Want to make Fully Functional Advanced Ludo Board Game in Microsoft Excel and play with friends and computers players?

You can do that very easily. I have developed Excel Ludo Board Game, for which I had to write 1900 plus lines of code in Excel VBA, ... that entire code is available in this book.

You need to create a Macro Enabled Workbook (.xlsm) file in Ms Excel. Then open the Visual Basic Editor by pressing Alt + F11 or by going to the Developer tab and clicking on Visual Basic button. Double click on any sheet in the project explorer of the Visual Basic Editor, which will open the code editor of that sheet. In that code editor, type or copy and paste the complete code provided in this book. And it's just done! Now you can close the Visual Basic Editor. Return to Excel, go to the same sheet and either press Alt + F8 or click the Macros button in the Developer tab. The Excel Ludo board game will be created quickly as you run the "CREATELUDO" macro.

The computer player will not leave a single chance to kill the pieces of other players. The computer player can also hit two to three pieces simultaneously. If the computer player's die numbers are 6+6+3 and one of its pieces has other players' pieces on its sixth, twelfth and fifteenth house, then the computer player will kill all the three pieces in one move. A computer player can use its various pieces to strike other players' pieces in a move. If in a move several pieces of other players are going to be killed by different pieces of the computer player, then the computer player will select those pieces and kill them which have reached closest to the destination.

CREATELUDO Macro is part of the code provided in this book. If Project Explorer is not displayed in Visual Basic Editor, select Project Explorer from the View menu on the main menu. If the Developer tab is hidden then click the Office Button, click Excel Options, select Popular, check the box labelled "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon", and then click OK.
