Building the Game of Kingdom - a map based clickable game (6 Parts video)

Please note this is not a complete game. It is a work in progress on which I do a little bit of work whenever I have some spare time, but it is a great planform of functions which you can use if you wish to build a game of your own in Excel.

Objective:
Building a game with a clickable map containing a 3 dimensional array of data (multiple layered Excel sheets)
Purpose of training:

The method used is only only useful for gaming.  It teaches core VBA concepts like:

  • building your own custom functions,
  • connecting them to buttons on your spreadsheet,
  • looking up large arrays of data in the most effective way,
  • generating random sets of data,
  • maintaining and accessing massive sets of data on  a modest pc,
  • etc.)
