Need sum quick help

[bullets]

Ok first thing What grade are you guys in that are doing games in turing??

anyways moving along to what i need help with i need to make this quiz thing and i know theres an easier way to do it but i just cant sem to get it (this needs to be for 10 questions) heres what i wrote up for 2 questions quickly

var a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9, a0, total : int
var guess, guess1 , guess2 , guess3 : int := 0

locate (2, 25)
put "Quiz on Ironclads"
loop
guess := guess + 1
locate (4, 1)
put " Question 1: Is blah blah blah blah"
put " 1. "
put " 2. "
put " 3. "
put " 4. "
put "Please enter the correct number"
get a1
if a1 = 1 then
cls
locate (10, 23)
put "Correct, Now for the Next Question"
elsif a1 >= 2 then
put "Incorrect"
end if
if guess = 3 and a1 >= 2 then
put "NiCe TrY"
end if
exit when a1 = 1 or guess = 3
end loop
delay (1000)
cls

locate (2, 25)
put "Quiz on Ironclads"
loop
guess1 := guess1 + 1
locate (4, 1)
put " Question 2: Is blah blah blah blah"
put " 1. "
put " 2. "
put " 3. "
put " 4. "
put "Please enter the correct number"
get a2
if a2 = 2 then
cls
locate (10, 23)
put "Correct, Now for the Next Question"
elsif a2 >= 2 then
put "Incorrect"
end if
if guess1 = 3
then put "NiCe TrY"
end if
exit when a2 = 1 or guess1 = 3
end loop
delay (1000)
cls

also what would i type to make it so any key that is pressed that it would go back to the main page

another thing (haha sry ) is it possible to load up something, Like say on the menu the person selects the quiz so when that button is pressed i want Turing to load Quiz.t as the main screen

Array's are very useful. Use them for your program (like I did).

Now for your loading question. Yes it is very possible. All you have to do is save the 1. questions, 2. correct answers, and 3. possible answers. Worry about one thing at a time tho. You can look that stuff up in the Tutorials, and if you cannot find it, look for the sticky on Turing Walkthrough.

Anyways, take a look at this.

code:

%This is what the user puts in. var input : int %These are all 10 questions.  They are in an array. var question : array 1 .. 10 of string := init ("Question 1", "Question 2", "Question 3", "Question 4", "Question 5", "Question 6", "Question 7", "Question 8", "Question 9", "Question 10") %These are the answers to the corresponding questions. These are the right answers for each question. *Number* var answer : array 1 .. 10 of int := init (1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2) %This is the text for each question. %  *1 .. 10* is for all 10 questions %  *1 .. 4* is for the 4 options. var answers : array 1 .. 10, 1 .. 4 of string %This is just filling in the empty spots, not necessary for the program. % You will need to do everything individually for q : 1 .. 10     for a : 1 .. 4         answers (q, a) := intstr (Rand.Int (1, maxint)) %This just generates a random number for each answer     end for end for % You will have to do every possible answer individually.  Such as this. %Question 1: answers (1, 1) := "Jamonathin" answers (1, 2) := "Fart" answers (1, 3) := "Pizza" answers (1, 4) := "Cheeseburger" %Question 2: answers (2, 1) := "Cheeseburger" answers (2, 2) := "Jamonathin" answers (2, 3) := "Fart" answers (2, 4) := "Pizza" %Question 7: answers (7, 1) := "WRONG" answers (7, 2) := "WRONG" answers (7, 3) := "RIGHT ANSWER" answers (7, 4) := "WRONG" for i : 1 .. upper (question) %Max amount of questions     for q : 1 .. 3 % For 3 guesses.         cls         locate (2, 25)         put "Quiz on Ironclads"         put question (i)         put " 1. ", answers (i, 1)         put " 2. ", answers (i, 2)         put " 3. ", answers (i, 3)         put " 4. ", answers (i, 4)         delay (500)         put "Please enter the correct number"         get input         if input = answer (i) then             cls             locate (10, 23)             put "Correct! Now for the Next Question"             delay (1000)             exit %E xiting for loop         else             cls             locate (10, 23)             put "Incorrect"             delay (1000)         end if     end for end for

what does this do?? array 1 .. 10 of int := init nvr seen this used before

also this

"answers (q, a) := intstr (Rand.Int (1, maxint)) %This just generates a random number for each answer" dont understand the point of this


thanks for the help we didnt learn arrays n all that jazz in my class unfortunately[/b]

Well, if you've never seen it before, a good thing to do is look it up in the Turing Help file. Surprisingly, it's helpful!
Learning keywords such as init and round and Math.Distance (etc.) from the help file is fine, but learning concepts such as variables, arrays, classes, etc. is more difficult. That's why we've got tutorials. Check for the arrays tutorial (we've actually got two). There's a link to it in the Turing Walkthrough (at the top).
Cheers!

help file from turing?? doesnt work for us so i dont know any of the keywords and or what they do

[Cervantes]

Are you sure? Hitting F10 while in Turing does nothing? Clicking Help -> Turing Reference does nothing/it does not exist? What version of turing do you have?

In any case, init is used to initialize the elements of an array. If you have an array from 1 to 5 of integers, and you want to assign them values without doing each one individually, you can do it like this:

code:

var myArray : array 1 .. 5 of int := init (3, 9, -96, 32, 0)

Note that if you use init, you have to have as many parameters as there are elements of that array.

When i go to the help menu the first 3 options are grey and whn i hit f10 nothing happens using 4.0

Well then stick to the Tutorials, cuz they're pretty much, just as good, and in some cases beter.
