Figure 1-2: The auto-generated code for the default form in a Windows Forms project
Figure 1-3: The Class View, showing all the functionality received for free because Form1 is a subclass of the class Form. I love free stuff, don’t you?

Figure 1-12: Determining which diagonal the die is rolling in by using simple geometry. Special thanks to my 10th-grade geometry teacher, Mr. Cosimi!.
Figure 1-13: This shows why the range for placement of the die is the width of the panel less the width of the die frame. Ditto for the height.
