    Talking newbie question!

    I'm programming a little game.
    I'm using pictureboxes with a move function and a timer. But it's not efficient. What should I use and how?

    You should use bitblt, an API call. You can learn about it from this link:

    http://vbden.tripod.com/articles/invmask.htm

    or Fox's website:

    (Just a heads-up)

    There's also an article on how to make a Lander game here at VB-World
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
'Error 9: Overflow
'DON'T PANIC! :eek:

    To learn how to use realistic effects in your games like fire, rain, snow and magic effects, read my article on particles systems here.
