This is the complete game in code. An addictive colorful, musical Guess-the-word mix'n match puzzle game for up to 2 players, And It's all Visual Basic.
In code it demonstrates:
Animation/graphics,
How to make your own custom toolbar,
Music (MCI32),
Game timing control,
Keeping a Score table,
Mouse control,
A method of employing Shareware.
Programmed in VB4 32bit,
it will compile in VB6. Flip! It was sold as a commercial Game for Windows in the United States and Europe during 1996 and went on to sell over 17500 copies worldwide. I have released it to the Programmers domain so other can learn Windows game programming from it. So you youre not a porgrammer, you can still enjoy the game!

Very Nice! Although even on my 550mhz comp it runs slow. I was finnaly able to compile it and it ran great. Maybe you should add an exe because some people may not be able to compile it. Great Game though!

Looks great.
The images are almost similar to the graphics on the working old BBC MicroComputer "memory" game I have here...
Good old time...
5 'wildcards' for me :o)

Why did you not include the full game options? It would have made it better. Outstanding code by the way! Was it you on your own or a team?

It was all my own code, 1 programmer, 1 focus.
The full game options are included, see the txt file contained in the zip file you downloaded.
It tells you how to upgrade it, and the source code shows how it actuallt works.

I can't tell if it is a great game
it won't compile, because you used the
mci32 control, and it does not come with
the learning edtion of visual basic,
maybe you can upload a compiled version?

Cool game, but graphics are not perfect (It is too colorful and this make it boring.) And also it uses TOO system resources, it is slow even on my 800MHrtz CPU (III) with 256MB RAM.
Using a better algorithim will make it great!
But keep working...
Best regards.
