C# Computer Beeps – Mary Had A Little Lamb

Alex — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:17:32 +0000

While playing around in class we found out you could do computer beeps with C#. It’s actually pretty easy, all you do is a simple Console.beep(int frequency, int length).

After some playing around we managed to come up with mary had a little lamb. It wasnt that hard because someone knew the actual notes for the tune, so we just googled note frequencies, and it was easy. The only hard part was coming up with the timing, which I still dont think is perfect, but whatever.

All I made was a simple form with 1 button that plays the song when you press it. I have included the entire source code (solution file) which also has an .exe file in the \bin\Debug folder. So if you dont have Microsoft Visual Studio, you still should be able to hear it

Any comments are appreciated, ENJOY!

Programming tutorials coming soon…

I plan on taking some time this weekend (April 4-5) to work on some programming tutorials. This semester we have been learning a lot of C#, and Action Script 3.0. We are learning Java this semester as well, but the teacher sucks so we haven’t learned that much.

I only plan on putting up some tutorials on how to do little snippets of things. Little things like moving a guy from left to right, or up and down in Action Script 3.0. Obviously as I learn more complex things, I will share those with you as well and teach you how to do them.

Keyboard Typing Game

This C# game is called “Keyboarding Game”. It has 5 different words at the top of the window that when the start button is pressed, start to fall to the bottom. The text field is then enabled and the user has to type in the words before they hit the text field. After the word is completed, it gets placed to the top and the score gets incremented by 1. If a word hits the bottom, 1 gets subtracted from the score.

You need to have Visual Studio 2008 to open the file. Download the zip file here.
