LEVELS FOR A GAME!

[benQ]

Hey. I'm trying to make three levels for my blocksies game. I need to make a BABY, INTERMEDIATE, and ADVANCED levels. So here's my code so far. I'm just wondering after I get the input of the level from the user, how do i make it so that each choice takes you to a different program? Would i copy and paste the program 3 time for each if and elsif? Any help is appreciated.

code:

put "Welcome to Blocksies! Use the <ARROW> keys to move the" put "blocker." put "Make sure the asterisk doesn't get past your blocker!" var Choice : int put "Please choose the level you wish to play." put "1. BABY" put "2. INTERMEDIATE" put "3. ADVAMCED" get Choice if Choice=1 then     put "BABY" elsif Choice=2 then     put "INTERMEDIATE" elsif Choice=3 then     put "ADVANCED" end if cls % This is a program that lets you use the arrow keys to control the blocker.% % The object is to block ten asterisks.% const BLOCKER :=     chr(220)+chr(220)+chr(220)+chr(220)+chr(220) const WAIT := 125 const NUMBER_OF_ASTERISKS := 10 const LEFT_ARROW := chr(203) const RIGHT_ARROW := chr(205) const UP_ARROW := chr(200) const DOWN_ARROW := chr(208) const BLOCKER_ROW := 24 const BLANK_BLOCKER := "     " var Key : string (1) var Asterisk_Column, Start, Finish : int var Blocker_Column := 38 var Asterisk_Row := 2 setscreen ("noecho,nocursor") procedure Move_Blocker     %We wait for the user to press a key.%     getch (Key)     %We erase a previously positioned blocker.%     locate (BLOCKER_ROW, Blocker_Column)     put BLANK_BLOCKER     %We adjust the position of the blocker%     %according to the direction specified%     %by the user.%     if Key = RIGHT_ARROW then         Blocker_Column := Blocker_Column + 2     elsif Key = LEFT_ARROW then         Blocker_Column := Blocker_Column - 2     elsif Key = UP_ARROW then         Blocker_Column := 2     elsif Key = DOWN_ARROW then         Blocker_Column := 75     end if     %We do not allow the blocker to be moved%     %Beyond the borders of the screen%     if Blocker_Column > 75 then         Blocker_Column := 75     elsif Blocker_Column < 2 then         Blocker_Column := 2     end if     %The blocker is displayed on the screen.%     locate (BLOCKER_ROW, Blocker_Column)     put BLOCKER end Move_Blocker locate (BLOCKER_ROW, Blocker_Column) put BLOCKER randomize clock (Start) for Asterisk : 1 .. NUMBER_OF_ASTERISKS     locate (1, 1)     put "Asterisk #", Asterisk     randint (Asterisk_Column,2,79)     loop         locate (Asterisk_Row, Asterisk_Column)         put "*"         delay (100)         if hasch then             Move_Blocker         end if         locate (Asterisk_Row, Asterisk_Column)         put " "         Asterisk_Row := Asterisk_Row + 1         if Asterisk_Row > 24 then             Asterisk_Row := 2         end if         if Asterisk_Column >= Blocker_Column and                 Asterisk_Column <= Blocker_Column + 4 and                 Asterisk_Row = 24 then             sound (100, 100)             exit         elsif Asterisk_Row=24 and             (Asterisk_Column<Blocker_Column or             Asterisk_Column>Blocker_Column+4) then             sound (100,100)         end if     end loop end for % After this for loop, the clock stops and the time is displayed.% clock (Finish) cls put "Time: ", (Finish - Start) / 1000, " Seconds."

THANKS!

All you need to do is define what destinguishes each level. For example, if during the 'Baby' stage, the object you're trying to click on (for example...I'm not positive what you're game does ) moves very slowly. In the 'Advanced' stage, the same object moves faster.
You could also change its size depending on the level.

To do this, you just need to define some vars at the beginning that will be changed depending on the User's selection of level...

e.g.

code:

var speed : int var input : string var x, y : int := 100 put "Slow (1) or fast (2)?" get input if input = "1" then speed := 15 elsif input = "2" then speed := 10 else speed := 0 end if for i : 1..100 drawfilloval (x, y, 10, 10, 7) x += 2 delay (speed) end for

There you have it, a single proggie that runs differently depening on the input (level) chosen.
