(About the author) |
| | | This is the complete game in code. An addictive colorful, musical Guess-the-word mix'n match puzzle game for up to 2 players, And It's all Visual Basic.
In code it demonstrates:
Animation/graphics,
How to make your own custom toolbar,
Music (MCI32),
Game timing control,
Keeping a Score table,
Mouse control,
A method of employing Shareware.
Programmed in VB4 32bit,
it will compile in VB6. Flip! It was sold as a commercial Game for Windows in the United States and Europe during 1996 and went on to sell over 17500 copies worldwide. I have released it to the Programmers domain so other can learn Windows game programming from it. So you youre not a porgrammer, you can still enjoy the game!

Very Nice! Although even on my 550mhz
comp it runs slow. I was finnaly able
to compile it and it ran great. Maybe
you should add an exe because some
people may not be able to compile it.
Great Game though!

I was sent this by a friend, We have
been playing it for the last few hours,
non-stop!, it is an excellent example
of VB gaming.
I would like to ask,
where have you put all the graphics
stuff, I cant find it.
apart from
that U get 5 brownie points from us!

Looks great.
The images are almost
similar to the graphics on the working
old BBC MicroComputer "memory" game I
have here...
Good old time...

'wildcards' for me :o)

Why did you not include the full game
options? It would have made it better.
Outstanding code by the way! Was it you
on your own or a team?

It was all my own code, 1 programmer, 1
focus.
The full game options are
included, see the txt file contained
in the zip file you downloaded.
It
tells you how to upgrade it, and the
source code shows how it actuallt
works.

I can't tell if it is a great game
it
won't compile, because you used
the
mci32 control, and it does not
come with
the learning edtion of
visual basic,
maybe you can upload a
compiled version?

neat.

Cool game, but graphics are not perfect
(It is too colorful and this make it
boring.) And also it uses TOO system
resources, it is slow even on my
800MHrtz CPU (III) with 256MB
RAM.
Using a better algorithim will
make it great!
But keep
working...
Best regards.
