How can I create a maze in PowerPoint using visual basic?

[Ahmed]

I want to create a maze by drawing it but thats not the pro. I want to move
the object by keyboard directions and i want to know how 2 do it.. thnx.

Ahmed,
If I understand correctly, you want to move an object in a maze by using the
cursor arrows.
You can use animation paths to move an object, you can find them in the
custom animation task pane, add effect, animation path, choose right, left,
up, down ... You can adjust the path by dragging the red marker at the end.
Or move the path by dragging it in the wanted direction. Of course this will
mean a lot of work, but it is feasable.

As Luc says you can set up a predetermined path through a maze with motion
paths BUT if you want to control the movement in real time then I think vba
is the only way. Even so keyboard control is tricky (to say the least) unless
you buy an add in (eg Shortcut manager)

There's an example in the vba section of our tutorials that uses an onscreen
control "joystick" that might help
