I just read the other post about the progress bar, but i am looking for something similar to that. I want a progress bar for one of my games that would display three different types. The first would be a mistake bar, which would go up everytime the user gets a question wrong. There is a three incorrect limit and was wondering how i could incorperate that into the loop. Therefore everytime someone gets an answer wrong, the bar would go up by 33.3 percent. Then it would cls the screen and exit. I was wondering how I could do this. The other two types the other post has cleared for me. Thanks for the help in advanced. |

Draw a box (rectangle) with Draw.FillBox It's length is definied by a variable. Your variable is influenced by how many questions you have wrong: 0 wrong = maximum size 1 wrong = (maximum size ) div 3, * 2 2 wrong = maximum size div 3 3 wrong = exit |

Umm... lengh div 3 *is* rounded. "div" is integer division - so you won't ever get decimals. 11 div 2 = 5 |

or you could go something like this. set a variable and make it go up by 1 every time they get something wrong Quote: var mistakes:int %find a way to increse it when they get something wrong. % set a for loop to make a portion of then bar every time they get something wrong for i:1..mistakes if i>=1 then drawfillbox (maxx div 3 * (i-1), maxy div 10-10, maxx div 3 *i, maxy div 10+10, red) end if end for this program (once you fit into a proper code) will make a bar on the bottom 1/10th of the screen. this way, if you ever implement a way to decrease the amount of mistakes they have (powerup) then it is simple, just decrease the variable mistakes and it will handle itself. |
