    Unhappy Animation w/o moving pixels

    Ok, I'm writing a small graphical program/small game that simulates a climber climbing a boulder. I want it to go through several images almost like an animated gif, by having them run through like
    img1.Visible = True
    img1.Visible = False
    img2.VIsible = True
    img2.Visible = False
    ...and so on
    is there a way to do this that I'm just not getting? (mind you I've been coding in vb for a little over a week heh.)Is there a way to set up timers for this to still have a smooth animation? any help is appreciated

    OK, I made this little simple thing. It shows you how you can make an animation using picture boxes and a timer. It's isn't a good way to do animation, but it is a start.


    But by recommendation would probably to start to learn the basics of VB before starting with game programming...

    I have the majority of basics down, just not too keen on timers, i did it for a while a few years ago, just make event happen. But i like to start with the hard things first, and go throught it step by step, its how i learn hehe. I'll check out your file and let ya know if it helped like it should, or if i was too dumb to get it
