writing a score

[GodForsakenSoul]

i'm in the ending stages of my first ever program! yay me.

i'm having a small problem with the score window.

while i CAN use a label for it, i don't want to. i want to use pictures of numbers instead.

my current idea is incredibly retarded because i basically think of mapping out every possibly 1-9 outcome.

that will be time consuming, and i will end up with an ungodly huge function.

is there an easier way that i don't know of?

Take images: 1.png 2.png 3.png 4.png etc.etc. 8.png 9.png

Write algorithm: SetImage($c, $i) = set image to control $c to image $i.png

Then another algorithm: SetNumber($i) = SetImage($leftcontrol, Round($i/10)) , SetImage($rightcontrol, Mod($i, 10))

could you explain it more thoroughly please?

i can't quite understand what you mean

[jvanegmond]

If you're uncomfortable with talking in abstracts, make your question concrete. Show what you're trying to do in some pseudo code, and I'll improve it in some pseudo code.

$score=iniread("OPT.INI","ANSWERS","SCORE","0")

StringDivide($score) ;put spaces between each number

And from there somehow get the position of each individual number and set a large function to assign the pictures depending on the number and its position.

is it even possible?

I would try using StringSplit, StringSplit ($score, ""), then (with 0.png thru 9.png already created) pick the correct file with array[n], (array[n] & ".png"), with an array[0] loop.

the problem with StringSplit() is that i have to have a "denlimiter".

snce i'm string splitting a variable, i don't have a way to shove it in between numbers.

otherwise it would be awesome.

your delimetar is "" so it will split it on nothing, did you try it before you posted this?

Remarks

If you use a blank string "" for the delimiters, each character will be returned as an element.
