Welcome to VBforums jackal.

hi, can anyone help me in making a dama game in vb? thanks a lot.

I wondered what a dama game is so I did a search.

If its just a Turkish checkers game then I'm sure you could adapt a normal checkers game. Do a search on PSC.

@Merri your links doesn't work for me, there is no www.gamerz.net.

Interesting, it still works for me. Maybe it had a temporary downtime?

You probably want to first make a play grid and then figure out how to handle it (= how to change each tile). Simplest way could be to use a bunch of Image controls as a control array. You make a control array by first dragging one control on the form, then looking at the properties of that control and look for Index. For the first item you set the Index to 0. Then you copy the control and paste another.

Note that we don't really know how skilled you are, so we can just give some general help at the moment. Putting in the obvious, but we also can't guide the entire game making process as it takes a long time and there are many small details which each need to be paid attention to, most of them are your worries. We're not willing to do it all, like, I'm not going to go so far as to learn the rules of the game. Basically you get started with something, have a problem and ask for help, we answer the best we can, you continue, have a problem, ask about it etc. Just try to concentrate into one detail at a time instead of trying to do everything at once and it should progress nicely. You may need to redesign something again in a different way, but that's natural. Can't learn without mistakes.

Thanks Merri. i made the program but i'm still at the beginning. I still don't know how to create a AI or Computer opponent. I'll post my code here.
