My GUI box

[MrAndrews]

I made this program to be a procedure that i could stick into a trivia game. The user would read the question, and use the arrow keys to select their answer from the boxes instead of typing it in. Any suggestions about ways to improve would be great.

I like the look of the box, just a few things:

1) use Time.DelaySinceLast (i think it's that, been a while) to make the selection not so sensitive

2)shorten the height of the boxes by maybe just a few pixels (just seems a bit to high, just an opinion)

3) use Font.Draw instead of put and center the text in the boxes (more achievable in using the Font Functions (ex: Font.Width to figure it out))

But pretty cool start. Really nice actually, one of the better quiz interfaces I've seen.

Just a note, if you switch to the Font functions, it would be better to switch all together to set it to graphics mode.

Thanks for the tips

1) ill look into Time.DelaySinceLast.

2) i would need to add several lines for converting values from real to int, (because the length of each box is double the height and i could make it 2.3x or whatever) but maybe sometime when i am not as tired. (although the time on this post is almost 11:00, its actually midnight where i am )

3)How would i center using Font.Draw? i never actually learned much about that one.

again thanks for the input

to center Font.Draw you would use Font.Width to figure out the length of it.

just look it up! (I don't have turing on this comp to give an example)
