This is my hangman program so far. I'm trying to be a little creative instead of hanging a man its kind of like a race. But I don't know how to match the userinput with the actual word. If you try to run the program you will see that the userinput doesn't do anything. Can someone please help me? I need to match the userinput with the actual word and if its wrong tell them its wrong. I've been looking at other peoples programs, and they are using arrays and stuff, but I'm not quite sure what to do? Thanks in advance Mr. Green

Lol, im sorry, but the coding's just kindof pissing me off. I'll show you mine, see what you can do with it.

loop
put "Insert a word/sentance... (no caps or punctuation) "

for i : 1 .. length (word)

if index (word (i), space) = 0 then

It's probs confusing, so ask if you have questions with it. Btw, i didn't use arrays for my words, i used a choose your on word kind of thing.

1) This post should be in the Turing Help Forums.
2) If you can't assist people then don't. We should teach people so they learn, and giving them crappy code doesn't teach them much.

3) You need to have your word obviously, and when a user enters in a guess, You should check threw that word for such a letter. If there is something found you display this letter, otherwise you add on a "X" or part of the dude, whichever one prefers.

I would suggest creating a function(recommended), or even a procedure if its easier, that can take in a letter and check it vs the word, and results will do the necessary step.

This will help with repetitiveness...


Last thing i wanted to share.. Use Tags with your codes,
code:

[ c o d e ]   -> Without Spaces
CODE GOES HERE
[ / c o d e ] -> Without spaces

Turing:

%% [ s y n t a x = " T u r i n g " ]   -> Without Spaces.
var Turing_Code_Goes_Here_And_Gets_Colors
%% [ / s y n t a x ]  -> Without Spaces

I am just wondering. How are you planning to move your cars? You don't have any code that checks to see the letters are right/words are right in order to move the cars? I would suggest using a image you made in Illustrator/Photshop/Paint, whatever and importing that to the screen. Raknarg's program works pretty well (although formatting could be better) so use that as a guideline. And for goodness sake, please comment/document your codes. It's pretty hard understanding what you are trying to make your program do.

A word appears at the bottom of the different lines at the top of the screen. Are you supposed to enter that exact word in?

To answer your question. Check if the inputted letters are the same in the inputted word. So if hello was inputted and then an h, then your car should move. If the letter is wrong, then the car doesn't move. You can check by storing each character (each letter) as an array. If each letter is correct then...move the car, else don't move the car.
