Heres my program for grade 11 programming (1st project)

[shadow47607]

my class is writing a hi-lo-game and we need to make it 2 players

if i could get some help i would greatly appreciate it

heres the code:

code:

%Terry Whitlow %October 19, 2006 process DoMusic     loop         Music.PlayFile ("M:/My Music/Mario.mp3")     end loop end DoMusic fork DoMusic for i : 1 .. 200     locate (20, 20)     drawoval (i, i, i, i, i)     delay (10)     put "WELCOME TO TERRY'S HIGH AND LOW GAME, ENJOY YOURSELF" end for delay (5) drawfillbox (0, 0, 640, 400, 175) put "LOADING...PLEASE WAIT FOR THE GAME TO LOAD" delay (1000) drawfillbox (0, 0, 640, 400, 0) var playAgain, difficulty, userName : string var numGuess, timeRunning, userGuess, randNum, n1, n2 : int put "What is your name?" get userName put "Welcome ", userName, "." loop     put "Please enter the difficulty you want, (e)asy, (m)edium, (h)ard, or (c)ustom."     get difficulty     if difficulty = "e" then         randint (randNum, 1, 10)         put "EASY DIFFICULTY--Please guess the number I am thinking between 1 and 10."     elsif difficulty = "m" then         randint (randNum, 1, 100)         put "MEDIUM DIFFICULTY--Please guess the number I am thinking between 1 and 100."     elsif difficulty = "h" then         randint (randNum, 1, 1000)         put "HARD DIFFICULTY--Please guess the number I am thinking between 1 and 1000."     elsif difficulty = "c" then         put "Type the number you want as the lowest"         get n1         put "Type the number you want as the highest"         get n2         randint (randNum, n1, n2)         put "CUSTOM DIFFICULTY--Please guess the number I am thinking between the 2 numbers you chose, which are ", n1, " and ", n2, "."     end if     numGuess := 0     loop         get userGuess         if userGuess = randNum then             put "Congratulations, ", userName, ", you have outsmarted me"             numGuess := numGuess + 1         elsif userGuess < randNum then             put "Too low, try again"             numGuess := numGuess + 1         elsif userGuess > randNum then             put "Too high, try again"             numGuess := numGuess + 1         end if         exit when userGuess = randNum     end loop     timeRunning := Time.Elapsed     put "This has taken you ", numGuess, " guess('s)"     put "This has taken you ", timeRunning / 1000, " seconds"     put "Thanks for playing"     put "Would you like to play again?(y)es , (n)o."     get playAgain     exit when playAgain = "n" end loop loop     drawfillbox (0, 0, 640, 400, 175)     put "THANK YOU FOR PLAYING, PLEASE PLAY AGAIN"     delay (2500) end loop

im a noob so i dont know how to help you, but the time in seconds it's giving me is wrong

[Ultrahex]

This is probably long gone now, but your use of the Time.Elapsed is wrong, you are checking the time from the start of running the program till when you check it.

Therefore its not reset on start of hitting easy, and its not reset on play again.

You will need a start time and end time and compare them to get how long.

What exactly is it that you need help with? Oh, and get rid of that "loading" thing because you're not loading anything and it's anoying.

i needed help making it 2 player and with getting the time to work properly

[bruized]

To make it two player, every time the first user has had his guess then ask the second user to guess. It's actually quite simple. If you're not sure what I mean than just ask. I'll leave the rest up to your imagination, unless you're still having troubles.

Now for the time part. The problem is that the time you have it took the user to guess the number is since the beginning when the user started running the program. To eliminate this, take the time.elapsed when the user starts guessing the number and then at the end. Then find the difference between the two numbers and presto!, you have the amount of time it took the user to guess the number.

And on a side note, to calculate the amount of seconds your formula is wrong. You divide by a thousand to get the amount of seconds. However in a second there is only a 100 milliseconds.

Make these changes and it will work. I already tried.

Wow, I knew the day got shorter last Sunday, but losing 900 milliseconds off of every second? That's impressive.

Seriously though, he's right bruized, there are 1000 milliseconds in a second.

[bruized]

What?! There's a thousand milliseconds in a second. Oops, sorry. I could've sworn it was one hundred. Anyways, sorry about that (people make mistakes you know , good thing this is a forum otherwise I would've been so embarrased).

An another side note, how come certain watches show milliseconds but they only have two number instead of three? I guess that's what made me think there was 100 ms in a s. that plus there's 100 mm in 1 cm except cm aren't the base unit so I see where I went wrong. I hope I didn't make any other mistakes

Let's clear some things up here. There are 10 mm in 1 cm, there are 100 cm in 1 m.

As for time, there are 1000 milliseconds in a second, 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day.

Make sense?

Yes, it does make sense, I knew that (except for the milliseconds part I kept getting it wrong) but anyways, I had a little typo in my last post. I'm not that stupid I meant to put 10 mm but accidentally added an extra zero. Just a big mix up. I know these things.

Ok, i thought I had a big aviator befor...

but helpyourselfhelpsomeoneel, your is retardedly huge....

Shring him asap, befor a dev sees it.
