Who Wants To Be A Millionare?

This is the central topic for the game we have been told to create.

Post screenshots, code, help and useful links here, and discuss the assignment.

I have gathered a few useful links:

http://cuinl.tripod.com/tips-and-tricks.htm: This is an incredibly useful site with a lot of code to use on it.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kehz1dz1(v=VS.80).aspx: Microsoft's official site with VB help.

Post anything you find!

Thanks matt, any places where I can translate any normal sized worlds/text to ascii?

Here:

You need to upload the pictures first though, I suggest using imgur.

Another good resource is this:

Unicode Symbol Map

Is there a way to make questions more random? For example I want each "level" have two questions that could show, that the program determines. The problem is finding a way to make it random. Can anyone help out?

For those of you who want to be able to store your questions in a text file, I have attached a new lab to Unit 6 on Moodle

Thankyou David

What has everyone put in their test table? Like examples.

I've used Get Name, Possible Question Answers, Lifeline variables and such

I don't know if mine is completely finished but mine has in it:
Get Name
Get Answer
Get Life-line
Leave during game
Attempt to used a life-line that has already been used
Attempt to use life-line when all have been used

Life Lines
Question Answers
Get Name
Home Page

Home Page? What's the input for that?



Liam what about 'Take the money and run'?

How do you stop the user from typing nothing into the name section?

If " " then

console.writeline("please re-enter) or something like that

Thanks Matt, I'll try that.

no problem

off-topic: nice avatar pic xD

Why thank you

It would appear that the 'If' statement doesn't work. I'll try a do until statement

Who is actually going to use Arrays? I know Dave wants us to but it just doesn't seem to flow for me, Doesn't even look like code. Can't deicide whether to go back to subs?

David says that he will hurt you if you do not use arrays, which is the only reason I'm using them. I would much prefer to use subs but unfortunately I cannot.

How do you make sure that only a,b,c or d are entered as an answer. I'm trying to use a do until loop, but it doesn't work and has a bitch fit.
