----------------------------------- do_pete Wed Nov 02, 2005 9:27 am History Quiz ----------------------------------- Programmed by Peter Do (pronounced 'dough') and Danny Albrecht This is a project for my computers class. We were supposed to make a quiz that asks the user 10 questions and has four choices. There are lots of comments because we are graded on that. Feel free to screw around with it but give us some credit ----------------------------------- ZeroPaladn Wed Nov 02, 2005 10:08 am ----------------------------------- welcome to compsci there do_pete! it would be nice to post your code, since this is the source code forums :roll: instead of a .zip. ill dl it when i get home today then... ----------------------------------- do_pete Wed Nov 02, 2005 11:28 am ----------------------------------- the code is in the zip file. i had to put it in the zip file becuase there are sounds and other files that the program uses ----------------------------------- ZeroPaladn Wed Nov 02, 2005 3:20 pm ----------------------------------- that could explain it then, anyways hope you have a lot of sucessful posts here on compsci! ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Thu Nov 03, 2005 1:46 am ----------------------------------- Why not download the zip file at school? Nice program, good presentation. Now you should add a wider range of questions, so that they are not the same each time. Yeah, so it says I got 8/10, but really that's 9/10 since the D-Day invasion was called Operation Overlord, not Operation Neptune. The thing I got wrong was the chicken farmer :). Oh, and don't use "quit"'s to exit the program, there are many other better ways. ----------------------------------- codemage Thu Nov 03, 2005 9:03 am ----------------------------------- All of the secondary school boards I've worked at have blocked the downloading of executables and archives. I know. Board admins aren't hired for their intelligence. Thank goodness the IT people in the post-secondary world know a bit better what they're doing. ----------------------------------- ZeroPaladn Thu Nov 03, 2005 9:41 am ----------------------------------- i could dl the .zip here, but without winzip, its kinda useless dontcha think? lolz, out school tries to reinforce the rule of "downloading". too bad cause i dl stuff from this site all the time, and i dont get caught :P ----------------------------------- do_pete Thu Nov 03, 2005 11:08 am ----------------------------------- Oh, and don't use "quit"'s to exit the program, there are many other better ways. What else could i use? ----------------------------------- codemage Thu Nov 03, 2005 1:26 pm ----------------------------------- @ZeroPaladin : if you bring a copy of WinRar, it can install in your local space (if you have any, and if you have rights to do so). It doesn't need to edit the registry or anything that needs admin privs to run/install. ...and you'll never use WinZip again once you've tried it. ----------------------------------- ZeroPaladn Fri Nov 04, 2005 11:05 am ----------------------------------- my system admin prevents any use and installation of any .exe not verified by the school board. i cant even compile my turing projects here due to the fact that it boots me off for a week (i tried this last year :lol: ) man i hate this school... ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Fri Nov 04, 2005 4:13 pm ----------------------------------- do_pete, Window.Close (windowID : int), for one, or else just exit the main program loop, and have the executable set up to exit on completion. Wow, my school allows downloading of .zips (well, at least it's possible), and to extract it you just use Window's right click -> extract folder option. Executables, at least like this, are allowed (at least I think so :)), but installation is blocked. Still, you could install something on your comp, then zip it, and it would most likely work anywhere you copied it. ----------------------------------- iker Fri Nov 04, 2005 4:41 pm ----------------------------------- had the same quiz in my class last year. Made an Iron Maiden quiz, fairly easy to do, but everyone thought it was amazing because I used the mouse, showed a picture of eddy on the selection screen, and a way to chose any question you like, but only being able to do it once... anyways great quiz ----------------------------------- MysticVegeta Fri Nov 04, 2005 6:53 pm ----------------------------------- hmm looking at the answers is quite easy, just change the trivia.dll to trivia.txt :D Use a crytology :twisted: ----------------------------------- Albrecd Tue Nov 08, 2005 3:00 pm ----------------------------------- hmm looking at the answers is quite easy, just change the trivia.dll to trivia.txt Use a crytology If it's that important to get 10 of 10...
