VISUAL C# .NET: A Step By Step, Project-Based Guide to Develop Desktop Applications Kindle Edition

In chapter one, you will learn to know the properties and events of each control in a Windows Visual C# application. You need to learn and know in order to be more familiar when applying them to some applications in this book.

 

In chapter two, you will build a project so that children can practice basic skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division operations. This Math Game project can be used to choose the types of questions and what factors you want to use. This project has three timing options. Random math problems using values ​​from 0 to 9 will be presented. Timing options are provided to measure accuracy and speed. There are many controls used. Two label controls are used for title information, two for displaying scores. There is a wide label in the middle of the form to display math questions. And, long skinny label is used as separator. Two button controls are used to start and stop question and one button to exit the project. There are three group control boxes. The first group box holds four check box controls that are used to select the type of questions. The second group box holds eleven radio buttons that are used to select values ​​that are used as factors in calculations. The third group box contains three radio button controls for timing options. A scroll bar control rod is used to change the time.

 

In chapter three, you will build Bank Code game. The storage box is locked and can only be opened if you enter the correct digit combination. Combinations can be 2 to 4 non-repetitive digits (range of digits from 1 to 9). After a guess is given, you will be notified of how many digits are right and how many digits are in the right position. Based on this information, you will give another guess. You continue to guess until you get the right combination or until you stop the game. On the left side of the form is a large picture box control. On the right side, two group box controls and two button controls are placed. In the picture box, a control panel is placed. In the panel, there are four label controls (set the AutoSize property to False) and nine button controls. In the first group box control, place three radio buttons. In the second group box control, a text box control is placed. The picture box contains an image of bank and a panel. The label controls in the panel are used to display the combinations entered (the BorderStyle property set to FixedSingle to display the label size). The nine buttons on the panel are used to enter combinations. Radio buttons are used to set options. The buttons (one to start and stop the game and another to exit the project) are used to control game operations. The text box displays the results of the combinations entered.

 

In chapter four, you will build Horse Racing game. This is a simple game. Up to 10 horses will race to the finish line. You guessed two horses that you thought could win the race. By clicking on the Start button, the race will start. All horses will race speed to get to the finish line. Labels are used to display instructions and number of horses in a race. Four button controls are used: two buttons to change number of horses, one button to start the game, and one other button to stop the game. The picture box control is used to load the horse image. A timer control is used to update the horse's movement during the race.

 

In chapter five, you will build Catching Ball game. The bird flew and dropped ball from the sky. Users are challenged to position man under the fallen ball to catch it. Labels are used for instructions and to display game information (remaining time, number of balls captured, and game difficulty level). Two buttons are used to change the game difficulty level, one button to start the game, and another button to stop the game. Picture box controls hold images for man, bird, and ball.

 

In chapter six, you will build Smart Tic Tac Toe game. That said, this is the first game ever programmed on a computer and one that had been programmed by Bill Gates himself when he was a teenager while attending Lakeside School in Seattle. The aim of this game is to win the game on a 3 x 3 grid with the victory of three identical symbols (X or O) on horizontal, diagonal, or vertical lines. The players will play alternately. In this game given two game options: player 1 against player 2 or human player against computer. A smart but simple strategy will be developed for computer logic to be a formidable opponent for humans.

 

In chapter seven, you will build Fighting Plane program. This program can be played by two human players or human player versus computer. The controls of the player are done via the keyboard. Player 1 presses A key to move up, Z key to move down, and S key to throw rudal. When you choose Two players from the Options button, this game can be played by two human players. Player 1 presses the same keys, while player 2 presses key K to move up, M to move down, and key J to throw rudal. All label controls are used for titles and provide scoring and game information. The large panel (Panel1) is the playing field. Three button controls are used to start / stop a program, set options, and exit the program. One timer control is used to control game animation and another is used to represent the computer's decision process. The second control panel (Panel2) is used to select game options. One group box contains radio buttons which are used to select number of players. A group box contains radio buttons to select the level of difficulty of the game, when playing against a computer. A small button is used to close the options panel. The default properties are set for one-player games with the easiest game difficulty.

 

In this chapter, you will build Jumper game. In this game, you will move the jumper across the busy road, avoid the tiger, and cross the river with the changing current to get to house safely. You will place four label controls on the top part of the form (set the AutoSize property to False so that it can be resized and the BorderStyle property temporarily becomes FixedSingle so you can see the edges). Then, you use five panel controls below the labels. These panels will be a place for image graphics. Each panel has a width of 16 jumpers or 640 pixels, because one jumper will be given a width of 40 pixels. The first panel will be the jumper house, which will be given a height of 80 pixels. The next panel will become a river, with a height of 120 pixels. The next panel will be a place for tiger, 40 pixels high. Under the snake panel, there is a road panel. This panel will contain three boat lanes. Each boat has a height of 40 pixels, but you will give it a height of 140 pixels (not 120 pixels) to make room for lane markers. The fifth panel is the place where the jumper will begin its journey or leap. This panel will be given a height of 40 pixels. Add the last control panel below the form with three button controls. Then, finally, add four timer controls. Adjust the size of the form so that the panel controls can occupy according to the width of the form.

Rismon Hasiholan Sianipar was born in Pematang Siantar, in 1994. After graduating from SMAN 3 Pematang Siantar 3, the writer traveled to the city of Jogjakarta. In 1998 and 2001 the author completed his Bachelor of Engineering (S.T) and Master of Engineering (M.T) education in the Electrical Engineering of Gadjah Mada University, under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Adhi Soesanto and Prof. Dr. Thomas Sri Widodo, focusing on research on non-stationary signals by analyzing their energy using time-frequency maps. Because of its non-stationary nature, the distribution of signal energy becomes very dynamic on a time-frequency map. By mapping the distribution of energy in the time-frequency field using discrete wavelet transformations, one can design non-linear filters so that they can analyze the pattern of the data contained in it. In 2003, the author received a Monbukagakusho scholarship from the Japanese Government. In 2005 and 2008, he completed his Master of Engineering (M.Eng) and Doctor of Engineering (Dr.Eng) education at Yamaguchi University, under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Hidetoshi Miike.
