Turing:

exit when (playAgain = "Y" or playAgain = "y") or (playAgain = "N" or playAgain = "n")

why?

shouldn't it be

Turing:

exit when (playAgain = "N" or playAgain = "n")

Mod Edit: Remember to use syntax tags! Thanks

code:

[syntax="turing"]Code Here[/syntax]

i tried that but then i does not get the Y or y so that make it really difficult.

it will still get y or Y... it just won't use it. that exit when statement causes the game to end even if they say they want to play again.

as for the resetting of variables:

Turing:

var myString : string := "hello!" myString := "" %it no longer has a value! var myInt : int := 5 myInt := -1 %ints are a bit trickier. just set it to a value that will never happen unless you have reset it, or to its default value. var myReal : real := 5.5 myReal := -1 %same as an int. just set it to a value that should never happen OR to the default value you gave it the first time.

etc etc etc.

just set it to either the original value, or a value that will never happen unless you reset it.
