----------------------------------- mains50 Sat Jun 12, 2010 5:44 pm Multiple Problems in my game I cant solve ----------------------------------- What is it you are trying to achieve? I am trying to solve the problem in my game. The game is millionaire What is the problem you are having? music wont play, after person looses a game the next screen wont show. And i dont know how to write the If statement for the help options, for example when the persons clicks the call a friend option i want to write the if statement for that. Describe what you have tried to solve this problem every thing i could think of Please specify what version of Turing you are using 4.1 ----------------------------------- BigBear Sat Jun 12, 2010 5:48 pm RE:Multiple Problems in my game I cant solve ----------------------------------- You are already checking where the mouse is when the user clicks you just got to make sure if it is within the play text than play otherwise check if it is within the instructions text and display the instructions. ----------------------------------- mains50 Sat Jun 12, 2010 6:47 pm Re: RE:Multiple Problems in my game I cant solve ----------------------------------- You are already checking where the mouse is when the user clicks you just got to make sure if it is within the play text than play otherwise check if it is within the instructions text and display the instructions. how do u do that.. i am sorry but its just been 3 months since i am doing turing ----------------------------------- Tony Sat Jun 12, 2010 8:39 pm RE:Multiple Problems in my game I cant solve ----------------------------------- You know the location of the mouse (you check for it), and you know the location of the text (since you draw it). You compare the numbers that describe those locations. ----------------------------------- Cezna Sun Jun 13, 2010 9:21 am RE:Multiple Problems in my game I cant solve ----------------------------------- The title is spelt: "Welcome to Millaonaire" instead of: "Welcome to Millionaire" As for the problem of the lose screen not showing, it is due to this segment of the code: exit when correct = 11 or wrong = 1 if correct = 11 then %Drawing the winning screen fork cheer drawbox (5, 420, 700, 220, 1) Draw.Text ("YOU WON THE GAME", 150, 500, titleFont, blue) Draw.Text (" Here is your cheuqe", 0, 400, textFont, blue) Draw.Text (" Please Enter your name:", 0, 370, textFont, blue) Draw.Text (" The money you won is", correct, 370, textFont, blue) elsif wrong = 1 then Draw.Text ("wrong", 810, 400, questionFont, black) Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2, maxy div 2, 175, 175, yellow) Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2 - 75, maxy div 2 + 45, 50, 50, black) Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2 + 75, maxy div 2 + 45, 50, 50, black) Draw.Arc (maxx div 2, maxy div 2 - 145, 125, 100, 40, 140, black) Draw.Arc (maxx div 2, maxy div 2 - 145, 124, 99, 40, 140, black) Draw.Arc (maxx div 2, maxy div 2 - 145, 123, 98, 40, 140, black) Draw.Arc (maxx div 2, maxy div 2 - 145, 122, 97, 40, 140, black) Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2 - 75, maxy div 2 + 45, 30, 30, red) Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2 + 75, maxy div 2 + 45, 30, 30, red) Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2 - 75, maxy div 2 + 45, 19, 19, brightred) Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2 + 75, maxy div 2 + 45, 19, 19, brightred) end if end loop It is exiting if wrong = 1, which dosn't allow it to get to the elsif wrong = 1 (which, from the code, looks like it draws a frowning face or something. This section of code should be put in a seperate procedure which is called if wrong = 1, or the exit when wrong = 1 line should be removed. Also, if the music that you can't get to play is the Audience.wav, then it should probably be: Music.PlayFileLoop ("Audience.Wav") Instead of: Music.PlayFile ("Audience.Wav") Music.PlayFileLoop does exactly what you would assume from it's name, it will continue to play the file until you stop it with: Music.PlayFileStop You do not need to specify the filename with Music.PlayFileStop. If this is not the music you mean, then I think the problem may be your computer, since all of the music seemed to work fine for me. ----------------------------------- mains50 Sun Jun 13, 2010 1:40 pm Re: RE:Multiple Problems in my game I cant solve ----------------------------------- The title is spelt: "Welcome to Millaonaire" instead of: "Welcome to Millionaire" As for the problem of the lose screen not showing, it is due to this segment of the code: exit when correct = 11 or wrong = 1 if correct = 11 then %Drawing the winning screen fork cheer drawbox (5, 420, 700, 220, 1) Draw.Text ("YOU WON THE GAME", 150, 500, titleFont, blue) Draw.Text (" Here is your cheuqe", 0, 400, textFont, blue) Draw.Text (" Please Enter your name:", 0, 370, textFont, blue) Draw.Text (" The money you won is", correct, 370, textFont, blue) elsif wrong = 1 then Draw.Text ("wrong", 810, 400, questionFont, black) Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2, maxy div 2, 175, 175, yellow) Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2 - 75, maxy div 2 + 45, 50, 50, black) Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2 + 75, maxy div 2 + 45, 50, 50, black) Draw.Arc (maxx div 2, maxy div 2 - 145, 125, 100, 40, 140, black) Draw.Arc (maxx div 2, maxy div 2 - 145, 124, 99, 40, 140, black) Draw.Arc (maxx div 2, maxy div 2 - 145, 123, 98, 40, 140, black) Draw.Arc (maxx div 2, maxy div 2 - 145, 122, 97, 40, 140, black) Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2 - 75, maxy div 2 + 45, 30, 30, red) Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2 + 75, maxy div 2 + 45, 30, 30, red) Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2 - 75, maxy div 2 + 45, 19, 19, brightred) Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2 + 75, maxy div 2 + 45, 19, 19, brightred) end if end loop It is exiting if wrong = 1, which dosn't allow it to get to the elsif wrong = 1 (which, from the code, looks like it draws a frowning face or something.

Thanks that solved alot of problems, after i edit it there is another problem. When i get the question right it does not go to next question it just shows a white screen after. Also can you help me with the help optionlike is this the write code if somebody clicks the " Call a friend option" %if lifeLine = call a friend then cls %Draw.Text ("Friend i need help", 810, 400, questionFont, black) %end if ----------------------------------- Cezna Sun Jun 13, 2010 3:11 pm RE:Multiple Problems in my game I cant solve ----------------------------------- I will have to go through the code some more to figure out the best way to do the help options, so I will post back on that in a while. Also, if you want to post code, put this infront of the code in your post: and this after: except with square brackets (these ones [ ]), instead of triangle brackets (these ones < >). As for the problem with the right screen after getting the right answer, I can only guess that that if statement was doing something else, but you will have to post your updated code for me to be able to give any meaningful help. ----------------------------------- mains50 Sun Jun 13, 2010 3:59 pm Re: RE:Multiple Problems in my game I cant solve ----------------------------------- I will have to go through the code some more to figure out the best way to do the help options, so I will post back on that in a while.

Another thing you might try is clicking pause to see what the program is doing at any given time, and then you can just click resume to continue.
