title: How to draw an explosion in VB.NET
body: <p>I am trying to draw an explosion. By draw, I mean using the <code>e.graphics</code> function as opposed to using a <code>Picturebox</code>(like I did last time).</p>
  
  <p>Now my question is, that how exactly would I go about doing this? In my mind, I'm thinking of using the <code>e.graphics.fillrectangle(x,y,w,h)</code> and well...alterating the location and the colour to create a composite image which resembles an explosion. However, the process seems a bit hit and miss, since I have to experiment to try and do this - is there a way to do this more effectively?</p>
