guys im really stuck on how to code something, ive searched every but all i get is stupid answers about SQL replication of databases.Im trying to make a bacterial replication program ( very basic, just a dot,becoming two dots then four dots). also i want to be able to change the time settings i.e. 24 hours in real time is 24 seconds in the program. Please dont say try it yourself, also to keep the replication within a normal form sized page i.e. boundaries.ow us code because im a beginner and i hardly know much about coding just the basics. also if you could keep your answers very instructive as i may not understand you or how to do something. All help is appreciated.
in visual basic 2008

Are you expecting someone to write the code for you?
Start with the screen.. typically grids are good for these.. what are grids? Two dimensional arrays. Any basic 'game of life' in vb.net can tell you how to do that.. or basic graphic tutorial show you how to use the window form's "paint event" to do some drawing.

Okay dokey.. then before you head off on this path it might behoove you to get a better feel for VB.NET... I am not sure if I explain events, arrays, and the graphics object that any of it will make sense or you will get any benefit.

cool, but do you reckon what i want to achieve is actually achievable? and would it take alot of knowledge and code to do it?
btw im sorry if this sounds like i just want to leech free code, but i dont know what else i can do

Yes.. I've done it quite a few times before - example with the conway 'game of life'.

It takes more than none, right? I mean I gave you a list of keywords to read up on... so while it doesn't use super complex concepts it does require being familiar with programming and the language you are using.

... pick up a book on vb.net and start learning?

As an example - with thirty minutes and no project I was able to crank out the game of life I was talking about.

See once you have a language and some understanding on programming concepts - a project or unfamiliar language becomes less of a hindrance and just an annoyance.
