Hi,
I'm trying to create a game of battleships Visual Studios using C# code but i'm not doing to well. I want to be able to move the ships around the screen when the user must choose where to place their ships, which i have don but i also want them to be able to snap to a grid i have created when the ship is over it. For the grid i have a series of loops featuring x and y coordinates but and the x coordinate changes every time the loop runs. As for the y coordinate it changes with each loop. On top of this at each point created a dynamic button has been put there. I am wondering if it is possible to implement this into the code i already have and if not what do i have to change so i can accomplish this event. This is the code i have come up with so far:
namespace Battleships___A_New_Beginning
{
public partial class Selection_Screen : Form
{
int tag1 = 0;
Point[] grid = new Point[100];
Point Move1;
Point Move2;
Point Move3;
Point Move4;
Point Move5;
int x = 0, gridCount = 0;
public Selection_Screen()
{
InitializeComponent();
grid1();
grid2();
grid3();
grid4();
grid5();
grid6();
grid7();
grid8();
grid9();
}

{
}

{
x = 30;// sets a loop that runs ten times( createing ten grid points along X axis) before stoping

// Create a Button object

// Set Button properties

// Add a Button Click Event handler
