To create the project, you need to insert three image boxes into the form and program them so that they will display a set of three different pictures randomly when the user presses on the spin button. It involves a randomization process. Next, a timer needs to be incorporated into the procedures so that the program can produce animated effects. In addition, you can also insert the Microsoft Multimedia Control so. Slot Machine Created with Visual Basic. VB2019 VB2017 VB2015 VB2013 VB2012 VB2010 VB2008 VB6 VB Sample Codes 中文VB About Us.

Slot Machine Programming Code

1. Programming Card Games

Few types of games are more popular than card games. Most households have a deck of cards, and probably more fortunes are won and lost over a card table than on a roulette wheel or a slot machine. That popularity crosses over to computer card games as well. The bottom line is that if you're going to be a Visual Basic game programmer, you need to know how to use VB to handle a deck of virtual cards.

Fortunately, Lady Luck is smiling upon you. In this chapter, not only will you create a class for manipulating a deck of cards, but you'll also get a full set of graphical images for your cards. If there's one thing that discourages most programmers from creating card games, it's the daunting challenge of drawing images for 52 cards—especially the face cards, which are the most graphically complex cards in the deck.

Specifically, today you'll learn the following:

• How to write a class to represent a single card

• How to write a class to represent a deck of cards

• How to write card programs using classes

• How to write a simple blackjack game

Deck-Handling Functions

In the following sections, you'll create a class that you can use to program card games. Before creating a class, however, you have to consider carefully the different ways that you must manipulate the data encapsulated in the class. After you've analyzed your game's needs, you can then write the class's functions. Unfortunately for programmers, there are more card games than craters on the moon. This makes creating a complete card class a nearly impossible task. You can never predict all the different ways that you might need to manipulate cards in your programs.

Therefore, the best you can do is to write the functions that every card game needs—such as shuffling a deck and dealing hands—and then add more specific functions as you need them. That's the approach this chapter will take with the clsCard class, which will be used in the next few chapters. After you understand how the clsCard class works, you'll be able to add any other functions that you need to create specific card games.
