Multiple Problems in my game I cant solve

[mains50]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I am trying to solve the problem in my game. The game is millionaire


What is the problem you are having?
music wont play, after person looses a game the next screen wont show. And i dont know how to write the If statement for the help options, for example when the persons clicks the call a friend option i want to write the if statement for that.


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
every thing i could think of

Turing:

<Add your code here>

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1

You are already checking where the mouse is when the user clicks you just got to make sure if it is within the play text than play otherwise check if it is within the instructions text and display the instructions.

how do u do that.. i am sorry but its just been 3 months since i am doing turing

You know the location of the mouse (you check for it), and you know the location of the text (since you draw it). You compare the numbers that describe those locations.

As for the problem of the lose screen not showing, it is due to this segment of the code:

Turing:

exit when correct = 11 or wrong = 1     if correct = 11 then         %Drawing the winning screen         fork cheer         drawbox (5, 420, 700, 220, 1)         Draw.Text ("YOU WON THE GAME", 150, 500, titleFont, blue)         Draw.Text (" Here is your cheuqe", 0, 400, textFont, blue)         Draw.Text (" Please Enter your name:", 0, 370, textFont, blue)         Draw.Text (" The money you won is", correct, 370, textFont, blue)     elsif wrong = 1 then         Draw.Text ("wrong", 810, 400, questionFont, black)         Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2, maxy div 2, 175, 175, yellow)         Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2 - 75, maxy div 2 + 45, 50, 50, black)         Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2 + 75, maxy div 2 + 45, 50, 50, black)         Draw.Arc (maxx div 2, maxy div 2 - 145, 125, 100, 40, 140, black)         Draw.Arc (maxx div 2, maxy div 2 - 145, 124, 99, 40, 140, black)         Draw.Arc (maxx div 2, maxy div 2 - 145, 123, 98, 40, 140, black)         Draw.Arc (maxx div 2, maxy div 2 - 145, 122, 97, 40, 140, black)         Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2 - 75, maxy div 2 + 45, 30, 30, red)         Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2 + 75, maxy div 2 + 45, 30, 30, red)         Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2 - 75, maxy div 2 + 45, 19, 19, brightred)         Draw.FillOval (maxx div 2 + 75, maxy div 2 + 45, 19, 19, brightred)     end if end loop

It is exiting if wrong = 1, which dosn't allow it to get to the elsif wrong = 1 (which, from the code, looks like it draws a frowning face or something.
This section of code should be put in a seperate procedure which is called if wrong = 1, or the exit when wrong = 1 line should be removed.

Also, if the music that you can't get to play is the Audience.wav, then it should probably be:

Turing:

Music.PlayFileLoop ("Audience.Wav")

Instead of:

Turing:

Music.PlayFile ("Audience.Wav")

Music.PlayFileLoop does exactly what you would assume from it's name, it will continue to play the file until you stop it with:

Turing:

Music.PlayFileStop

You do not need to specify the filename with Music.PlayFileStop.

If this is not the music you mean, then I think the problem may be your computer, since all of the music seemed to work fine for me.

Thanks that solved alot of problems, after i edit it there is another problem. When i get the question right it does not go to next question it just shows a white screen after. Also can you help me with the help optionlike is this the write code if somebody clicks the " Call a friend option"
%if lifeLine = call a friend then
cls
%Draw.Text ("Friend i need help", 810, 400, questionFont, black)

%end if

[Cezna]

I will have to go through the code some more to figure out the best way to do the help options, so I will post back on that in a while.

Also, if you want to post code, put this infront of the code in your post:
<code="Turing">
and this after:
</code>
except with square brackets (these ones [ ]), instead of triangle brackets (these ones < >).

As for the problem with the right screen after getting the right answer, I can only guess that that if statement was doing something else, but you will have to post your updated code for me to be able to give any meaningful help.

here is the updated code, also sometimes opening screen works other time it doesn't

[USEC_OFFICER]

Wait, sometimes it does or sometimes it doesn't? What error (if any) do you get? (Because it should always work or never work, not sometimes.)

there is no error, sometimes it shows the beginning screen other time it doesn't

huh??? lol i dont thinks that possible it either shows it or it doesnt. theres no middle ground for it showing or not

i tried running ur game and i cant cause i dont have eveything... if u want ppl to help with something u kinda have to include the stuff that we can test it with or else its just a bunch of code... for example your data file i have no idea what u wrote for it so i cant exactly help

oh that u should look it in my first post there is zip file that includes everything

[Monduman11]

umm i looked at your game and for me the title screen works... only thing that doesnt work is i cant get past the second question. have u scripted it to go past the second question? cause whatever i click it just says wrong

thats werid the answer for the first one is 1939, there is also a code which is "question:+=1" -----> which shows the next question

[Monduman11]

i know i got past the ww2 question its the soccer or football one that doest work
