hey i'm having trouble with my home project it's Who Wants to be a millionaire. I'm wondering about how i would add in the exit effect. here's all i've done so far. var name:string var ans:string put "Welcome to Who Wants to be a Millionaire!" put "I'm Regis Philbin and what's your name?" get name put "Welcome to Who Wants to be a Millionaire, ".. put name put "How are you?" get ans put "That's great!" put "Start the round?(y/n)" get ans if ans = 'y' or ans = 'Y' then put "LET'S PLAY WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE!!" end if put "All answers must be the letters they correspond with." put "Are you ready ".. put name put "(y/n)" get ans if ans = "y" or ans = "Y" then cls end if put "For $100, who is known as the 'Great One' of hockey?" put "A: Gordie Howe" put "B: Mark Messier" put "C: Doug Gilmour" put "D: Wayne Gretzky" get ans if ans = "d" or ans = "D" then put "You're the 'Great One' of this game it seems!" put "(crowd laughs)" elsif ans = 'a' or ans = 'A' then put "Sorry 'Mr. Hockey', that's the wrong answer. I see you probably sit at home on your couch watching cooking shows..." elsif ans = 'b' or ans = 'B' then put "Sorry 'Moose', that's the wrong answer. I'm sure your buddies in the forest could have helped you..." elsif ans = 'c' or ans = 'C' then put "Although Doug Gilmour is one of the greatest players EVER, he's not known as the 'Great One' although he should damn well be..." end if put "Continue?(y/n)" get ans if ans = "y" or ans = "Y" then cls end if put "For $200, the term microprocessor is used mostly with what component?" put "A: TV" put "B: Toliet" put "C: Baseball Cards" put "D: Computers" get ans if ans = 'd' or ans = 'D' then put "Easy question" elsif ans = 'a' or ans = 'A' then put "So close yet so far..." elsif ans = 'b' or ans = 'B' then put "You must be really old and stupid!!!" put "You probably were still alive when people shat everywhere!!!" elsif ans = 'c' or ans = 'C' then put "(Regis gets up and leaves)" put "(Regis yells in the back)" put "Where the hell do you find these idiots from!?!??!" end if put "Continue?(y/n)" get ans if ans = 'y' or ans = 'Y' then cls end if put "For $500, what is the word in this line:" put "_____, I am your father" put "A: Dawg" put "B: Mother" put "C: Luke" put "D: Luck" get ans if ans = 'c' or ans = 'C' then put "CORRECT FOR $500!!!" elsif ans = 'a' or ans = 'A' then put "Listen 'dawg', I'm sure you and your 7 - 8 siblings, oh sorry, HOMIES all are called dawg by your father but that's off the hizzle fo shizzle!" elsif ans = 'b' or ans = 'B' then put "..." put "(Regis gets up and leaves)" put "(Regis yells from the back)" put "ANOTHER STUPID KID!!! Where do you get these fools from!!!" elsif ans = 'd' or ans = 'D' then put "WOW!!! You came so close. Maybe what you should do is buy a hearing aid with the money you win." end if put "Continue?(y/n)" get ans if ans = 'y' or ans = 'Y' then cls end if put "For $1000, who are the biggest rivals in professional Men's Tennis?" put "A: Tim Henman & Carlos Moya" put "B: Tim Henman & Jarri Kurri" put "C: Andre Agassi & Pete Sampras" put "D: Serena & Venus Williams" get ans if ans = 'c' or ans = 'C' then put "You like watching men in short shorts don't you?" put "(Crowd laughs)" elsif ans = 'a' or ans = 'A' then put "Two of the greatest players although they aren't rivals..." elsif ans = 'b' or ans = 'B' then put "That's only be right if tennis was played on ICE!!" elsif ans = 'd' or ans = 'D' then put "Well, if this was women's tennis..." end if put "Continue?(y/n)" get ans if ans = 'y' or ans = 'Y' then cls end if put "For $2000, who was credited for the invention of computers?" put "A: Sir Charles Baggage" put "B: Sir Charles Babbage" put "C: Lady Lovelace" put "D: Bill Gates" get ans if ans = 'b' or ans = 'B' then put "You should be the inventor of 'Genuis'!!" elsif ans = 'a' or ans = 'A' then put "If anything was invented it was the confusing of ".. put name elsif ans = 'c' or ans = 'C' then put "Lady Lovelace was the inventor of the first computer language. Her name was also Ada. If I was to add your score based on this question you'd have ZEROOOOOO!" put "(crowd laughs)" elsif ans = 'd' or ans = 'D' then put "If anything, Bill Gates probably bought Microsoft from a hobo..." put "(crow goes histerical)" end if put "Continue?(y/n)" get ans if ans = 'y' or ans = 'Y' then cls end if put "For $5000, in the movie 'The Fast and the Furious' the term NOS stands for what?" put "A: Nitrous Oxide System" put "B: National Orthodonto Society" put "C: Nitrous Oxide" put "D: Nitro Oxigen System" get ans if ans = 'a' or ans = 'A' then put "What is it with you and sitting on your ass watching movies?" put "(crowd laughs)" elsif ans = 'b' or ans = 'B' then put "I'm assuming that you were never really schooled, ".. put name elsif ans = 'c' or ans = 'C' then put "..." put "(Regis gives "..put name ," a book)" put "Here that's a spelling book my 7-year-old daughter uses. Go learn to read." elsif ans = 'd' or ans = 'D' then put "What were you doing during the movie?" get ans put "Yeah sure... I'm sure you were trying something or another..." end if put "Continue?(y/n)" get ans if ans = 'y' or ans = 'Y' then cls end if put "For $10,000, which artist wrote the song 'When Doves Cry'?" put "A: Prince" put "B: Michael Jackson" put "C: Celine Dion" put "D: Sheryl Crow" get ans if ans = 'a' or ans = 'A' then put "You should be the 'Answerer-Formerly-Known-as-Prince'" elsif ans = 'b' or ans = 'B' then put "Maybe you'd like us to send some kids up to room later?" elsif ans = 'c' or ans = 'C' then put "If anything is going on with your stupidity then it's the next contestant!" elsif ans = 'd' or ans = 'D' then put "Run Boy Run, cause that answer ain't right!!" end if put "Continue?(y/n)" get ans if ans = 'y' or ans = 'Y' then cls end if ____________________________________________________________ i need to know how to add in the exit effect and if anyone knows how to make it so that the program will add how much money the person won at the end. |

I'm new the site, and just taking Turing this year, however I do some assembly, and machine code - so I'll take a stab at this. For the Exit Part create a loop at the very start, and put exit when and end loop conditions after each wrong answer. For example if ans="a" then put "What a moron, correct answer is b" exit when ans=a end loop -------------- For the money part, simply create a variable at the top called money, and for each right answer after the if statement include something like this if ans="a" then put "Corect" money:=money+1000* *Note, here you would put how much that question is worth -------------- Hope some of this could be of help! |

try hittin f2 in turing, and maybe put a space or 2 inbetween your if statements and your questions...t just makes it a bit easier to read and follow |

and maybe put each of your questions inside a function, and then call them question1, question2, question3 etc if you dont know how to do a function here it is
then in your code, where all those if statements were, just use this

yea have the whole thing in a loop, and have an exit statement if the answer is not rite. suggestion: you should use arrays and records. to learn records read my tutorial, to learn arrays read my tutorial. both in the tutorial section. you should have the question, the choices, and the correct answers in the record, then you can just run the whole thing in a loop. much much easier. |
