This is a sliding tile puzzle game. Reassemble the scrambled picture by sliding the tiles around. You might want to view the screenshot to see what I mean. The nice thing about this game is you can use any picture you want (image size is 480x480). Also you can have anywhere from 9 tiles (3x3) to 100 (10x10). If you modify the code slightly you can have as many tiles as you want, actually.
After being disappointed with so many of the other Tetris clones out there I decided to make my own. What you'll notice different about mine is the smooth piece falling (pixel by pixel instead of block by block) and the ability to speed up the falling rate rather than having the piece instantly hit the bottom. Also, I thought it would be helpful to be able to see the next four pieces instead of only the next one. I wrote this code a while back when I was first learning VB so the code is pretty sloppy and not well documented. Sorry about that, but I hope you can still get something out of it. If you like this, please vote for me! :-)

I hope I'm not the only person who wants to cringe every time I see something like "You have been online for 1 minutes." 1 minutes?? I see this kind of thing everywhere; here on PSC, even. It looks very unprofessional to me, and it's so easy to fix! That's why I listed this code as beginner level. Hopefully, Planet Source Code will implement this code and I won't have to see that I got an excellent vote from "1 users." ;-) I would like to hear any comments you have about this code. Also, please click to see my other submissions to PSC. My latest program, Music Maker is nearing the top of the Code of the Month list. If I can get a few more votes it would really help me out! :-) Thanks for looking!
This program allows you to create your own midi music. I tried to make the interface easy and efficient to use but I'm sure it could use some improvement. It's similar to MarioPaint's music designer. Some planned improvements: * Improved overall controls * Semi-transparent highlighting instead of cross-hatch pattern (Please email me if you know how to do this) * Ability to export a Midi (.mid) file * Drums * Volume control * Pitch bending. I've included some sample songs. Please feel free to leave comments. I'd like to know of any suggestions/criticism etc. you might have. Also, I'd really appreciate it if you'd vote for me. Thanks! Update: I just uploaded a newer version. The main difference is that the form is now resizable. Also, you can place the red column by clicking on the top black bar. While you have an area selected you can now transpose just that section and you can assign an instrument to all the selected notes of the current track. I think I added some more stuff too but I can't remember now.
Enter your longitude and latitude and the program will display the positions of all the stars in the sky as viewed from your location. Place the cursor over a star to get more information. Click on the picture window and press the right and left arrow keys to move one degree in that direction. Hold Shift to move five degrees and Ctrl to move a quarter degree. Obviously, there's a lot more that could be added to this program (saving your location, for example) but it works as is and I've gotten a little tired of messing with it. :) Feel free to make additions to it. Also, comments and votes are welcome. Thanks!
This program was inspired by the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 hue test which measures how good a person's color vision is. Each row, when in its proper order, contains a number of color swatches, each one just a slightly different color than its neighboring squares. The program starts with each row randomly mixed up (except the squares to the far left and right) and you have to put them in order by dragging and dropping squares to the left or right. I've included many parameters you can adjust to make the task more challenging/interesting. When you want to check your accuracy click the "Show/Hide Numbers" and a number will appear on each square, indicating its proper position. Squares in the right position will show white numbers and those out of position will have red numbers. In addition to being a good color vision test I've found it's kind of fun to just play as a game (for me at least).
I wrote this simple little program to help me get the best quality DivX encodings by figuring out the maximum video bitrate that will allow the file to barely fit on one CD (700MB). For those of you unfamiliar with DivX, it's the video equivalent of an MP3. It allows you to compress an entire DVD movie to fit on one CD at nearly the same quality. The bitrate calculator I was using before displayed the bitrate in 1,024-bit kilobits, but the DivX codec uses 1,000-bit kilobits, so my finished files came out about 20MB too small, so that's why I wrote this program.
Music Maker is a music editor you can use to create your own midi music. I've made several improvements since the last version but the most notable is that you can now export your music to a standard Midi (*.mid) file. I've also included a help document that will teach you how to use it if you have any problems. As always, I really appreciate any comments you might have, and of course, votes! :) Thank you!
