Azkaban - no....HOSPITAL!

+Vivian Luu  brought up a good point! I've officially made my "jail" St. Mungo's rather than Azkaban. Cause, well, jail is kind of boring. 

Anyways, so now the picture for St. Mungo's is the inside of the hospital and the picture for "Go to St. Mungo's" is a picture of the arrogant fool...Gilderoy Lockhart...

More Ideas for Pawns

So I've been thinking...these are my favourite characters from the series: 


  • Hermione Granger
  • Harry Potter
  • Luna Lovegood
  • Ronald Weasley
  • Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
  • Sherlock Holmes
  • John Watson 
  • Merlin 
  • Arthur
  • Gaius 
  • Lucy
  • Edmund 
  • Beavers 
  • Bilbo Baggins
  • Gollum/Deagol
And now this is turning into a list, but what can I say?? I CAN'T PICK AND CHOOSE MY FAVOURITES :( 

I suppose I should limit to 1-2 characters per fandom so it's possible to fit at least one of each. But that's hard...

Hmm, anyways, I'm going to have to read about JLayeredPanes soon to find out how to make the pawn move from one box to another...

ALL THE TILES!...Almost done!





So here are the tiles so far! :D I'm just missing the colours on the background representing the properties. At least it's ... well not really done done but :D

Yes, I know, this blog is meant for Computer Science, but today marks the 15th Anniversary of The Wizarding War in Harry Potter. We lost Nymphadora Tonks, Remus Lupin, Fred Weasley, Sirius Black (we may not have lost him on the date, but we lost him for the cause), Albus Percival Wulfric Dumbledore, and many others. 

Most importantly, U No Poo is dead. 

RIP Tonks, Lupin, Fred, Sirius, Albus and all the others that died in the War.

Update on Gameboard

So...I've created a few of the pictures and things for the game board. Here's an example of one: 

So basically, all the pictures are going to look similar to this, but the fill will be different for each colour. Then I will has to find out how to make layered panes for one to show up on top of the other. But yeah, good start so far :)
