VB question, Please help

[motocross95]

Well I am trying to make a visual basic program that is like the game of craps. Well you roll dice and what not. It has two forms. One with a command button, I would like it when you press that command button it runs some loops and what not on an image in form 2. Form1 has pictures of dice, when you press the command button on form 2 it moves the dice 2 around the screen on form 1. Anyone know how to do this? That is priority number 1. I don't plan on being able to get priority number 2, but if someone could help me it would be greatly appreciated. As it is now I have the knowledge to be able to move it around the screen by running a loop but the angles are all the same. I get this effect by either adding 1 or subtracting 1 to the image1.left and image1.top values. I would like to make it bounce better at different angles. Does anyone understand exactly what I mean? I hope so. Please help. Because with priority number 2 I have been trying to do something like that for some time now and have yet to figure it out. Thank you for all your help. I can be reached on AIM at SeanTuble as well.

Is this for a school project or something?

well yes, but what I am asking about isn't part of the project it's just extra. We just need to make a craps program that's all.

 

[ren]

depends on the images of the dice
if u could have 6 seperate images of a single die in different positions
have 2 seperate image controls
then have some code like

Dim AValue, BValue
Randomize
AValue= Int((6 * Rnd) + 1)
BValue= Int((6 * Rnd) + 1)

'then an if section

if Avalue = 6 then
Set num6 = LoadPicture("dice6.bmp")
Set image1.Picture = num6
end if
etc....

are the images of the dice you have more complex than this?

I handed in the program and didn't worry about that. Thank you anyway. Now that I think about it I might have another idea as to how to do it, but have no motivation right now. Thanks again.
