I made my first fairly crappy program on my own, yaaay!



First time ever distributing a program, so if I somehow left out a data signature or anything that prevents anti-virus software from mistaking a program as a virus, I apologize in advance. No idea how to prevent that.

Anyway, you just enter the names of your party members and get back a random team. I made this for people like myself who can never decide on a team to use when there are multiple party members. I originally intended it for the Tales series to assist in hunting down Vesperia's elusive group victory quotes and to break out of using the same party over and over. If need be, I can increase the number of party slots if 12 isn't enough, but I don't recommend using this for Pokemon. I might make a separate program for that (I can feel my fingers hurting already...)

So anyway, here's the download link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/68...m+Selector.exe

What language did you use to develop this?

Visual Basic? C#? C++? It has to be one of these three.

Also, here's some virus scan results: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/a...is/1404446364/

Thanks for the virus scan results, Gaborg

I used Visual Basic.

Yup, my first time ever programming was using Visual Basic. Fun language to get into coding.

It's one of your first programs, right? Looks good for a starter.

Good luck with your upcoming programs!

Opening the program didn't set off my antivirus, just prompted a warning stating that it had an unknown publisher and only to run a program from a publisher you trust.

It works well, I had no issues with it. I'm also glad I'm not the only one who has a problem deciding which party members to use. XD I might actually use this next time I play Pokemon, cause I've always got a list of favorites and I can never choose which ones to use.

Le derp. I tested the application again, and I found out that sometimes the last party member will show up as a blank line in the results list when you're fighting with an odd-numbered party. Here's the updated version (It's already in the first post if you've downloaded it already). Now everything should work as intended:

Virus-scanned it again.

Looks good for a first program. One thing you should keep in mind if you haven't already is always use good naming conventions for controls for example form is frm, button is btn, it makes your program easier to keep organised, give things names like txtPartyMember1 rather than label1.

I use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_notation

Thanks, but I guess I should have made that clearer: It's not my first first program. Up until now I've been turning in assignments for class or copying what was written in the book. Now that my semester of programming class is complete, this is the first program I've written without a guide.
