Hey Guys. New programmer, just found these forums while surfing, look pretty sweet.

I just did a small project for class that i'm pretty proud of. Its a simple blackjack game written in VB.net, you can check it out on sourceforge @ http://sourceforge.net/projects/blackjack-by-kj/

This was my first major thing I programming project I have done for myself, what do you think?

don't get too worried, my OS (xp pro) is pretty well hosed at this point, and heavily nLite'd.

boy, the splash screen sure looked good though

Hey man, thanks for the responce and code, I would have never have realized it dosen't work on any other computer.

I messed around with the coding again a bit, and it should work now. I tested it on another computer that dosen't have VB.net and it worked fine. So here's hoping!

http://sourceforge.net/projects/blackjack-by-kj/

Thanks again!

works like a champ!

neat!

Ran fine on mine first try with original code. Looks very professional. Nice job zeno. Welcome to the forum

It is good to have another coder around.

Thanks guys. Glad it finially works.

I hope to continue on with it and level out any glitches that appear (like todays, good job I signed on here) and get some tips from professional coders on how to make it a clean-cut blackjack game. So far, the Ace's only count as 11, I have some things to try to make them show up as only 1 when the time calls for it.

I still also have to fix the notification for when you actually get "blackjack." Still its far from finished, but I wanted to share it to get some ideas.

Thanks again for the comments, i'll definetly be sticking around. What coding do you have around your belt dman?

I am jack-of-all, master of none except maybe Visual Foxpro. Thats the only one I had a steady coding gig in anyway. Now I do whatever freelance I can get... VFP, VB6, .NET, HTML, PhP, DB design and SQL. Whatever someone wants to pay me for. I can work with almost anything except could never really get my head around C++ GUI apps. Kinda specialize in Database Apps. I Have been working with Python lately. That is very cool language because it is truly cross-platform. Same code runs on Win32, Linux and mac (well, mac is a little bit of pain) check out link in my sig for Python dev framework "dabo"

again, welcome to forum.
