Turing Monopoly game troubles

[CyberStorm]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I am trying to finish my turing monopoly game for the upcoming due date.


What is the problem you are having?
1. the program does not draw the player's piece and does not update the money if the position # goes over 20.
2. should all "position" related code be outside of the function to make it simpler?
3. what do i need to add to the code to make the game be playable with more than one player?
4. how do i make the textbox intake and process the "y" or "n" when it comes to deciding if you want to buy a property or not, since it is currently done through the simple "get" statement which is not how i would like it to be.
5. are there any suggestions that you have for me to make the code better/more organized?


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
1. i think that the problem could be in the fact that the if statement that subtracts 20 from the current position value is in the procedure, so in order for the piece to be drawn it has to go through the procedure again..is there a way to fix that?
2. i have tried putting the code outside the procedure, but the game did not work properly after.
3. i have some code set aside there which would switch the player, based on the "count" var value, but how do i make all the "position" code apply to other players too?
4. i have tried the "GUIGet()" statement, but it does not work; probably because i need more code before i can make that statement work, but im not sure what code that would be...

arrays and functions will be your best friends, as they'll let you generalize for similar situations. Instead of writing out a bunch of code for what happens on property #4, you write (pretty much the same) code for what happens on _some_ property, and just use the same function for all the properties. You code is now 1/20th the size! Awesome. The less code you have, the easier it is to figure out what's going on and fix bugs. (To be fair, that's true only up to some point.)
