Please can you help?? For my MSc project I chose to design a game in the form of moving an image through a maze - for patients with head injuries.
I thought Visual Basic would be good to learn and use for this.
I have spent the last few weeks getting to grips with the basics of VB. Got on well, but now am lost.
It will be a fairly simple maze with increasing levels of difficulty.

Ideally they want to control it with a joystick. (Is this a major hurdle to achieve?)

Anyone got any hints on how to do this as easily and quickly as possible?

Do I need to get into GDI and API's, and co-ordinates?
Or could I get off with manipulating the image's edges within limits dictated by the maze?

Any help is hugely appreciated
Pam

As you see - I haven't got a clue!
