With this code, when you type a period, the text in that hidden label 'sneaky' will change to whatever is in the hidden textbox, without the period. Sneaky.Text = (hidden.Text, Len(hidden.Text) - 1) If you typed 'Hello', then the petition box will say 'Pleas' because this is the first five characters of the sentence. The next line changes the text in the petition box to 'Please answer the following question.' However, it only shows the number of characters that you have typed into the hidden box. Petition.Text = ('Please answer the following question:', txtLen)Įvery time you type something into that hidden textbox now, the value of txtLen, which is a variable, will change to the number of characters (letters, spaces, etc.) in that box. Make sure they are after the 'Private Sub' line and before 'End Sub' Now, go below the 'Private Sub' line to write your Event Handler. 'Dim' means that the next word will be a variable that can be changed, and it is of the type Integer, which is a number that cannot be a decimal. Instead, click above the words 'Private Sub' and above that line, type: Although it might help you to understand what's going on better if you know how to write Visual Basic code, you don't need to for this Instructable, as I will tell you exactly what to write and explain it.ĭon't worry about what just appeared for now. The Express version, which is what I have, is free, and offers most of the same features as the full version. To begin, all you need is Microsoft Visual Basic, a program that can be downloaded from Microsoft's web site. This Instructable will show you how to make a program similar to this, but not entirely the same, to trick your own friends! The program automatically continues with the pre-written petition so the friend can't see what is happening. The trick is that the user secretly enters the answer to the question into the 'petition' box by typing a period, then the answer, and then another period. as long as the user knows the answer, that is. 'Peter' will, amazingly, answer the question correctly every time. Hello everyone! In this Instructable, I will show you how to amaze your friends with a game based on the Internet site Peter Answers, a trick in which the user tells a friend to ask a question to the great 'Peter', first petitions Peter with a greeting and then types the friend's question in the box.
