----------------------------------- Paul Tue Jan 27, 2004 10:23 pm um... crappy horseracing game [Button Update] ----------------------------------- Yawn, so sleepy, I whipped this up in 30 min... You CAN borrow money to bet, but don't run into the Gorilla Thug first time I posted, forgot all the pictures... :shock: Edit: I took off the cls part, so it doesnt flash anymore, and I made each advancement smaller, and shortened the delay, so there should be a smoother animation. ----------------------------------- McKenzie Tue Jan 27, 2004 10:40 pm ----------------------------------- Where did the idea come from? I've been using this as an asignment for 3 years now (at 3 different schools around the province) Pure chance ...maybe. ----------------------------------- Paul Tue Jan 27, 2004 10:45 pm ----------------------------------- the tired brain is a mysterious thing... pure chance... perhaps..., actually I got the idea from my java textbook, an assignment for the "Story of the race between the Turtle and Hare" ----------------------------------- McKenzie Tue Jan 27, 2004 11:02 pm ----------------------------------- Cool, mine came from an old example of rolling dice and counting how many of each are rolled. ----------------------------------- Paul Tue Jan 27, 2004 11:18 pm ----------------------------------- ??? really... I have absolutely no idea how u get from that to this... maybe they both share randomness? ----------------------------------- we64 Tue Jan 27, 2004 11:19 pm ----------------------------------- Hey, good job man that is pretty cool. Just too flashing... my eyes hurt ----------------------------------- Paul Tue Jan 27, 2004 11:35 pm ----------------------------------- uh yea... thats why horse number 4 is called flashy... anyone have any idea how to fix it? ----------------------------------- we64 Tue Jan 27, 2004 11:44 pm ----------------------------------- does that View.Update thing work here? ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Jan 28, 2004 11:11 am ----------------------------------- Good morning everyone, I posted a new version up, on the top of the post. ----------------------------------- shorthair Wed Jan 28, 2004 11:37 am ----------------------------------- Well done , im actually enjoying this bad boy fame ,keep up the awsmoe work ----------------------------------- shorthair Wed Jan 28, 2004 11:38 am ----------------------------------- That game is so much fun , keep goin back for another go , obviously im cheating though good ol source code , keep up the good work paulibian < -- -however the heck you spell that name of yours ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Jan 28, 2004 11:51 am ----------------------------------- yea, I put my first and last name together, cause Im hoping my long lost asian relatives can find me on google, and contact me.

Anyone meet the gorilla thug yet? ----------------------------------- Paul Fri Jan 30, 2004 1:19 pm ----------------------------------- With you people's help, I made my first buttons, and I put them on my horseracing game. Here it is: crappy horseracing game with buttons. I think its still kinda buggy. ----------------------------------- shorthair Fri Jan 30, 2004 1:27 pm ----------------------------------- Well Done , great update ,looks like your learning alot from compsci, glad everyone was here to help ----------------------------------- TheXploder Fri Jan 30, 2004 1:47 pm ----------------------------------- good job, looking much better... One comment though for the source code: gah, so many numbers numbers are not a good thing you know... mousex + 123 - it means nothing to the viewer. But anyways keep it up.. ----------------------------------- Paul Fri Jan 30, 2004 1:51 pm ----------------------------------- mousex + 123? i don't have that on... oh, and the numbers are just my way of programming, they help me tell the position of stuff, relative to each other. ----------------------------------- TheXploder Fri Jan 30, 2004 1:54 pm ----------------------------------- 'mousex + 123' is just an example... ----------------------------------- we64 Fri Jan 30, 2004 2:38 pm ----------------------------------- great program, but I thought you were going to make the buttons up and down... ----------------------------------- Asmff Sun Dec 11, 2011 4:55 pm Re: um... crappy horseracing game [Button Update] ----------------------------------- Why is it when i place a bet for "horseracing" i get Illegal picture ID number '0'? ----------------------------------- zainokay Thu Oct 24, 2013 1:03 pm Re: um... crappy horseracing game [Button Update] ----------------------------------- its not working for me :\
