Simple Craps Game

[cfreiling]

Las Vegas Craps Style Game. Simple class project? I've looked Up and Down left to right, back and forth and asked a few classmates but they dont understand why My game does not work. I have the problem here:

--------------------------------------------------
'Calls Function to Roll Dice
Private Function RollDice() As Integer
Dim Die1 As Integer, Die2 As Integer, DieSum As Integer
Dim a As Integer, b As Integer

Die1 = 1 + Int(6 * Rnd()) 'Roll Die1
Die2 = 1 + Int(6 * Rnd()) 'Roll Die2

Call DisplayDie(imgDie1, Die1) 'Draws die1 image
Call DisplayDie(imgDie2, Die2) '<---Have Problem Here.


mDie1 = Die1 'Stores die1 Value
mDie2 = Die2 'Stores die2 Value
DieSum = Die1 + Die2 'Sum Dice
RollDice = DieSum 'Returns die sum to caller
End Function
--------------------------------------------------
The problem is with Call DisplayDie(imgDie2, Die2).
If its not that it usually when:

-----------------
Private Sub DisplayDie(imgDie As Image, Face As Integer)
imgDie.Picture = ("F:\CIS-5\Ch06\images\die" & Face & ".gif")

End Sub
-----------------

When it calls for the picture(image) its generates a mismatch with the & after Face

I've applied the Full Code for the game below

HELP IS WELCOME!!!!
Thanks

Just a guess - where you have

imgDie.Picture = ("F:\CIS-5\Ch06\images\die" & Face & ".gif")

Maybe you could try

imgDie.Picture = ("F:\CIS-5\Ch06\images\die" & Str(Face) & ".gif")

I would have thought that VB would do an implicit cast from integer to string here (the & operator concatenates strings, so the parameters either side must be strings) but perhaps this is causing a problem.

[HarryW]

Now I notice it, why are all these string expressions in brackets?

imgDie.Picture = "F:\CIS-5\Ch06\images\die" & Str(Face) & ".gif"

ought to be fine.

[cfreiling]

Didnt think about Str, But I'll I'll try it. Thanks.
I even looked over another Game that was done the same way. and Couldnt see what was wrong.

Anyways thanks again I'll chekc it and let ya know...

G'nite (so cali)

Nah its still hangin up at imgDie2 when

Call DisplayDie(imgDie1, Die1)
Call DisplayDie(imgDie2, Die2) <---

it does fine with imgDie1???

ERRRRR



"No TV NO BEER MAKE HOMER GO... SOMETHING SOMETHING??"

[HarryW]

Well, umm, sorry that didn't help. I've had one other thought. Perhaps you should use

imgDie.Picture = LoadPicture("F:\CIS-5\Ch06\images\die" & Str(Face) & ".gif")

I don't know why I think that, I've been up all night and it's nealry 9 am so don't assume I know what I'm talking about :)

[/\/\isanThr0p]

what are the names of the pics? is it die1 ...
or is it in the directory die and has the number 1 as name? If yes you forgot a \

[cfreiling]

nah Tried that Still didnt work correctly.
and to "/\/\isanThr0p" its the file name then followed by its face value the file type.

Funny thing is I made a new one, the same way I started with the other one. and it works fine... But I'm still gonna try and figure out the last one....

Thanks again Guys....
