A noob on its way, Making a map?

[Webcreation]

Alright, so here i am 3-4 days after starting to learn autoit, and i find it a great tool to be used in database management.

I greatly apriciate all the effort , especialy that which autoit gives!

So my problem: My idea is to create some kind of map (and create it so that it can memorise this map)? It would be like a chessboard,

Every group of coordinates would be in a block right? So we will have for example A1(block A1) A2,A3, but also B2, B3, or C.

So then i would like the program to react on it, for example i want to go from block A2 to- B4.

In order to do this it will do func() (am i wrong on this, should i put something else instead).

Important to know? There will be a point on screen which will always be the point that moves to the blocks, but its position would still stay the same on the screen.

So im sorry im a nub coming here for help with so little to give in return, in example a piece of code as a start.

I know a lil bit of autoit, getting more into it and would like to know ANY way in how to get CLOSER to knowing WHAT TO DO!

You put a lot of time and effort into writing that post, so it's only fair that I do the same in a reply.

But I can't think of anything else to say, except for padding the post out a bit.

I could tell you the story about when my nana got a jelly fish stuck to her face, or the time I thought I was dreaming, but it turned out I really was in class without my pants on, but that would be more padding out of the post.

Tell us your endgame, because your description could mean anything.

in order to go from C1 to A4 it would need to do a function ( and it will go through blocks on its way)

A1 A2 A3 A4

B1 B2 B3 B4

C1 C2 C3 C4

So for example i like to make a script that would do:

Start A1 then do func recdata()

endfunc

Go B2 (how?) then do func Input()

endfunc

Go... etc

Hope i would be more understandable! Thanks

Are you making a chess game?

in order for what to go from C1 to A4?

[Webcreation]

Not chess but checkers actually, but a simple version that any one should be able to code

[JohnOne]

You are talking about drawing to the screen, I do not believe the is any simple beginners way of doing that.

You want to be looking at the _GDIPlus_* functions in the help file really.

Unless of course you create some sort of board on a gui using labels and colour the labels to represent the pieces of each player etc... to get yourself started.

Thanks i will, if any one else have a simple suggestion.All is apriciated

So i basicly want a map from a .bmp to bitmap? but i dont know if i am tottaly wrong on the bitmap part?! :/

But i was thinking of trying to create a Map (like in chess), and that a movement from one to another block requires commands to be triggerd. How to do so? I was thinking of _GDIPlus_BitmapCloneArea 

in order to go from C1 to A4 it would need to do a function ( and it will go through blocks on its way)

 

A1 A2 A3 A4

B1 B2 B3 B4

C1 C2 C3 C4
