I like it! I didn't search for any errors, but I have a few tips: - Make it so that you don't lose a try by clickin on the same spot twice - Add a timer as well to make the game harder. I'd love to see your warm/cold code. +10 bits |

I would really like to post my code now, but I am going to wait until all the other programs are marked because everyone in my class was assigned the same project (Warmer/Colder game) and someone might copy my code and slap their name on it. Anyway I changed the program so that if you guess on the same space twice it doesn't make you lose a guess. I can't figure out how to make a timer. Any ideas? I also added a hint button (space) that highlights the area where the hidden dot is. Enjoy!!! 4/18/2006 Updated version. I can't get the highscores to work though. i have put background music, a win sound effect, made it so that you cannot get more that 3 hints. (you used to be able to have -4 hints and still keep using them) i have also added a menu, credits and a story to it. Please post some suggestions on how to make it more interesting/enjoyable. 4/20/2006 Another update. See below for details 4/24/2006 Another update. See below for details |

A timer can be created by manipulating the Time.Elapsed function. If you still need help with the timer PM me. |

Nice work, but how many lines of code is it? 600 KB seems awefully large, and theres no pictures included 
Also, if you have a bunch of guesses drawn around the dot, and you press space bar for a hint, it erases some of em. |

It's an executable. Turing (WinOOT) executables are always 650kb+ when not zipped. |

That's because it's a Turing .exe. Even a [put "Hello World"] program, when compiled, is about this large. Carey: If you zip or rar the file, you can get the file down to ~300kb. It's good for bandwidth. Also, you can just edit your first post and change the attached file there if you want to upload a new version. That's good for preventing you from exceeding your upload quota.  |

4/20/2006 Updated version. The highscoes work fine. I added a title on the bar at the top, difficulty level chooser, a quit option for when you are in the game, lowered the number of levels you have to beat before you win, put a different score counter in, put a limit on the length of the name (30) , made it so your name can now have spaces, made it so when you look at the high scores you see score, name, level, and difficulty. i also put a limit of 15 high scores on the highscore list, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND I spell checked it. 
i am working on a timer right now and should have it done within a week. The updated version is somewhere near the top of page 1 in this topic. As always if you have suggestions please post them. |

4/24/2006 Update Sorry about the story thing. it happend when i used wordperfect to spell check it. it converted a (c) into a copyright symbol and turing can't handle that so it just left a blank space there. Anyway, new features! i have made the win sound overlap the music instead of playing then having to start the music again. i have made the controls customizable (it automaticly saves and loads them from a .dat file so you don't have to change them every time you play). Also the game now has a timer, pause funtion, an option if you want to enter the highscores or not, and an explosion animation (basicly a for loop that increases the size of the orage dot to fill the screen). As always comments (and bits) appreciated. see top of first page for updated game |

All right sorry about the long delay for the source, but i completely forgot about it.  I didnt know wether to start a new topic or do a post in the old one, but anyway heres my 2005-2007 grade 10 FP. I will continue to update it because i looked over the coded and couldnt belive how messy it is, but that comes later. Controls and instructions included in the program. |

I read the instructions but i didnt really get the point of the game. How are you supposed to check where the bomb is? Anyway it was a good game i like the music and the title page! |

You check where the bomb is by pressing the guess key and that gives you a colour based on how close you are. also use the hint button to get a better idea of where the bomb is. |
