Create a video slot machine using Visual Studio and writing all of your code in VB.

The video slot machine must look like a video slot machine.  You can use a picture that is open source or design your own

Before the video slot machine runs, the program must ask for the username so that it can be recorded for later for the high scores page

The username cannot be less than 1 character and not more than 3 characters.  If they are, the username must be entered again until it meets this criteria

The video slot machine should have 3 windows (picture reels), so that the pictures for the slot machine reside in those windows

Each Window must display a total of the same 5 pictures, to be used for calculating the winnings

Each Window must show a random picture and must use animation to make it look like the reels are spinning

You must use a total of 5 or more different winning combinations, which you can make up at your own discretion, use your imagination – for example:

Cherry – cherry – cherry (wins 800)

Apple – apple – apple (wins 400)

Cherry – apple – pear (wins 200)

Etc.

The video slot machine will have two additional windows at the bottom of the reel windows

Credits

Credits will start with 2000

Each spin will cost 200, so this must be deducted from the Credits

When credits hit 0, the program ends

Winnings

Based on the winnings in 2c above, those winnings get displayed in this window if won, and on the next spin, that window must be blank again unless a winning combination is won

The winnings gets added to the Credits window above

There will be three button controls that the user can select

Spin

Selecting this button spins the wheels

When this button is pressed, the credits for the spin are subtracted from the total credits window

Exit

user exits the application if the credits have not reached 0

When the program exits, a High Scores window is displayed and based on the username entered in step 1, the high scores window gets updated

Show Winning Combinations

When this button is selected, a new window will pop up with the combinations that were described in 2c and show the users those combinations so that they can know what they need to spin – This is an informational window only

High Scores Window

The high scores window keeps track of the highest totals in credits scored

The high scores will get updated with the username if the program is exited from the exit button

If the credits become 0, the high score window is not displayed

Week 2 Exercise

Given a simple business problem, design a solution algorithm that uses arithmetic expressions and built-in functions.

Assignment:

Your goal is to solve the following simple programming exercise. You have been contracted by a local restaurant to design an algorithm determining the total meal charges. The algorithm should ask the user for the total food purchase and the tip percent. Then, the algorithm will calculate the amount of a tip, a 7% sales tax, and the total meal charge (including tip). The food purchase, sales tax, tip amount, and total meal charge will need to be displayed to the customer.

Be sure to THINK about the logic and design first (IPO chart and pseudocode), then code the Visual Logic command line processing. Display all output using currency formatting (built-in Visual Logic function).

Week 6 Exercise

Assignment: Arrays are incredible fun! Today we are going to work on a program to keep track of our homework scores for a math class. Write a program that accepts five homework scores as input values and stores them into a table (which is another name for an array). Once the scores are in the array, we can process them again and again.

First, load the scores in your array. Second, display the contents of the array in order. Third, display array in reverse order. Fourth, calculate the average of the five scores entered in the array. Finally, the algorithm should display all the homework scores in the array that are larger than the previously calculated average. Make sure you use some output statements to clarify all the details you are displaying, being cautious about spelling and communicating to your user.

CIS 115 Week 7 Lab Fireworks Stand Checkout (Devry)

In this lab, you are going to extend the Fireworks Checkout Stand application in Week 6. This week, we will be more efficient by using files and modularizing the program. This week, we will also load our array of valid zip codes from a text file. In addition, we will modify the existing code to create a modularized design.

Load the array via a .txt file. Prompt to see if the user wants to search for a zip code. Prompt the user to enter a zip code and search against the array. If the zip code is found in the array, continue processing the sale. If the zip code is not found in the array, display a message stating, “State law prohibits selling fireworks for people living in the zip code”. Modularize your code.

Be sure to THINK about the logic and design first (IPO chart and/or pseudocode), then code the Visual Logic command line processing.
