Memory Game

[Cabose]

I'm helping my friend make a memory game and neither one of us can figure out how to do this example.
show one picture and it is a star
show another and it is a tree
get rid of the picture
or
show one picture and it is a star
show another picture and it is a star
keep both pictures visible

Please help we need to figure this out asap

Thanks,
Cabose

Clicking problem

hi i am making a memory game but i am having problems on determining which 2 picture boxes i just clicked. ex
click pic1 and pic2 how do i make my timer determine which 2 pictureboxes i clicked of the 24 pictureboxes i have. so i can do a pic1.Image = Nothing on them if their tags do not match.

for example
pic1 has a tag of santa
and pic 2 has a tag of star
and when i click on the second one if the tags are not equal i want a timer to set them back to nothing after 3 seconds.

I hope it was clear enough please help asap i have to have this finished by tomarrow and that is the only thing keeping me from finishing it.

Thanks,
Cabose

Don't know if you have figured this out yet but this is what I came up with. Did not look at your code cause on work computer but here is what I came up with. Create 4 pictureboxes, 1 button, and 1 timer on the form. This will flip cards over when you click on them. If they match then they stay flipped. If they don't it will wait a couple of seconds then flip then back over. The pictures are always going to be in the same spot so once you play the game once you will know where everything is. Keep in mind that this is just to get you started and there are many things you can do to make it more dynamic.

Make a single click event handler for all pictureboxes, (see here about this http://www.vbdotnetforums.com/showthread.php?t=15546).

I would create a "pair" class and use a queue object to store instances of this. Every first click a new pair was created, and every second click this instance added to Queue with a time stamp (but only if not a valid pair). In timer event I would check the pair instance time stamp and reset picturebox pairs that were due for resetting, for example 3 seconds.
