Visual Basic – Project List #1

 

You now know enough to complete a project using your skills in Visual Basic!  Here is a list of sample projects to consider.  Or you may have an idea of your own.  I will need to know what you plan to do.

 

Pick a project and E-mail your lab instructor your choice. If it’s still available, they will let you know. The projects will be assigned on a first come first served basis – what looks good to you? The limit for each project is three variations. (3 people each doing the same project)

 

Here they are!

1. Checking Account
   The checking account starts with $500. The user can click Deposit or Withdrawl buttons, with an amount specified in a box. The balances are written out to a file.
   
   
2. Your Weight on a Different Planet
   The user can enter the name of a planet (or its number from 1 to 9). They enter their weight. The tool computes their weight on that planet.
   
   
3. Vending machine.
   The user can click 5 cent, 10 cent, or 25 cent buttons until they accumulate enough money. Then they click on a product button to buy it.
   
   
4. Paycheck calculator
   Start with input for hours worked. Anything over 40 hrs is overtime (time and a half). Calculate gross pay. Then take away 15% fed, 5% state, and $50 dues to get the net pay.
   
   
5. Determine if an input number is odd or even.
   
   
6. Fox, Goose, Grain, with the farmer taking the boat back and forth across the river. There are rules on who can be in the boat on each crossing. They have to press the buttons in the right order.
   
   
7. Basic combination lock.
