I am using visual basic 2005 currently. I need to create a form for a board game named "skully" (http://www.streetplay.com/skully/board.shtml). What would be a good way to create the board? Btw, I am a newbie with only a basic knowledge of visual basic. I was thinking of using labels in order to create the board. What do you guys think?
Yes, using picture boxes and labels would work. To make it really look good, you'd just make a board graphic in something like Photoshop or Gimp and paint it directly on your form.
okay, thanks for the opinion.
In 2008, I made a Snakes & Ladders game (with some assistance). For that I just used panels and labels for the board. I found an alternative on the internet, and that was to design a graphic and put it in the form.
I agree with the suggestion for you to use picture boxes and labels, or alternatively, make a graphic in Photoshop or a similar program and paint it directly on to the board.
