Powerpoint Games

[Teacher]

Is there any way to create a game board such as connect 4- a game that when
powerpoint is being viewed that you can actually move pieces around the board?
thank you

Look at the following link for a sample presentation that allows you to pick
and drop shapes when viewing the slide show:
http://officeone.mvps.org/vba/mousemove_shape.html

You can probably use it when developing your PowerPoint game.

Thank you all so much for your help.
To Chiraq: I reead your reply I am not so sure I got it because it is not
working. I am very new to this VBA part of PowerPoint. Can you please explain
it a bit more simply. Thank You

Download the sample ppt at
http://officeone.mvps.org/vba/mousemove_shape.html and start the slide show.
You can click the round shape to pick it up. Click it again to drop it at
that place on the slide. This ppt has VBA code that demonstrates how to do
pick-and-drop during slide shows. Let me know which part of VBA you need
more explanation with.
