engineering Homework :(

[zaczac]

Well we just started learning about this program and we have to make a program. The program is a game of hangman and you must pick a number between 1-20 and if you get it wrong the program will draw another part of the body, Example if i guessed the number 5 and it was wrong then the program would draw a head, if i guessed wrong again it would draw the body, and so on. Heres what i got so far...

var num, rnum : int

loop
rnum := Rand.Int (1, 20)
put "Please Pick A Number between 1 and 20. 100 is to Exit."

loop

get num

if rnum = num then
put "You guessed it!"
exit
else
put "Wring. Guess Again."
end if

end loop

end loop


Im completely lost on how to get the program to draw the body if anyone could help id appreciate it a lot thanks in advanced

You can use commands such as Draw.Oval() and Draw.Line() to draw graphics. Look up the documentation for their proper use.

Heres what i got now

var numb, guess, counter : int
numb := Rand.Int (1, 20)
counter := 7-1
drawoval (100, 250, 50 ,50, black)
drawline (70, 40, 100, 100, black)
drawline (100, 100, 130, 40, black)
drawline (100, 100, 100, 200, black)
drawline (70, 140, 100, 180, black)
drawline (130, 140, 100, 180, black)
loop
put "Guess a number from 1 to 20."
get guess
if guess = numb then
put "Guess is right"
else
put "Guess is wrong"
end if
end loop


Still dont get how i could take parts away from my stick man if someone guesses somthing wrong >.< i tried using a counter but that didnt work =_- thanks for any suggestions.

Use a counter to count how many times they got it wrong, and draw a part corresponding to that counter.

pseudo code:
[code]
if guess is wrong then
if counter = 1 then
draw head
elsif counter = 2 then
draw body
elsif....
end if

Erm... I think you want to add parts, not remove them...

A counter is a good approach. If the user makes his Xth wrong guess, then
draw the part Xth part.

put a variable in the program, called something like numberwrong, and put it so "
if numberwrong = 1 then drawhead end if
if numberwrong = 2 then drawbody end if

counter := 7-1

This is a problem. It says that your counter will always equal 6. You need to decrease it, and you need a loop. Replace 7 with 'counter'.

code:

counter := counter - 1

A nice programming thingummy that allows you to shorten this common piece of code:

code:

counter -= 1

I believe the term you are looking for here is syntactic sugar.

This is NOT a complete program, because i know that it will be deleted if it was, but i belive that it is what you wanted, no?
