I'm new, and here's my first program!

[WiiDS]

Hi, I've just registered as WiiDS, and I'm here to submit some Turing applications. I may not be here for long, but I hope you all will enjoy my applications. My first application is geared to kids, but it's still enjoyable for us people as well as adults. Enjoy!

If its geared for children, perhaps change the way they type in answers.

1) it asks your name, i type "george milton" (persay, for first and last) the game crash's.
2) your program expects integers. Put a string it crash's. Allow it to handle type-o's and reask the question.
3) Serval problems with your code to which you can improve on.

Not bad for a first program, keep working at it.

ok, first of all u got all that if no or if naw and stuff instead of all that random and kinda useless lines. just put getch. then u can get character and say when you are ready press any key to continue or whatever.

Hey, you know that I just started Turing in September. I just learned about Getches recently. To be honest with you, I only make Turing programs at school, since I don't have it at home. I'm not the best programmer in the world, but thanks for your good comments! My next program is geared to pregnant mothers at their baby showers. It was technically made before my timetables program, but it's less likely to crash since the user can only inputs strings. I'll send out stand-alone programs of my first and second programs once they're perfected, and I'll send it to the audience that I'm aiming for, for that specific program. (And to you guys too if you want) Thanks again guys!

Oh, and by the way, the program asked for you FIRST name, not your full name.

Well the desired action is to disregard the input, and request it again, not crash at the first sight of abnormality.

Oh, and if you are going to share your programs, I would strongly encourage to upload the source code - this way we can comment and make suggestions on your coding style and practices, as oppose to just the interface design

Uhhhh.... source code? What's that?

[Tony]

funny.

1 - you don't need to quote my entire post if you reply right after. If you want, take just the sniplet you are replying to.

2 - I know you saw the comment I left you about your avatar size. While it was an improvement, 300 pixels wide is still twice as big as tollerated 150. Anything over is looked down upon for messing with the layout.

Here's the source code:

Judging from your code, you would do well to read the style guidelines.

[CodeMonkey2000]

lol, WiiDS, how long did it take u to program that? sooo many ifs doing the same thing...

[ericfourfour]

code:

exit when game = "n" exit when game = "N" exit when game = "nah" exit when game = "Nah" exit when game = "no" exit when game = "No" exit when game = "naw" exit when game = "Naw" exit when game = "not" exit when game = "Not" exit when game = "negative" exit when game = "Negative" exit when game = "stop" exit when game = "Stop"

Well, you could cut this in half by looking into Str.Lower and Str.Upper which convert a string's case.

[wtd]

And by using "or". This is covered in the style guidelines.

[md]

or... exit when str.Lower(game[1]) == "N" || "S" (psudo code like...)

Remember, I don't know everything about turing. I'm a n00b. (I can't belive I just said that.)
