Visual Basic is HARD!

I'm finding Visual Basic extremely hard to use. using code for it is bery new and its hard to fins examples of codes on the internet. I am going to create the game on visual basic and I also want create the same game on scratch (if i have time) to see the difference between the two programs in terms of how long it is to create and how smoothly does the game work when played.
Some ideas on problems or needs for my assignment including making a spot the difference game (inspired by a japanese game called " Sam X Chara Sagashi Land"). The shell game, where u have to find where the object is in (which shell). or a Guessing game.
I am looking for codes on the internet for Visual Basic that will help me create the game on visual basic.
----
I read over the assignment to see what i have to do. I think ill make a Shell game where you have to find where the object is under, because i think i can do this on scratch as well.Labels: visual basic

Finish with scratch

I finish making the maze and the shooting game
scratch was an extremely easy program to work to create games
but you can't really make other things just games.
So now we are going to start with visual basics and i started looking through it.
Look harder
The program mainly uses codes to create its games and other things.

My Website - Evaluation
Thursday, July 31, 2008

I found making a website fun because i liked making graphics for my website. I learned how to use of different Javascripts that i haven't used before and where parts go.
I learned new programs like front page and it was a good program that helped my learn to create some codes. But i found notepad better and easier for me. I've never used notpad before i always used the program on the website (www.freewebs.com) it was exactly the same only the notepad is already part of the website and you don't have to upload the notepads from your computer.

NotePad Verses Frontpage
10:07 AM
We were trying different programs to create a website.
We were taught how to use Frontpage which is a microsoft program which makes coding easy to use. We were also taught how to use notepad which is also the same thing as the program only you had to create the codes yourself.
Frontpage
I found frontpage a nice easy program to create websites. The only thing is that it found it annoying when i wrote a code and then they automatic added the end of the code
"<> " it would had the ending for it (< / font>).
Also there are some codes i prefer using which is iframes. And front page changed the code after i 'previewed' my website and it change it to a code i wasn't familiar with.
But Front page was good because if you typed a bit of a code sometimes they had to full code so you could just click on it instead of typing it all up. Also they had a button that puts link in for you which i found easy because you can command it to open the link in a new window or on the same browser. Also it was easy to add tables using frontpage and you didn't have to put to code in.
Overall i think frontpage is a good website builder for beginners are is makes it easier for them to create what they want
Notpad
I liked using this because i found it easier to construct the kind of website i wanted. I wanted an iframe website and Notepad was easy because it was a normal word program and it didn't change any of codes unlike frontpage.
The only things that was not like frontpage was you have to save you page as "_____.htm" then click on the file the view it. Also with notepad you have to type up everything yourself.
OVERALL -
I found notepad much easier than frontpage because of the type of website i wanted to make (iframes). Also i didn't mind typing up and copying and pasting the codes and because i could see exactly how it would look on a normal internet browser by simply clicking on the file.

Algorithm

An algorithm is instructions/method, it is usually data processing and calculation. A type of method which has a well defined list of instruction for completing a task or solving a problem.
a simple algorithm can involves making a cup of tea. It would look like this
1.Boil Water
2.Place Coffee in the Cup
3.Place Sugar in the Cup
4. Add the Boiling Water
5.Add Milk
6.Stir
The Algorithm above is an simple example of instructions/method that achieves the goal of making coffee.
Having the steps in the correct order is very important as if it was to be changed then it wouldn't work
For example
changing and 1 it would look like this
1.Stir
2.Place Coffee in the Cup
3.Place Sugar in the Cup
4. Add the Boiling Water
5.Add Milk
6.Boil water
This algorithm is incorrect as the goal or making coffee wasn't achieved as the list of steps are incorrect.

Some Key Terms

Define Protocol
-A convention that controls or enables the connection, communication and data transfer between two computing endpoints. (wikipedia)
The use of differnt Protocols
[IP] - Stands for The Internet Protocol. A data-oriented protocol used for communicating data across a packet-switched internet work.
[TCP] - Stands for The Transmission Control Protocol. One of the core protocols of the Internet protocol suite. TCP is reliable, in-order delivery of a stream of bytes, making it suitable for applications like file transfer and email.
[http] - Stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol .A communication protocol for the transfer of information on intranets and the world wide web. Its original purpose was to provide a way to publish and retrieve hypertext pages over the internet.
[smtp] - Stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. Standard for email transmissions across the internet.
[FTP] - Stands for File Transfer Protocol. A network protocol used to transfer data from one computer to another through a network, such as over the internet.
What Does GUI stand for?
Graphical User Interface
What was it used for GUI?
It was a blank screen with no graphics that we have now. There were different commands and codes that needed to be remembered in order to get to different things. It was much harder then because if we were to forget a command it wouldn't work. Now its much easier it has tabs and graphics to make it easier to navigate instead of having the type commands.
Difference Between serial and parallel data transmissons:
Serial transmission are bits that are sent over a single wire individually and Parallel transmissions are multiple wires. It can transmit mulitiple bits simultaneously, which allows for higher data transfer rates than can achieved than with serial transmissions.
Define URL:
Stands for uniform resource locator. There are two meanings one is it means web page address the other means it is a compact string of characters for a resource available via the Internet.
Components that that make up the URL
Address bars vary in appearance depending on the web browser displayed in. They ususally have a domain name and an origin (for example .com or .org or .gov)
What is a ' error detection':
Error detection coding is designed to permit the detection of errors. Once detected, the receiver may ask for a re-transmission of the erroneous bits, or it may simply inform the recipient that the transmission was corrupted.
Example of a error detection:
Berger code - can detect all unidirectional errors.
