I am having difficulty with a school assignment. We have to create a Tron game and I am having trouble with the part where if a player hits their or another player's trail, it is game over. The teacher told us that we should use intColour = CStr(PictureBox.Point(intX, intY)) and checking whether the intColour matches a trail colour. The problem is though that I am constantly hitting my own trail. The code I have written so far is down below. I added a file to make it easier. The file attached below is the work I have done so far.

My first guess would be that you are checking the trail colour AFTER you have moved, which means you will be peeking at your own colour. I'll have a quick look at the code you have provided when I get a moment to see if this is confirmed ...
 
Yep, that's pretty much what is happening. You need to do the check in [tt]tmrGamePlay_Timer[/tt] before you call [tt]picField.PSet (intUserX, intUserY), RGB(66, 135, 245)[/tt]
