alright , i have something like this

code:

get answer1
get answer2
get answer3
get answer4
get answer5
get asnwer6


but when you answer wiht more than one word, it will just skip them. or in other words, it only asigns one word to a variable. i wud like to be able to answer in sentences ! how do i do that ? Thank you !

get stringvar :*

is what you're looking for. it allows any number of characters up to max string length.

no, please read the documentation for get, it has useful examples.

Turing:

var code : string
get code : 2        % Next 2 characters are input into code.


Turing:

var query : string
get query : *   % Entire line is input into query
