How you can do this kind of graphic with VB6?

[dbboy]

Dear Friends,
I really appreciate if you can help me in this matter.
I want to have an empty form and 50 pictures.
Each time when the form started or by pressing a button in the form I want 5 random pictures appear into the form with some kind of animation.
I attached a sample of one game which is pretty close to what I want to do.
Thank you in advance.

You might search around this forum for the term: Sprite.

Here is a head start in that regard:

Thanks Quiver318.
I checked it but unfortunatley I couldn't get it to work.I'll try to find out more about the "Sprite" you mentioned.
Thank you anyway.

Sorry that the control did not work for you.

Sprites are small graphics that can be moved around the screen, independently. With Sprites, you can create animated effects, detect collisions (of two or more sprites), and is more or less how all 2D games are made. I guess you could so look into Raster (block graphics) and Vector Graphics (line art), too. Anyway, if you want things to fly around on the screen with user interaction, then I think Sprite code is the way to go.

Good luck!

i'm sorry, but i need more time to finish a little things...
my last graphic effect(intire image transparent) is crazy me....
ok for you start, i can give you some advices:
-use pictureboxes/usercontrol for your poject;
-use the bitblt() api function for move the images;
-use the StretchBlt() api function for stretch the image;
-use the AlphaBlend() api function for put the intire image transparent;
-use the Trasnparentblt() api function for put the backcolor transparent.
i think is what you need for start...
i hope help you.
