A FAST and EASY way to count the number of occurrences of one string within another! Please vote for this tip if you find it useful.
There are many methods you can use to return certain parts of a fully qualified path to a file. Here is the SHORTEST and FASTEST way to 1) return just the path, 2) return just the filename, and 3) change the extension of a filename. The code is so short that it is probably faster to keep it inline than to create additional functions. (I've done so here to better illustrate the parameters.
What this code actually does is configure any system with a cable modem that is running windows 95/98/Me to run atleast 50% faster than before. This is not only my first submission to PSC but its also my first program in visual basic. So feel free edit it anyway you want but please send me a copy of what you have done so I can check it out :) I would check my speed on a site like http://bandwidthconnection.com/speedtest.html to see what your difference in speed was from the before and after. Hey if it helped and you like it give me a good rating. That does wonders for my self image :P
This is pretty simple code that fakes your own graphics format to protect the bitmaps from being modified. Its really simple code so its pretty self explanitory.
Aim of the game is to land a space craft onto a moving platform.
