Grid Creation

The game board is created using the Turtle graphics library. The grid consists of 5x5 tiles, and the GridDirections function is used to draw the grid lines.

Tile Numbering

The TileNumber function labels each tile with a corresponding number, making it easier for players to track their progress.

Snakes and Ladders

Snakes and ladders are placed on specific tiles using the RunDrawObject function. Each snake or ladder is represented by an image drawn on the Turtle canvas.

Dice Display

The Dice2 function initializes the position and shape of the dice, registering different images for each dice roll. The MoveSize function generates a random dice roll between 1 and 6.

Images of the bull and cow are registered and assigned to player characters using the bull and cow functions. These characters are displayed on the Turtle canvas.

Winning Screen

The WinningScreen function displays a winning screen when one of the players reaches the last tile.
