coding challenge Chess

I tried to make a chess game with vb.net under visual studio 2013.

Info:
I wrote this application in vb.net. As you maybe can see the gui is dynamical generated. I use a lot of panels.
I just needed about 2000 rows for this result. There is one interface called Figure and all the others will extend it.

If you have questions please write.
Maybe you wonder why I haven't used the standart MVC and didn't separate the model from the gui as usually. My intension wasn't to create a real chess app. I wanted to show how you can code an evealuating system for figures and their possible moves. As you can see I used the hole field as an Array and calculated then with with formules for each group of figures their possibilities at the play time.

Coding challenge Pong

I made a little Pong game, in Java and Slick2D

Info:
A very basic application every programmer knows. Originally developed by a swiss student in the 20th century. I wrote it in java 8 under Netbeans with slick2D a child library of lightweight java game library.

Coding challenge Tetris

I made a little Tetris game in Java and Slick2D

Info
Propably the most famous computer game in the world. Tetris.
I needed about one day to write it.
Heere are my Tipps:

• Strukturize the background in rows and comlumns with coordinates.
• Write a class for one Cube. This is necessary, beacause after your figures are at the bottem the app should count only the cubes per row.
• Use a Timer for the pseudo gravity.
• To rotate the figures , please remember that you should do it centered.

For me it was a lot of fun, and only about 400 rows of java code. So when you have a fiew minutes, then do it. It will be great.

used: Java 8 and Slick 2D

python to msi ~(Windows Installer)

Info:
When you develop a lot of python applications and you want that your next script is close sourced, then you are right with this article. I explain you have to compile a python application and generate a msi Windows installer. For that i use cx_Freeze.

Built Script:

company_name = 'Marcins Programms'
product_name = 'Sokrates'

bdist_msi_options = {
    'upgrade_code': '{Banana-rama-30403344939493}',
    'add_to_path': False,
    'initial_target_dir': r'[ProgramFilesFolder]\%s\%s' % (company_name, product_name),
    }

path = sys.path
build_exe_options = {
"path": path,
"icon": "brain.ico"}

base = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
    base = "Win32GUI"
 
exe = Executable(script='Sokrates__PYMATH.py',
                 base=base,
                 icon='brain.ico',
                )

setup(  name = "Sokrates",
        version = "1.1",
        description = "Powerfull Calculator for all plattforms",
        executables = [exe],
        options = {'bdist_msi': bdist_msi_options})

run this script with a batch file:
py build.py build
py build.py bdist_msi


You need cx_freeze
