VB.Net Naughts and Crosses Tic Tac Toe Game VB.Net Beginners Tutorial

Subscribe to our Channel to get regular Video Lessons in VB.Net Games Programming. Because we are a slow talker, we recommend you use the YouTube "Tools Cog" on the player bar to watch the video at a speed of 1.5x or even 1.75x. This Project uses Panels, Buttons, Picture Boxes, Animated GIFs and Labels to create a traditional Naughts and Crosses (Tic Tac Toe) Game. The Player Picture Boxes in the Game can then be easily swapped to make your own Custom "3 in a Row" Game, such as Passy Versus the Koala Bear, or Batman versus the Riddler. Images which are needed for the Projects in this Lesson, as well as information on where to obtain the Animated GIFs and place them into a VB.Net Project, can be obtained from the Lesson Downloads Pack at the Link Below: https://tinyurl.com/rfua8l7 The learning in this lesson will be useful for future course lessons and will also consolidate what we have learned in the VB.Net Games Course so far. If you are a beginner VB.Net Programmer, then it is extremely important that you have completed the previous "Top 5 Favourites" lesson, as well as the "Rolling Dice Random Numbers" lesson. This lesson will be useful to anyone beginning to learn VB.Net for the purpose of creating Games or Business Applications. Because we are a slow talker, we recommend you use the YouTube "Tools Cog" on the player bar to watch the video at a speed of 1.5x or even 1.75x.
