Program Suggestions... please & thanks!

[HelloWorld]

Hello world, I have this school assignment I have been working on for a little while now, it is to create a program that will output a customers receipt for purchasing vehicle parts. This program will be for our grade nine shop class. Anyway, I made it, and added a bunch of extra little things. Now all I need is some suggestions to improve it.

To improve anything about it; interface, output whatever, you name it.

Anyway I start using Turing, like actually USING it a week ago. So don't forget, I am a newbe. Download my program below.

Thank you! By the way, I appreciated all the help you gave me with this program!

Although, I am still looking for suggestions in improving this program... anyone?

look at the following codes

code:

%-----------------Buttons & vars- Main Menu---------------------- locate (17, 48) put "-Create a receipt"  %Start Comment var startb : int := GUI.CreateButton (300, 275, 70, "Start", start) locate (19, 48) put "-See who made this program" %Credit Comment var creditb : int := GUI.CreateButton (300, 242, 70, "Credits", credit) locate (21, 48) put "-Instructions on how to use this program" %Manual Comment var manualb : int := GUI.CreateButton (300, 210, 70, "Manual", manual) locate (23, 48) put "-Quit the program" %Quit Comment var doneb : int := GUI.CreateButton (300, 178, 70, "Quit", done) %----------------------------------------------------------------

after each line of put command, you should put 2 dots, so it looks like this

code:

put "-Create a receipt"..

little things like that makes your program change a bit in appearance.

if you want to make it fancy, start learning about GUI and drop-down menus in F10. search for menu codes and learn them. i taught myself how those menu works and it was worth doing it.

also it would be better if you used text fields for all the information input. it was kinda lengthy. plus it would be better if you error trap all inputs. but guess you cant expect too much outta a grade 9.

Actually I am a grade 10, its for a grade 9 class though. And yeah, I think I will look up on drop down menus and stuff, maybe I should make a back button on each page, so a user can return to the beginning menu..

Errr... I have tried using text fields before, but it always ended up giving me about 25 different error messages. So I sort of gave up on that, and I don't think I will try it again without any help. If you (myob) want to help me with it, or give me some pointers, I might try again.

Also, everyone is welcome to give any suggestions for my program. Like point out thinks to change for better appearance/performance, or give new ideas to add on to it. Whatever, I will take everything into consideration. So please post them..
