Memory Game?

[INViSAR]

Hello!

As my previous topic explains, I am creating an educational game with many different tasks.
Letter-individual checking <-- Link

The task I am now trying to create is a memory style game where the "tiles" are randomized every time you enter the room. The thing is, I do not know any way of making this happen as well as the memory game itself?

Thank you in advance!

Here, I made you an example:

It should work with any (even) number of cards, without you needing to change any of the code.
Enjoy

Wow, thanks MuddyMole!

I'm just wondering about one thing, how could I change what the cards display?
The memory game will include pictures of animals, but how do I change the pictures shown on the cards?

Thanks again!

Noticed an issue I'm having with "matching" the pairs.

Since we have alot of different cards, many more than in the example ( 60 ), I noticed that the cards do not get removed even though they are matched together..
What could cause that?

Thanks again!

All the cards are duplicates of a single card object.

To change the appearance of the cards, you just open up the object in the animation editor - each card image is stored in a different direction.
Note that direction 0 is the image used for the back of the card.

For my example, I only made something like 6 different cards. What that means, is that if you have 60 cards, there are going to be 30 different card types, but still only the same 6 card images.
There will be cards whose alterable values are different (meaning they don't match), but which use the same image, so they look like they *should* match.

So, if you have more cards, you can either draw more different card images, or have more than 2 of each card type.
Or in fact with 60 cards you'll probably want to do both.

I've made a few changes to my example, which should make it a bit easier:

I've added a global value called "NoCardsOfEach" - you MUST set this value to the number of cards of each type that you want to have.
eg: If you want 4 Giraffe cards (ie. 2 Pairs) you set it to 4.

For 60 cards, you might want 10 different animal cards, with 3 pairs of each (you'd set "NoCardsOfEach" to 6).
10 * (3 * 2) = 60

I hope that's clear now, but if you have any questions, just ask

Yes it's completely clear!

Thank you very much mate!
Helped alot!

Still having problems with the String Parser for the Alphabet though.. :/

Thanks for the help!
