Hi i am pretty much a beginner with turing and programming in general and i am trying to make this game for my class. The problem is that i know how to make a question file and call it to the program, but i need to be able to make a bunch of categories with 5 questions each. 6 categories will be placed on the board randomly for each round. Does anybody have any idea of how i could do such a thing? Also i want to make it that after a question is asked its monitary value on the big board disappears, just like in real jeopardy. Im not sure if this is possible but id appreciate any help. thanks 

All i have is what my teacher sort of provided me with and it is as follows (i do not completely know what it means): 

var question, guess, answer: string 
var fileName : string 
var picID, picWidth, picHeight, streamIn, highScore, random : int 

randint (random, 1, 6) 
fileName := "questions" + intstr (random) + ".txt" 
open : streamIn, fileName, get 
assert streamIn > 0 



loop 
get : streamIn, question : * 
put question 
get : streamIn, answer 
put "Guess the right answer: " .. 
get guess 
if guess = answer then 
put "you are right" 
else 
put "you are wrong" 
end if 
exit when eof 
end loop

You should familiarize yourself with the basics at Turing Walkthrough
