Hello

I am making Who wants to be a millionaire in Turing, this is what I have so far

process DoMusic
loop
Music.PlayFile ("%oot/support/help/Examples/Data Files/Beginning Sound.wav")
end loop
end DoMusic

fork DoMusic

% The "Pic.FileNew" program.
var picID : int
var x, y : int

picID := Pic.FileNew ("%oot/Support/Help/Examples/Data Files/MillionaireLogo.jpg")

x := (0) % Random x
y := (0) % Random y
Pic.Draw (picID, x, y, picCopy)

put "Hit any key to start the game..."

Input.Pause
cls



not much but I need to start making the questions. For each Question I have an audio track that goes with, the problem is I want to defiine them in my domusic procedure if thats possible, but I have no idea how to

any help is MUCH APPRECIATED

thanks

How were you going to define your questions (the actual question/answer), and how is that different enough from using audio tracks?

for "procedure lights", please use a for-loop, you have too much repeating code.

lightA/B/C/D are also identical, less the use of a particular value. Collapse all procedures into one that takes an argument.

code:

font2 := Font.New ("Comicsans:20:bold,italic")
font3 := Font.New ("Comicsans:20:bold,italic")
font4 := Font.New ("Comicsans:20:bold,italic")
...

Why are those different fonts? Also..

Posted Image, might have been reduced in size. Click Image to view fullscreen.

As for your intro song -- point to the line of code where you start to play it, and also to the line of code where you stop it. Tell me how much time passes in between.

oh man thanks for the heads up on the loop "lights" procedure it completely passed through my mind and the intro music should play right at where is says %play intro and should stop right before question 1. The file is about 10 sec long

thanks for all the help btw

No, not "should", when does it actually start/stop?

Maybe if you were to replace your use of processes with Music.PlayFileReturn, it would become easier to see what you are doing.
