

Letter Drop is a game where letters drop (duh ;) and you must (or else...) arrange them to create words. The words can be formed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. You can also muck around with some settings. (Cool font included.) ** The game is 100% working, but not 100% polished, please, please tell me what I need to fix, I love feedback. **
