Random Numbers

Random Numbers

• Make a variable to store the random number you will generate: Dim intRandomNum as Integer
• Make a random number generator: Dim randomGenerator as new Random
  • The word 'new' is vital
• Use the random number generator to make a random number:

       ex.  intRandomNum = randomGenerator.next(1, 11)

• Above will make a random number from 1-10 and store it in intRandom
• Do something with the random number you made: lblRoll.text = intRandomNum

Dice Program

Make a program that allows a user to click on a button that says "Roll Die". When the user clicks on the button, generate a random number in the range of 1 - 6 and display it in a Label and a Picture of the face of a die with that number.

• Addition 1: Have the program roll 2 dice, and display the two rolls and the sum in separate labels. (you will need two integer variables, one to save each roll) Use 2 PictureBoxes to display the correct faces of the Dice as well.
• Optional Addition 1: Allow the user to select the number of sides on the die before it is rolled.

Challenge Program: The Un-clickable Button

Make a program with a Button that can't be clicked. Each time you move your mouse to this Button, it should 'jump' somewhere else.

• Generate random numbers for the x and y coordinates of it's Location property. Make sure you pick values so the Button doesn't jump off the Form altogether.
• Pick an appropriate event to cause the jump.

Change the Location property to a new point:

btnDone.Location = New Point(intX, intY)
