Hello! I am new to Multimedia Fusion 2, and I was just wondering if this was possible. I need to make a learning game for my Graphics Arts Class. We were trying to make a meteor impact style game where you would have to find zeroes of quadratic equations (EX: x^2 + 3x + 2 = 0). Is it possible to make a random equation generator that uses this type of equation? Or should we just scrap the idea and try a different learning game?
Thanks in advance.
Sounds straight-forward, but could you explain in a bit more detail please.

x^2 + 3x + 2 = 0
A B C DA E F = G

Which parts of the equation should be randomly generated?
(list the corresponding letters)
Quadratic formula is ax^2 + bx + c = 0. A, B, and C would all need to be assigned randomly.
Yes, you can do this by generating random numbers in either counters or hidden values (use the expression random(x) to get a number between 0 and x-1, and then subtract or add to it to get the range you want). A quadratic equation would be represented by:
value("Counter A")*(value("Counter X") Pow 2) + value("Counter B")*value("Counter X") + value("Counter C")
Thank you! I'll try it out.
OK, I am a little confused as to how to implement it into a counter. *is a noob to the program*
How would I put it into the counter, exactly? I couldn't find the answer in the forum or the help in the program itself.
Matt,
Could you be more specific on what you are trying to make and I'll try and make a demo file for you.
Do you want to use the quadratic formula to calculate the answers or do you want to only generate equations that have whole numbers as the answers.
Do you want students to put in the answers and see if they are correct.
The more info you give, the more likely I can make a demo that will help you.

Just thought I'd bump this because I'm still having trouble. To recap, I need to figure out how to use a counter or string to make an equation generator.
right click a blank section of your frame and click "Insert Object". Then scroll down and find the "counter object". Double click it and click again in your frame and it will show up at your cursor.
I've created a simple quadratic equation generator which calculates the two roots. It also checks and avoids a negative under the square root when calculating the solution.
I'll post the example in the fiel archive.
Steve
