Hello,

A friend of mine still needed a Birthday-present for his Son.
I created a xBrowse-memory-game, because his Son likes this Game very much.
BRAINTRAINING ( not only for Kids )

The Computer-game gives more Fun than the Card-game, because of many extra Functions.
There is still some Finetuning needed, because it is a Game for Kids
and must be hard protected against Crashes.

Functions :
1. Up to 4 Players
There is a Counter for Trials and Goals.
Sample : Player 3 means to know Image-positions.
If he finds a Image-pair he gets a Goal, otherwise + 1 to the Trial-counter

2. Game-creator
change any of the 15 Images of a Game

3. Rearange Images in Preview- or Cover-mode
You can define the Rearange-preview ( Image hidden or shown )
The selected Status is saved to a INI
Hidden, without Preview is very difficult, because You don't know any Positions
after the Image-rearange.

4. Quick Game-changer from Mainscreen
There are 10 Quick-buttons, to change the Game.

Maybe You like it

The Overview :
I created 5 of 10 possible Games.

1. A Image-game



The Usage :

Find a pair of equal Images. Equal cards will stay visible, unequal cards
will be covered again with the next Player-selection :



2. A Brush-game



3. A Button-game ( very difficult, because You have to remember Color and Symbol )



4. Using Symbols



5. Also very difficult



The Game-creator



Best Regards
Uwe

Nice job.

Looks nice Uwe

Nice job... Antonio must insert this game into package !!!

Silvio,

No Problem to include it. It is the decision of Antonio.

1. It is a nice Sample to show, how xBrowse can master different Image-situations.
2. A nice Entertainment for the Family and their Children.
I think everybody knows that Game and Rules.

Best Regards
Uwe

I added some new Functions :

Full new Release 2.3 Download ( 7.3 MB )
12 created Games included
NO Updates to Install !!!

http://www.pflegeplus.com/fw_downloads/memory3.zip

Before You start, You have to HIDE the Images
( You can define the hidden-status at STARTUP, in the Config-section )
Player-mode works different. There You have to choose the next Player
to select a Image-pair.

A Training-mode allows to use just 1 Player ( all Player-buttons are hidden ).
After the 3. Image-selection,
eaqual Images ( pair ) will stay on Screen otherwise covered again.
( No Player to be selected )

also possible wrong usages are blocked with Messages.

A single Player ( training-mode)



The new Config-section



Best Regards
Uwe

Hello,

Nice job.

Please revise:
1. game icon.
2. prevent to expand the window of the game.
3. points counter.



Regards from Poland
Christian T. Kurowski

Christian,
thanks for the Response.
I will have a look at this.

2. prevent to expand the window of the game.

DEFINE DIALOG oDlg1 FROM 5, 0 TO 695, 1010 TITLE "MEMORY 1.1 / 12-Sept-2012" PIXEL
oDlg1:nStyle += (WS_MINIMIZEBOX + WS_MAXIMIZEBOX)
Got it working with the Solution from Mr. Rao !!!

Sound will be included in next Release.

A little Bonus ( Game6 ) :
( something, the Kids will like )
Download :
( please move the included DBF to the Main-directory )

http://www.pflegeplus.com/fw_downloads/game6.zip

Started with first Changes :
Added a Sysmenu, stopped resizing, added Sound and a Reset-button ( Training-mode )
some more will follow.



Best Regards
Uwe

The Final-release ( I hope )
My first try, to create a Game.
Searching in the Internet, I found only Online-Solutions.
Also they didn't offer all the different Settings, I defined in the Setup-section.
Creating Your own Sets, Sound-define, Game-speed, Auto-player-selection, Training-mode ....

Many new Functions added :
1. Soundsupport
2. Delay-time to display selected Images
-- a Value of 1500 is normal. With Kids, a Value of 2500 will be OK ( slow )
3. System-menu added
4. Autochange of Player after the 2. selected Image
-- the activated Player changes to red
-- no Player to be clicked anymore
-- You can define the Start-player with Button-click
5. many new Game-sets added
6. New Preview-mode added
7. The reached Points calculated in %



The Config-section :



New Sets :
Buildings, Cars, Fantasy, Bridges



Flowers and Birds



Best Regards
Uwe

New :
Different Languages and Game-scrolling
( Maybe to include a Language file, to define any Language ? )
Preview / test-mode selected from Setup-dialog completed.
Changing a Game, breaks the Test-mode ( Training-mode is used ).

A Question :
what is the best Solution for Multilanguage-support ( see words on Bottom ) ?
Using a INI, where the user can translate the used words and saving the Fields to a Array,
or another, better Solution. I couldn't find something in the Forum.

Marco,

Thank You very much for the Response

some fixes with new Multilanguage-suport
Language.ini ( English )
German.ini ( German )

A INI-sample :

[Language]
_Game=Spiel
_Trials=Versuche
_Scores=Punkte
_Select=Auswahl
_Player=Spieler
_Training=Training
Button-text can have a included Accelerator &

Now You can rearange the Images in covered mode.
this is the hardest and the chance will be equal for all Players
because there is no Information of any Image-Positions.

Download ( Update 2.3 ) 1.3 MB :

Full Version 2.3 is updated as well !!!

Hello,

here are some Game-extensions.

Download :
( only EXE and modified Game.dbf updated )
Games.dbf includes a new field TITLE, to define a game.
Just replace these files in Your old installed version.
Because of the new browser-selection, You can create Your own games as many You like.
Create a set of family-photos or any other favorite Images.
Some more ideas and improvements are welcome.
I will create some nice backgrounds, to change the overall optic.

http://www.pflegeplus.com/fw_downloads/Memory4.zip

Whats new :

1. select a game from a Browser



2. Add Titles
3. Add / delete Games to the browser

Adding a new Game :
a) Create a subdirectory and include the images
b) Add the game with + to the browser
c) define the 15 Images, brush and cover.
be shure it is complete ( 15 selected cards, background and cover )
before using the < save-button > !!!
Using - delete, only deletes a game from the browser, nothing from harddisk



Best Regards
Uwe

The best is 15 ( 15 pairs a point on each try )
My best was 32 I reached for the moment.
You can add Your own games from inside the config-section ( used image-size 120 x 120 pixel )

A good brain-training !!!
