I've moved your thread to here which is the proper forum for game-programming questions.

What do you have so far?

It totally depends how you're rendering it. Direct3D? Just don't put that piece of food in the vertex buffers for the next render.

Or are they being drawn by pixels onto a picturebox or something? Then you can draw some background colored pixels over them.

Or are they controls? Then set their hidden attribute.


I know I'm a bit of a prosthelitizer about this, but why ever use VB6 for a new project? vb.net is free and very easy if you're already familiar with VB6.

Just use bitblt. =D Easy. =D
