[AccessD] John Colby-- .Net

Cool!

I am trying to write a version of the old Empire game using VB.Net.  At the
moment I am stalled trying to discover how to display the landscape and
piece icons, and associate them to some sort of control so that I can then
click and do stuff to them.  .Net has so much cool stuff built in that the
whole project is much easier than it would otherwise be.  I am building a
gaming engine that understands the "location" idea as well as the rules for
rolling the dice and deciding who wins a battle, all with the odds table
driven so they can be modified by the player if desired.

Here is some fun stuff to learn .Net
