hi. it's my first time to develop using ASP.net (actually to develop using Microsoft's programming languages), so i'm pretty unfamiliar with everything..
im supposed to be developing a graphical "map" of sorts, but the pathways of the said map is determined by retrieving the database. This map is supposed to be displayed in a web page.
details of the map include "characters" and "actions".. here is a text format of the map...
Activity 1: Activity 2:
------------------------- --------------------------
|Player A - retrieve heart| |Player A - get key |
|Player B - heal Player A | -------> |Player B - protect castle| ----> .....
------------------------- -------------------------
i already have icons for the characters, and the actions are to be placed in boxes... but how am i to code this in such a way that the program determines the spacing, the length of the arrows, etc?
though i have completely no idea about asp.net, i have an idea on the problems that im to encounter:
1) where do i "put" the whole drawing (in a "pane" of sorts)? i can only allow a vertical scroll bar for such an area, which leads to question number 2...
2) how the heck do i start this??
all kinds of help would be greatly appreciated, but i'd prefer to be treated as a newbie, syntax-wise. i hope you get me. thanks
