Question

Hi, I am currently using the .net framework, new to it, and having some difficulties trying to create what I want.

in my sparetime, i created a slot machine app for fun, everyting is working as it should, but I cant get the effect to make it look as if the collumn is actually spinning. currently, it shuffles the pictures between the picture boxes, but i want the effect of a spinning wheel for each collum.

Any help or links would be appreciated

Thnx

Your approach is bad. Don't use picture boxes.
I would recommend WPF...

Agreed, I don't think you will be able to easily get the desired result with picture boxes.

Solution 1

To achieve the effect of spinning images then you've to show, at least, an image that is the intermediate between the previous and the current one (for instance, assuming 'spinning down', you should show the bottom half of the new picture together with the top half of the previous one).

i have not yet used WPF, but will have to read up about it. Any links or book suggestions i can have a look at?

Pallini, if i understand you correctly, you are saying that i should for example let an image start at the top picture box, and kind of let it slide down through all of the following picture boxes below it, and then just let the next images follow aswell?
