In the previous post we analyzed Microsoft Visual Studio, what functionalities and features has, and types of edition. To experience more with Visual Studio and actually see how it feels to work with it, I made a small quiz game project and this post will cover the necessary steps to complete it.
I. Start of the project:
II. Adding images to game
- This operation must be made before we start the design of the game
- Pictures name must be referenced accordingly ( .jpg, .png) into our code. I experienced some complications because of the pictures name however with the help of IntelliSense feature I managed to overcome this.
III. Game Window Design
One interesting aspect I noticed during this operation is that if we move the position of name, question or button answers it will set automatically the new position or size into our code.
V. Results
- After the code lines have been written for this feature I run a test simulation and underneath we can see the result. During the test, inside the "Diagnostic Tools" window, we can notice the impact that our project has on our PC allowing us to correct potential issues from this stage.
VI. Code Lines for Questions
VII. Random Questions Test
- Another Test Run had been executed to make sure that our questions are randomized and the result had been a success as we can notice in the next screenshot.
VIII. Questions&&Answer Case Scenario
- It is important that we tag the correct answer during this step. Failing to do so will result in no correct answer found.
IX. Check Correct Answer
X. Answer Button Design
- To proceed to the next question player must double-click on answer button
XI. Complete Project
-Finally the last screenshot will show my final project window and the added features
This is my first experience with a project of this type and with an IDE software. At the start of the project I was a bit overwhelmed since my coding skills are not strong and I had no experience with Visual Studio however after a few hours everything started to be normal and excitement increased. My coding and IDE knowledge are not strong and unfortunately I can not provide a professional review however, from a beginner point of view I believe that Visual Studio, with all the support features included, it is the ideal IDE for beginners. Inside code editor support, code line suggestions, error library and solution make indeed a massive difference for someone with basic coding skills.
