OK-
Working on this project for elementarty school aged kids - coming along nicely until today when I began working on a spelling program.
I dont have a good handle on utilizing alterior values or flags (which probably is needed here?), so I tried it without them. Included is the mess I created!!
With someone who has a little time....could you fool around with this and make it run right??? lol
(there are about 7 more animals i need to add)
thnx for any help!
Before I spend any time looking at it, I will give you a tip to help you have more fun viewing your events.
Instead of having one event for each letter clicked, do the following:
User clicks on Group.Good:
-Group.Good: Flash during 00"-09
-Made tidier
-Fixed and deleted bugs
-Added "FROG"
I hope this is what you want.
here you go. i fixed some stuff. But you seem to have alot of simple mistakes, i would take your time and check over the basic stuff in your game first. Also try the tutorials. Here is the game:
Much thnx guys - very appreciated! I get to a point where things just seem garbled and I cant SEE those simple mistakes! Im gonna keep pluggin though - it helps having your support and guidance!
one more question!
In the version Im working on I have audio files play when each letter is clicked. So when "A" is clicked the sound of "A" is played, and so on. Had to delete these files when sending them here cause it was too large.
In both your fixed versions (which work great), I now havent a clue how to incorporate these wav's, since "group" is clicked instead of individual letters. Is there an easy way to do this or will I still need to have each letter clicked -in addition- to using the group click? -hope u understand my querstion-
Ok rich, I think I found a way of making you spelling program in around 10 or 15 events!
But I am in a different computer, I will be sure to finish the newest version ASAP!
Here is an idea that is probably much more complicated than neccasary.
Create a folder in your application's folder called "Sounds". Add all the letter sound files to this folder. Add the event (At the top):
Start of Frame:
-Group.Good: Spread Value 1 in Alterable Value A
Then create a list object. Add to this list the names of all the sound files starting at the top. For example, if the sound file for "A" was named "ASound.wav" you would add that name to the first line. Add this action to Click on Group.Good:
-Play Sample File apppath$+"\"+List Line Text$( "List", Alterable Value A("Group.Good"))
Does this work?
Dynamite - thnx, much appreciated!
Jaffob - Well, I took the long route and just added the xtra events for now and the sounds work fine...but I've run into more problems just trying to adapt some of your changes into furthering things with other animals & actions. But dont help (for now) - I need to figure this stuff out, its probably the ONLY way I'm gonna grasp any of this. Just seeing what changes you DID make has taught me a lot! There's just MORE stuff I need to understand!
Truly, I feel like the lowly waterboy, barely worthy of carrying your (and others) bat! lol
Some of this stuff's sinking in though, just not fast enough for my liking!!!
A BIG thnx once again!
well
thpought id point out a bug, if you press a letter thats in the word like4 times than it will think that you had pressed all 3 of the buttons.
