Star Wars RISK

[Tallguy]

Hey guys hows it going? Haven't been programming for a while and I thought of doing Star Wars RISK. Great fun for everyone and its Star Wars, whats better then that? lol

So my problem may seem trivial, but remember I haven't done this in a while. So far I have my start up screen were you enter your names and chose your fraction, the thing is; it takes several clicks to choose and you can both choose the same fraction, which isn't suppose to happen.

So any help is welcome, comments too.

An easy way to keep each player from choosing the same faction is to give each faction a boolean variable, initially have them all set to false, then as someone picks them make the variable true, and don't let someone else pick the faction if its boolean value is true. Basically eliminating the faction as a future possibility.

ummm, i understand what you mean, just unsure where to place it . . .

code:

loop     Mouse.Where (x, y, button)     if x >= 50 and x <= 230 and y >= 230 and y <= 410 then %smugglar         Font.Draw ("'Corrupt Side', composed of smuggulers and other veil groups who are the pain of the legal system", 15, 420, f5, 0)         delay (200)     end if     if x >= 300 and x <= 480 and y >= 230 and y <= 410 then %imperal         Font.Draw ("'Dark Side', the Imperial forces, backed by users of the dark side of the force", 90, 420, f5, 0)         delay (200)     end if     if x >= 550 and x <= 730 and y >= 230 and y <= 410 then %alliance         Font.Draw ("'Light Side', the Rebel Alliance and those who wish to overthrow the mantle of the Imperial yoke. ", 15, 420, f5, 0)         delay (200)     end if     drawfillbox (0, 416, maxx, 450, 255)     if x >= 50 and x <= 230 and y >= 230 and y <= 410 and button = 1 then   %smugglar         drawfillbox (90, 450, maxx, 550, 255)         Font.Draw (player1, 50, 500, f2, brightred)         Font.Draw ("has joined the corrupt side.", 20 * length (player1) + 60, 500, f2, white)         count := count + 1         exit     end if     if x >= 300 and x <= 480 and y >= 230 and y <= 410 and button = 1 then %imperal         drawfillbox (90, 450, maxx, 550, 255)         Font.Draw (player1, 50, 500, f2, brightred)         Font.Draw ("has joined the dark side.", 20 * length (player1) + 60, 500, f2, white)         count := count + 1         exit     end if     if x >= 550 and x <= 730 and y >= 230 and y <= 410 and button = 1 then %alliance         drawfillbox (90, 450, maxx, 550, 255)         Font.Draw (player1, 50, 500, f2, brightred)         Font.Draw ("has joined the light side.", 20 * length (player1) + 60, 500, f2, white)         count := count + 1         exit     end if end loop

In there would be the best spot. Where your if statements are, have an " and chosen = false" statement. Only place i could think of.
