[HELP]Hangman

Hey guys I started a game in VB2008 hangman I have all of the GUI finished and need a little but of help on how to code this game, my mind is just puzzled I don't know where to start: Here is a picture of the game Design

I will be on here on my TeamViewer6 conect to me if you can help!

BTW: I am also Live on Windows Live

Split each word. When the user presses a key, it should check if the correct word contains that key. If so, it should insert the character on all red blocks where that character resides. If not, then it should just cut down the character on every single mistake. That's how it works.

If you need help with coding, start coding and ask for help here.

Well the problem is I don't know how the code will look like

lol You did all guide but u dont know how to code it ? /troll

Try on the button search : "Hangman" I think u will find it.

Alright thanks! I like your tutorials :P

Actually I searched but no one has any of the Source codes Just 2 Games came up
The code just seems so confusing to me

Code:

Dim NextWord = "Programming"

If UserPressed="m" Then

For i as integer=1 to NextWord.length
If mid(NextWord,i,1)="m" Then
Me.controls("Textbox" & i).text = "m"
LevelUp+=1
End If

End If

Something like that !

Lol looks like it will take too much time, Alright i think ill Forfiet on this one xD

Meh, 4:06am and I haven't been to sleep yet, and I'm pretty sure I'm still rather intoxicated. Nevertheless I'll do what I can.

Before we start change the "hint" textboxes Name property to something containing "hint", leave the rest as default

Firstly, create an array of your textboxes

Code:

Dim TextBoxes As TextBox() = Me.Controls.OfType(Of TextBox).Where(Function(t As TextBox) Not t.Name.Contains("hint")).Reverse.ToArray

Then define your "word" (you can change this however you want, I just declared word because I'm doing it from scratch)

Code:

Dim word As String = "test"

now that we have our word, we want to assign each letter to a textbox.

Code:

For i As Integer = 0 To word.Length
    TextBoxes(i).Tag = word(i).ToString
Next

The tag is held "behind the scenes" so that's that handled. Next we need to deal with the users input letter. Again I've simply made a variable to hold the input, so you'll need to change it appropriately.

Code:

Dim input As String = "W"
Dim successCount As Integer = 0
For each tBox As TextBox In TextBoxes
    If tBox.Tag.ToLower = input.ToLower Then
        tBox.Text = tBox.Tag
        successCount += 1
    End If
Next tBox

If successCount = 0 Then DoNextHangmanAnimation

And that should be about it. I didn't test any of this, or even put it in the VB IDE, so yeah, hope it works. I'm now going to bed as it's 4:30am. Good night.
