Forcing re-sizing to be an odd multiple of 8

I have a couple of split panels nested inside of each other. The problem is, I'm rendering an 8x8 tiled game inside of the center panel. Basically, the height and width of the panel need to be an odd multiples of 8 so I can find the center tile displayed easily.

I'm using VB.net so all .net solutions are acceptable :)

EDIT sorry, that was confusing a bit...

I mean, I need the width and height to be divisible by 8. The number 8 is multiplied by should be odd:

EDIT AGAIN these numbers below do not refer to the size. They refer to two number being multiplied. I've changed them to a * to show this. These numbers below apply to both the height and width. One number should be odd, the other 8. 8*x

5*8 - Good

6*8 - Bad

Solution

  • You can check if something is odd by doing mod 2 to the number. So just do 

    if number mod 2 == 1:
