Creating a board for a board game

Development Programming & Scripting

Hello.

I am trying to create a board game but there are no usefull guides on the internet that i could find. I am trying to create a board like in chess where the pieces move space by space. And then i want to make certain spaces do certain things like when you step on it you lose a life or move 2 spaces back or something like that.

I would really appriciate some help.

Perhaps you can take it apart and adapt it to your needs.

Start by dividing your main goal into smaller goals, and keep doing it, until everything is a single simple task.

Otherwise, you will be overwhelmed and you’ll spent most of your time either in futile searches or waiting for help.
