Moving Pieces for a Board Game?
Nov 13, 2019
I used the template on this board game from someone else and added in a die roll. However, I do not know how to add in a moving piece- I want the user to be able to move their board piece around the board based on the die roll outcome - any ideas on how to do this? I am guessing a drag and drop of some kind but I am not sure how to incorporate movement because they could roll a 1 multiple times or a 4 etc (thus not landing on the same piece every time)... You can view this game here, or download it below. Please note the question cards are not built out yet.

Hi Naomi,
What you need to do is to set up a series of motion paths to move your piece around the board.
The link below will take you to an excellent example of the Snakes and Ladders board game by Russell Killips. If you scroll down through the follow-up posts, you will find two more from Russell, which include version 2 of the game and a pdf document on how it all works. If you have a good look at these two files, you should learn everything you need to get your game going.

I don't have anything to add to what Ned says above.
I did want to jump in and say what a great looking game this is. Nice job!!
Thank you! This is exactly what I ended up doing - the end project looks totally different but I still needed to figure out the movement of the pieces- this was very helpful thanks!
Thanks! Feel free to use it if you want for any projects :)
Naomi- I'm trying exactly that- can you share the final storyline? Thanks
