A while ago I found Richard Clarks example on sprite rotation in Visual Basic using DirectX on PSC. I thought about how easy it would be to make a really crappy rip off of Grand Theft Auto. So I sat down for half an hour, and using Richard Clarks code, and my own coding, I wrote this very basic engine. Due to something screwing up in the upload process, I had to cut over half the graphics out to upload it to PSC. If you're interested in seeing this code go towards making something, or you want the full graphics file, drop me an email on jimcamel@aeonlegend.com BTW, you can make your own maps (not that they are much of a map, only 1 screen) by editing the map.txt file. The code is xy, where x is the x-coord of the tile, and y is the y-coord. The values are from 0-z. *UPDATE* Over a year after submitting this code I finally updated it. I haven't added anything, just tidied it up and included the graphics, as I'm deleting the site they were held on. Thanks. Jim

Increments any serial number string up to the length of the original string passed to the function. Allows serial string to have delimiters. This could be useful to anyone that require automatic incrementing of a number, such as a job number, receipt number, etc

I had a datagrid which I needed to output/print, rather than go through the whole printing process I decided to try export it. This code takes values in a datagrid - populated from an access bound datacontrol, and exports the datagrid to a csv file for input into excel.

This app changes a .vbg, .vbp, .frm, .bas, .cls, .ctl, or .pag file and all the files that it contains into a group of HTML pages. This can be very useful if you need to document something, or just to put your vb files on your website w/out people having to dl them. If you know anyway to parse the strings faster please let me know. Also if you like this PLZ VOTE.

This code demonstrates walking around in a virtual environment, collision detection, animation, sounds etc. It is actually a game Ive been working on for a few days. There are menus, sounds, graphics etc! looks like final fantasy!

NEW && IMPROVED. now its even better and faster - tons of functions to make your fast arcades. the source code is included for the component and for the demo app but if you dont want to compile it using VC6 you can regsvr the compiled dll. JUST DONT FORGET TO REPLACE THE bll extension to dll (PSC doesnt allow to upload dlls) HAVE FUN (and lots of fast games) Abware's game engine is a fast activex component written in c++ especially for vb programmers. the component allow you to design a full screen fast arcade game using directx 7 or later. in just a few lines of code you can add backgrounds, sprites and actions (animations) to make your favorite arcade games. the component uses ultra fast c++ code built from the scratch using simple techniques like linked list and structures to make it even faster. after uploading the zip file read the instructions rtf file first and then compile the c++ project (abSpriteEX1.dsw) before opening and executing the vb project (testapp.vbp). make sure your VC compiler is set to the correct directx libraries (need to have directx7 SDK on your computer) this stuff is for advanced programmers but if you need any help you can email me at :adib@malam.com and ill help you as much as i can. anyway those of you that will manage to activate both the VC and VB compilers will have an industry quality arcade games engine with full open source code in hands. enjoy it and dont forget to vote for me bye.

A few Lines of code to show you the version of windows you are running.

Does 3 things - sends SMS, get/sends email and is an advenced browser with translation

You can send sms messages to mobile phones thru Icq Server without having to open a webbrowser or internet browser. It works perfectly. This code is an upgrade to some code i've seen on the PSC, but now it doesn't works becase the guys from icq changed their system. My way it works. At least until they change again ! :)

This is an update to my previous listing. This is a fix for the factor of black which was brought to my attention. In this fix your panton black is converted to RGB(0,0,0) like it should be. If anyone has any other code for converting CMYK to RGB please share. It took me a while to find what I could.

Split file (with optional compression), Following code is used : CoolBorder, Encryption (to ini), Check if file exists, FileString Manipulation, ProgressBar Deluxe 1.01, Huffman Compression Class (by F.Q). Very low memory usage when splitting/joining files. See the about tab for additional Credits.

We all know how hard is to find anything in the pile of paper we get by fax, so the easyer way is to catalogue them using a scanner and a database programm. This does it all, catalogue and search by date, subject and by from field. Hope you enjoy it ... :)

This application update your application with a FTP site, (like Norton). The application compare the local and FTP date of the files and update only if FTP was more recent. No component, no OCX, just API You must See !!

A easy/simple way to work out the Index value of a button on a toolbar. Simply move the mouse over a toolbar, and it will work out the index value of the button! *** Please vote for my code ***

This project demonstrates some code concepts such as use of classes, functions, passing variables, and registry control for setting SYSTEM DSN's under ODBC.

detect if you are running in debugmode (vbstudio) or in compiledmode (.exe) at runtime !

This is a binary clock. I saw one in Linux and decided to make one myself. It translates the clock digits to the binary using a formula, and then lights up the pictures in the right places. You can start/stop the clock to check if it is correct.

This class wraps the winsock.ocx methods and properties. This allows you to use winsock functions without putting the ocx on a form. This class can be compiled into a dll if wanted. It was said on the usenet that it could not be done, but I did it. I hope this saves people from headaches and upset stomachs ;-) Enjoy!

Ever wonder how image editors create their angle selectors? Ever needed a dialog to select an angle? This code is for you. Using advanced math functions NOT built into VB, this code creates a selector in a picture box. It has functions to return the ArcSine of a number and to convert degrees into radians and back.

This program will permanently delete all files from a working directory. This program is aimed at beginners so that they can get to know how to use the kill statement, something I learnt recently myself. This program removes all files from a working directory on a computer, but leaves folders intact if there are any contained within the directory itself. This is something I am working on to improve. If you have any comments on this submission, please do leave them since I'd love to hear what you have to say and do vote if you like the program.
