BLASTER is a pure VB 2D space shooter originally by HLMODER ( http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=72921&lngWId=1 ) I was so impressed by how fast and smooth it ran I decided to take up the project to see what I could with it. I have made changes to virtually all the code, added many new features and changed some of the graphics. There are several thing I still want to add such as more levels and bosses but the big one is to add sound.

Gear simulation! You select a gear (by clicking the very center of it) and adjust the parameters. Spin the gears with the Rotate slider. Based on Gear-Box by Emilio P.G. Ficara http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=73622&lngWId=1

Racko card game. It's fun! It's addictive! Play against 1, 2 or 3 CPU players. Instructions included in the help chm. Be first to score 500 points in several rounds of play. Each round, you replace the cards in your rack so their numbers read in any numerical progression from a LOW number at the front to a HIGH number at the back. [Update Jan 11: Various changes and new features]

This is a very advanced calculator to calculate very precisely the time dilation at a specified voltage for common off-the-shelf flux capacitors. The result is returned in 2 bananas (monkey notation) as that is teh standard in this field. Don't forget VOTE ME!!!!1

This is Dolac's original Fractal Clouds with the addition of an interface that allows you to easily adjust parameters and find and save new patterns. Dolac's version can be found here http://www.Planet-Source-Code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=73814&lngWId=1 [ UPDATE: added resizing so now you can make nearly full screen clouds! ]

This little utility takes text file(s) and make a string table resource file (.RES). A string table in a resource file can be very useful but difficult to make using VB Resource Editor as it cannot import text files nor allow you to copy and paste text! IMPORTANT: This utility uses rc.exe and rcdll.dll that comes with VB6. It should be in the Wizards directory of VB6 if you installed the all extras with VB. You will likely have to modify the path to rc.exe as I have hard-coded it in the program. Look for it in the zip if you need it. [UPDATE May 2 2011] Fixed an issue with commas in text files being split to a seperate ID [UPDATE Aug 25 2011] Minor program changes, layout, comments, etc

Watch the computer play Pong and score the time! Both sides are controlled by the computer but the right side seems to score 60 times more often... go figure! (update: fixed a few graphical issues)

This is my little barcode maker for 3 of 9, interleaved 2 of 5, code 128, & codabar. All done with code, no special fonts required. (update: fixed issues with i25 & codabar)

[Update May 2011] I decided to revamp this old submission with some new features such as selectable keyboard mapping, sustain via the shift key, playback timing should be a little better, and a few other things too... [Update Aug 2011] Minor changes + new demo songs This is a major update on Armin Niki's very nice MIDI polyphonic "Piano" submission CodeId=64928. New are selectable instruments and improved record and playback and keys displayed as they are played. Most of the original code has been revamped, but I'm sure there is still room for improvement. Armin approved of the changes and I was hoping that he would update his submission, but since he has not I am making this one.

This is my take on the Simon game... using MIDI to make the notes and LaVolpe's RegionShape2 & Carles P.V.'s Fast Gradient to make the buttons. The tone (midi instrument) can be selected by right clicking on the form.

3D-ish LED display that rotates. Looks nice! This is kind of a cheap hack of Simon Lynn's 3D Rotating DNA project CodeId=13973 (code of the day earlier this week) Emphisis on "cheap" :-)

A simple tool for decoding resistor colour codes. I made this just because someone recently submitted a complex *text* based application (with no colours!) to do the same thing. There are a few of these already here on PSC but all the ones I looked at still used drop down combo boxes to select the name (thats still text!) of the colour. Thomas, I hope its ok that I borrowed your resistor.

This is a new twist on Minesweeper with its hexagonal tiles. Uses recursive subrutine to clear out open area and transperant BitBlt to draw the tiles.

This is a complete screen saver featuring my exploding flower routine. It has several options for you to play with in the setting screen. And of course it supports the preview window and passwords!

This is a new twist on Minesweeper with its hexagonal tiles. Uses a subrutine recursively to clear out open areas and transperant BitBlt to draw the tiles(fast!). 3 difficulty levels. Straight foward, commented code. Now with custom level & high scores!

I saw some code using a barcode font and knew i could do it with code alone. This is so simple it's one Sub only! (command1_click)

Give it a picture file and a text file and be amazed at the output. The resulting html page will fascinate your friends for many a minute. /*Update: Stall bug should be fixed now*/

There was a rash of polygon screen savers appearing here so I thought I'd make one that is at LEAST nice to look at! This isn't a screen saver yet just the fun part. Will mezmorize you for minutes on end. Uses the polygon API. ** See the full screen saver version here: http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=52391&lngWId=1

Generate 3 of 9 barcode (in just 1 sub). No special fonts used, just code. This is an update to one of my old submissions.

This is a reusable module for reading 3 of 9 barcode from an image such as a scanned page. I have included in the zip an image with barcodes for testing.
