I'm re-posting this because I've fixed a few minor things and made a few minor improvements. This demo runs at about 70 fps on my Pentium 3 450mhz. One executable runs in a window, the other runs fullscreen. It is a simple textured tunnel effect. The texture is wrapped around the tunnel and the bitmap is scrolled to simulate motion through the tunnel or rotation in the tunnel. The code involves methods that provide for very fast graphical manipulation, including lookup tables with mathematical formulas and pointers to a bitmap. The code includes gaussian blurring to smooth the texture and pointers to quickly change the screen. You can change the tunnels texture in the code. To exit the program, double click on the screen. Please vote for this project and leave a comment! I don't care if you give it a bad vote, just vote what you think... I really like to see what people think of it in general.

Provides a "floating" calendar control that you can doc next to text boxes. It's a wrapper for MS Cal Control 8.0 that provides some value added and fixed an annoying bug. Updated to show use with MS Masked Edit control as well.

Fun with Arrow Keys see how the arrow keys (Left,Right,Up,Down) works in VB. very small size . vote it if you like it !!!

Here's just a few special effects which I have thought of to do with a picture because I've seen an interest in the subject at PSC (laser effects - whoever first thought of it well done). With this code you can make any picture wave like a flag and animate it to flip as if it were a 2D piece of card being turned over. Both these effects can be applied horizontally or vertically. There is also a bonus zoom effect thrown in there. All effects can have the speed adjusted for different tastes/PC's.

I looked high and low for some type of code snip that showed how to create a barcode (none where available except the ones for sale). So here is one way to print a code 39 barcode in VB. It has worked for me, although very little testing was done.

Manipulate your start button! Change bitmap, position and size! Sample bitmap is included.

This new version of my neural net is not like the frst one at all...it is a complete remake and works much better(plus this one has a purpose). the net can be trained to do a single task in a few seconds, then after that it will take less that a second(at least on my comp) to do the same task over, it is an excellent way of having a computer learn something(in this case a string). If you like this please post comments and vote, also if you are working w/ NeuralNets then please email me and we can work together(with an app i am making that will allow ppl to use the same code-window for 10 diff languages..i will post it when done)-BTW: because of a complaint from them i now know that the background image i use on this originally came from RG Soft and is copyrighted by them.

This describes briefly how and more importantly why to hide data instead of just encrypting it.

Biorhythm study and use is considered a "pseudo science" in the United State however it is widely accepted and utilized throughout Europe and much of the rest of the world. Some of the things you might be interested in are: The use of the horizontal scroll bar as a up-down control. Using the API to get a temp file name. Getting a RTF formatted file from a Resource file and placing it in a Rich Textbox Control. Some fairly difficult date manipulations. Using the GetSettings and SaveSettings functions.

Does a few things with your mouse! I made it really simple so anyone can use it! Oh, and if you click on the "Hide Mouse" button, I set the focus to the "Show Mouse" button so you can just hit enter (or space) to get your mouse back. Enjoy the code, and Vote for me if you like it!

This code demonstrates some techniques you can use to create a demo or shareware version of your app, based on the installation date and/or how many times the program has run. It features a copy protection: the user sends you a code, and you pass him a registration code to unlock the app, making it a "full" version.

This code reads a chunk of data in from the microphone into an array. It displays a volume-meter that doesn't depend on the 'peakmeter' function of the mixer (so it works on a soundblaster-live). It also displays an ossiliscope window.
