Hi all I have a game show project to do for my computer engineering class. Ive decided to recreate jeopardy in turing. I've made a parallel port cable with 4 inputs which are connected to 4 switches, and 4 outputs which are connected to 4 LED's. Its a 4 player game. A question will pop up and there will be 4 "buzzers" (switches) and the person who hits the switch first gets to answer the question, the thing is I have no clue to what command that is or even if it exists. Any help is much appreciated thanks |

I never took computer engineering, so I don't know for sure, but I would assume that you would have everything in a loop, and in that loop, you will check if each button is pressed with if statements. Which ever if statement is true first would be the first person to hit the switch. e.g.
Again, I'm not sure if this will work and how it's inputted into Turing (and how to handle the input), but I would assume that's the general logic of it. |

Andrew has the heart of the matter, and for input you would use ParallelGet() - look in the Turing help. You may also have to learn how to bit-shift and bit-mask to pull out the relevant data from that returned by the parallel port. |
