Some fun Visual Basic games and puzzles

Attached are 11 neat visual basic games/puzzles I designed (I didn't see a code bank in the visual basic forum so I posted them here.) All games/puzzles have been fully tested and are guaranteed virus free. You also don't need to register any "activeX" controls as none are used in any of the code. No 3rd party software is needed and you don't need visual basic or visual studio to run them. Just unzip each game/puzzle in the VBGamesByPK.zip file and run the executable. There is NO install/uninstall routine (i.e. it doesn't write to the registry or register any software) - just delete the executable to remove them.

Puzzles are:
5 Gallon Puzzle (easy puzzle taken from the movie Die Hard)
BlueToRed Puzzle (move the red pegs to the blue and vice-versa - challenging)
Circles (my favorite - match the pattern and colors on all the circles - challenging)
LightsOn (turn on all the lights puzzle redone from the web with solution)
Lines (an interesting rotate/swap/color matching lines puzzle)
MathPuzzle (an easy arithmetic puzzle)
PuzzleGame (make 15 in all directions - challenging first puzzle I designed)

Games are:
At The Track (bet on the motorcycle (horse racing type) game with cheats)
21 Card Game (fun solitaire cellphone game I recreated)
Dice Game (my favorite - eliminate all the numbers based on the roll of the dice)
Simon (based on the simon game - see if you can reach 50 clicks.)

If you like one of the puzzles or games and you want the source code, drop me an email at pkohn@charter.net. There are some good vb code samples in them which I can supply you upon request.

Feel free to pass them on to anyone else which might like them. I only ask that you give me feedback on how you like them.

See if you can solve some of the challenging puzzles and drop me an email.
