Welcome to the forums!

It is not easy as it looks, I attempted to make one using WPF and C# but was stalled because laying the rules of the game is somewhat difficult. I hope you progress on it, kaya mo yan!

Your best bet is to break it down into steps:

1. Design board and peices
2. Allow the peices to move; anywhere at first
3. Implement rules for moving the peices correctly
4. Incorporate players, where each can move thier peices in turn
5. *** Dificulty here *** Add AI for a computer opponent

Moved from VB6 and Earlier.

I can help, but creating the interface is the easiest part for some people, if you do not even know where to start, this may not be a good project for you.

I will help you any way I can, but I can not write it for you.

The interface is mainly programmer preference. The easiest way for you would be to use pictureboxes. You can also use buttons if you would like to see them "click". The most flexable way would be to draw right on the form, sectioning it off into squares.

What version of VB are you using?

Just saw the VB6 in the previous post. You can create a control array of pictureboxes. Create a form with 16 pictureboxes with the same name each with a different index and arrange them in order.

[hueberting]

oh i see i know dat thanks a lot i know how to use control array .. no problem with the 8x8 interface but how about the piece??? the circle one? how can i create dat...

sir marmar can use give me the link you are talking about using control array

[hueberting]

i want to start my theses plss help ^_^

[MarMan]

Draw a picture in paint.

[hueberting]

but how about the pieces i will use only circle 8 pieces in the red and 8 pieces in the blue how can i make dat???

Why did you mark your thread as resolved?

[hueberting]

im sori my mistake pls help my in making the interface

[hueberting]

i am using vb . net but i cannot create a control array ai dont know how to use vb .net because our professor advice to use vb . net

[MarMan]

There are no control arrays in VB.net. You can either:

1. Create 64 pictureboxes/controls
2. Use 1 large picturebox and determine location by x and y

[hueberting]

ahhh i see the big picture box sets the interface of the board

how can i determine the x and y

[MarMan]

The Mousedown event

[hueberting]

i apologize mr marmar bcoz i dont have any idea with that load procedure but how??

is there have any codings ?? or jsut in the load procedure?

[MarMan]

I don't understand what you don't understand. Divide the width and height by 8 and that will give you the regions of the picturebox that represent squares. If you have a question, please try to completely explain. Don't use less word, use more words.

[hueberting]

it goes like this mr. marmar i have 1 big picture box then i have 64picture box to make a 8x8 board
then my piece is also a picture box i dont know how to make move the piece like after clicking the piece then there is a possible move.

theres too many validation

can u give me the codes sir?

[MarMan]

To move a peice you would just change the Left and Top properties. If you are having trouble with that then this project may be too much for you because that is the easy part.

[hueberting]

i will to do dat in ur words ^_^ im sure ur a good programmer

[dee-u]

How is the project going?

[ticosians]

..me too.. can anyone will help us please.. its really needed

[MarMan]

If you need help then create a new thread.

[ticosians]

..i dont know the codes sir..

[MarMan]

..i dont know the codes sir..

Codes for what? You haven't even asked any questions.

I don't know the codes either since I can't read your mind.

Look at other questions on this forum that are marked resolved. You will see people ask questions and then they get answers or more questions then eventually answers.

[ticosians]

..codes for the damath sir..

[MarMan]

..codes for the damath sir..

Whats a damath? There are several problems with your post.

1) You did not provide what you did.
2) You did not explain what does not work.
3) You did not follow my previous post.

So if you can't follow directions, you will never achieve your goal no matter how many codes anyone provides.

I suggest taking this course: Learn VB then maybe you can ask meaningful questions.

What you fail to understand is even if people can read your mind and provide you with the code you need you will not be able to use it without a basic understanding and all you will do is waste everyone's time who tries to help you. Why do you think no one is responding to you? They all learned that you can't help people who refuse to help themselves. Why am I responding? Perhaps I hope you wisen up. Perhaps I am being dumb.
