Drawing a grid.
okay first I would just like to thank everyone here who has helped me so much and provided so much information.
Second...
I am setting up a snake game, I just like to know a few things. Do I require a GRID? and the grid needs to be the same size as the square obviously but how do you go about moving the snake to the square....
I mean why do I even require a grid? Why cant I move the snake by its own size.
Just need some clarification of the steps i should take to make my snake game. I do not require a tutorial, quiet frankly they are super confusing and everyone has different methods. I would like to do this from scratch.

Re: Drawing a grid.
The only reason you would draw the grid is if you wanted your program to have a grid. You could move the snake on its own.

Re: Drawing a grid.
Hey,
In my opinion you wouldn't need a grid. The snake will move by simply changing the location of the PictureBox, or whatever you are using to make the snake. You would move the PictureBox in the direction of travel a distance which is equal to the size of the PictureBox.
I have noticed that you have posted a few questions on this topic now in the VB.Net forum, but I think you might have some better luck posting in the Games Development Forum, you can find that here:
