Mini Half-Life 2 Box Art puzzle game

[FictiousWill]

I had a few minutes to spare tonight so I spent ten minutes coding a puzzle game that lets you rearrange and put together the HL2 newly released box art.

All I can say is: x100000

Some file is missing , it says.. Grrr

 

[FictiousWill]

It works fine for me and some others I've tested it with. You may need the Visual Basic Runtimes.

Component 'PICCLP32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

try this:
tribolic.com/webminer/support/RegAll/Files/PICCLP32.OCX

put it in windows\system

then do this:
start -> run:
Regsvr32 PICCLP32.OCX

that should work.

It worked, thanks!

Yikes, asdf, thanks for the help there. Do you know how I can package the program with that file to reduce dependencies?

 

[Reven]

This is a program that adds OCX and Dlls to the exe and extracts to system folder. I havnt seen it but some one on my forum said it worked. Url is www.collakesoftware.com/ it's called PEbundle i believe but its not free :| its like 29$ (unless you work in a company ), other then that i dont know how, maybe the VB6 setup maker program includes the OCX files? im not sure, never used it, its ugly :E

Wow! now i have something to do!!! yay!! :thumbs:

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Hmmm....I got it all except for the left 4 and had to press new because i couldnt be bothered.

 

[Gorgon]

It does not work dude. Hmm ok Fix it then

 

[FictiousWill]

Sorry folks. Ok, it's packaged and all setup with an installer and the whole bit. It's such a small program I didn't think it would be necessary to include all the runtimes and stuff. Apologies again. Here is a link to a working version:

Click here ...please?

 

[Reven]

yay vb6

 

[FictiousWill]

I know I know but try coding that same app in vc++ in ten minutes, eh? Dev time is what counts......and laziness....that too. VB is quick and cheerful, I know the whole story. I can code in C++ or VB, and Vb's just faster. C++ doesn't have dependency fiascos like this though....................

 

[Reven]

yea, nothing agenst vb

i prefer asm :E and vc++ (both of which im learning )

 

[FictiousWill]

Wow, I actually bothered to complete the puzzle. Time: 186. The picture blips to the right when you finish it - lol I never actually did the puzzle during debugging. Still, I was rather surprised when the pieces fitted. For a while I thought there was some complexity I wasn't seeing and the generated puzzle was always insolvable. But no, it's offical, it can be done.
