two questions

[4sak3nX]

HEy all i got two questions for you all involving how to do something

first off i have a program that is a 5 question quiz. I want to add a couple of sound clips depending on how the user did. this leads me to the second point. How do i track how many questions the user got right and how many they didnt?

here is the program...

Turing:

var a1 : string var a2 : string var a3 : string var a4 : int var a5 : string var a6 : string setscreen ("graphics") colourback (black) loop     put "Welcome to THE QUIZ!"     colour (yellow)     put " Question 1. Who is the greatest person ever? " ..     get a1     if a1 = "Barney" then         colour (green)         put " "         put "That is correct! Barney is the greatest person ever!"     else         colour (red)         put " "         put "Im sorry, Barney is the correct answer not ", a1     end if     colour (yellow)     put " "     put " Question 2. What is the name of the best band ever? " ..     get a2     if a2 = "GunsNRoses" then         colour (green)         put " "         put "That is correct! Guns N Roses is the greatest band ever!"     else         colour (red)         put " "         put "Im Sorry, GunsNRoses is the correct answer, not ", a2     end if     colour (yellow)     put " "     put " Question 3. What Operating system do you use? " ..     get a3     if a3 = "vista" then         colour (green)         put " "         put "Thats right! You use Vista! Join the club!"     else         colour (red)         put " "         put "No you use vista silly! Not ", a3     end if     colour (yellow)     put " "     put " Question 4. How old are you? You cant get this wrong! " ..     get a4     if a4 <= 16 then         colour (green)         put " "         put "You are in the 15 and under age group!"     else         colour (green)         put "You are in the 17 and older age group!"     end if     colour (yellow)     put " "     put " Question 5. The greatest man alive made this quiz. Who is he? " ..     get a5     if a5 = "Curtis" then         colour (green)         put " "         put "Thats correct! Curtis Gaunt is the greatest man alive!"     else         colour (red)         put " "         put "No, no, no! Curtis is the greatest man alive, not ", a5     end if     colour (blue)     put "Thanks for playing! Would you like to play again? " ..     get a6     exit when a6 = "no" end loop

all help appreciated!

have 2 totals

var t1 ,t2,tt : int := 0

then when the user gets something wrong

t2 := t2 +1

and when the user gets something right

t1 := t1 + 1

to see how the user did you can do

tt := t1+t2

if t1 >= 50 then
put "you have passed the quiz."
Music.PlayFileReturn("the music you want to play")

elsif t1 < 50 then
put "you have failled the quiz."
Music.PlayFileReturn("the music you want to play")


hope this helps

[4sak3nX]

ok ill try this out and get back to you.

[4sak3nX]

ok the counting works fine but the sound wont play.

i put the sound name into the brackets under quotations but it wont play.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Are they in the same location?/The folder they are in is in the same location. That's very important. Did you try it with single/double quotations?

thats what i have and both sounds are on my desktop

[chrisbrown]

Windows hides extensions by default. You need to add .mp3 (or .wav, depending on the file you're using) to your filenames.

[SNIPERDUDE]

Incorrect, AC/DC is the greatest band ever.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Do you really need seperate strings for each answer? tt doesn't seem to do anything as well. Just pointing that out.

[DemonWasp]

Apparently people who are 16 years old are in the "15 and younger" age group.

[USEC_OFFICER]

How can you be the greatest man alive, and barney is the greatest person ever? There, I've run circles around you logically.

[SNIPERDUDE]

Maybe a quiz with better questions and a four options per question would have been better. But rather than dwell on past projects of such simplicity try expanding your current know-how. Why not try some graphics?

[USEC_OFFICER]

How about a simple scrolling game to start out with? It's very simple, yet looks good and professional.

first off this isnt suposed to be logical. I mad it like this. Second its for school so all you are saying about what i should add content wise is completely wasted. It won change. Thank you for the help about the sound though.
