This is my first attempt at writing a Pinball game in VB. It's just a demo. Please excuse the ugly graphics, I had to draw the main screen in 16 colors to make the file small enough to upload. You'll see the use of Sprites and a color Point collision detection method for ball movement. The "All Time High Score" is posted on the machine. I had fun making this, hope it will give someone a neat idea. You need DX7.
In this example, the figure of the curve changes constantly as it moves about the screen. You can make your own unique curve and save it. If you choose to compile this into a screen saver, please read the bezier.txt file first. Finally, credit goes to Mark Roberts for his sub "Bezier Splines" posted back on 5\25\99. I hope you enjoy viewing an extension of this work. :)
You play against the computer. I wrote this game years ago for my children. The code is not commented and it's quite fat. I ask that you please play the game, and leave comments on improvements/additions. I will then rewrite the game to bring it up to speed, and incorporate your suggestions into it. :)
The Point method is used in this example to detect collisions of objects within the screen boundries. An interesting alternative to setting X, Y coordinates for objects. You need DX7 (or higher) installed. Happy New Year!
Somewhat different than most...(I was inspired by Monty Python). You can compile this into either a screensaver .scr file, or a desktop .exe file. Look at the Readme.txt and I tell you how to do both. Happy New Year!

In this example, the OLE Container is used along with a dozen sound files. If your app. contains sound files and you compile it into an .exe, then by using this method you don't have to supply those files along with the .exe, as they are embedded within it. Adds a bit of security to any copyright material you may have. :)

This is part#1, using a single .gif file. A crazy rabbit. Drag him around the desktop (provided that you can catch him). Cheers to you. ;)
This is Ulli's project posted back on 9/19 with the exception of an addition I made to it., you can now also change the forecolor of command buttons that have multiple line captions.
