A simple "Yes/No" Game

Recommended Posts

New to the community here, and pretty much a n00b at AutoIt, but i had aidea for an extremely simple game.

It'll be based on the day the recon aircraft flying over Cuba discovered the launch site, thus begining the Cuban Missile Crisis. As the President, you will have to be consaulted by ministers about the current situation. They'll give you an option, and youll get to rpely "Yes" or "No". If one says "Yes" then youll have a different string of questions coming for you then if you said no, because, well, if you said "no" certain things wouldn't have happened.

Well, each "yes" or "No" will advance time on a certain interval, e.g one may advance time by 1 hour, 1 day, 5hours, 30 minutes, so on so forth, andyou choices will decide whether or not the Cuban |Missile crisis will have a good ending for you, those dang Commies', or everyone, or...No one. (Boom)

And depending on your choices you'll get certain points, and at the end youll get them totalled, and ya....

So. I can't do this with a simple "Msgbox", so heres the first issue. I need a GUI. I've never made a GUI. Hazah. Also the last time i used actual functions was like....oh gosh....probably atleast 6 months ago by now, because i had a big time of "Not using AutoIT" in summer, so im fairly rusty.

Being to lazy to search for tutorials doesn't help either.

yay

Well, as i said, im basically a n00b. Explain what i could do in the message box, so if I said "Yes" a different string would come up, and if I said "no" a different string would come up.

EDIT: Also i want to use pictures in it if possible, which is where the GUI would come in handy, no?

well problem is i can only get on at school and my friends laptop (which im not installing AutoIt to it) but its on my actual computer, only problem is.....it died on saturday. Motherboard burnt. Thankgod, that thing was 8 years old, but luckily our 500GB internal harddrive is FINE :) but we were supposed to have our new PC by tommorrow so i could have my autoit on it, but now its not goona come til NEXT week. A similar story to the Fallout 3 i ordered 4 weeks ago. Still hasn't come in. It was supposed to be in by the end of Week 2.

:\ Canada must be like, the epicenter of slow delivery.

Wow, I like this idea of a simple game :) Nice idea mate! I suggest using InputBox() instead of a message box, But thats just me... a msgbox will work the same.. But if you start to learn some more and wanted to go into bigger answers inputbox() would be the way to go! :) well good luck mate, Im eager to see this finished project :huh2: and if you need anymore help with anything dont hesitate to ask or PM me ^_^

OR you can use GUI, its relatively easy goin g just when a button is pressed hide and unhide labels, use timerinit() and timediff() its not really hard i made a simple point and clieck game my self check my sig but yeah

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS FUBB!

but really use the helpfile its your best friend

*Sigh*

I guess I have no choice. This isn't liek the good ole' days where the coders coded by themselves, no help, no help files, or nothing...

*cough*not that I would know*cough*

Actually I guess it's a good thing we've turned into a global community on relying on the intellegiance (spelling?) of others in order for our selves to "Rise to the top"

So. Yes.

^^ What he said...The AutoIT help file is the best info. Ive every come across for the a scripting language... seriously its straight to the point and you can search a specific function with no bullshit + whats related to it... Try to do that with MSDN...(lolz) youll get like a google search a bunch of crap your not even looking for.. But seriously just use the search section for any questions you might have about certain functions. Thats how I learned

Here is a structure you could use... it ONE way you could do it.

Global $q = "This is the first question", $answers = ""
While 1
    $response = MsgBox(3, "Question #" & StringLen($answers) + 1, $q)
    If $response = 2 Then Exit
    _NextQ($response)
WEnd

Func _NextQ($i_response)
    $answers &= $i_response
    Select
        Case $answers = "6"
            $q = "This is the question I want to ask if you chose YES"
        Case $answers = "7"
            $q = "This is the question I want to ask if you chose NO"
        Case $answers = "66"
            $q = "This is the question I want to ask if you chose YES-YES"
        Case $answers = "67"
            $q = "This is the question I want to ask if you chose YES-NO"
        Case $answers = "76"
            $q = "This is the question I want to ask if you chose NO-YES"
        Case Else
            MsgBox(16, "Error", "Unexpected sequence of answers:" & @CRLF & $answers)
            Exit
    EndSelect
EndFunc   ;==>_NextQ

[edit] tweaked code just a little [/edit]

one problem with that code that ihave is, the 6 is yes, the 7 is no, but ill eventually get into confusingly long seqeunces, and in turn will then have to have things like 6676776767766 or some such nonsense. Is there a way to do it a different way? Also, some questions will require only a "Continue" button. How do I make it so i put just that into the Case $answers code? Or...

Also, it has come to my attention lately that, Laptops without mice, suck :[

I cannot wait until our nw pc comes in...

You could make it "slightly" more readable by replacing 6 and 7 with Y and N respectively:

Global $q = "This is the first question", $answers = ""
While 1
    $response = MsgBox(3, "Question #" & StringLen($answers) + 1, $q)
    If $response = 2 Then Exit
    _NextQ($response)
WEnd

Func _NextQ($i_response)
    If $i_response = 6 Then
        $i_response = "Y"
    Else
        $i_response = "N"
    EndIf
    $answers &= $i_response
    Select
        Case $answers = "Y"
            $q = "This is the question I want to ask if you chose YES"
        Case $answers = "N"
            $q = "This is the question I want to ask if you chose NO"
        Case $answers = "YY"
            $q = "This is the question I want to ask if you chose YES-YES"
        Case $answers = "NY"
            $q = "This is the question I want to ask if you chose NO-YES"
        Case $answers = "NYY"
            $q = "This is the question I want to ask if you chose NO-YES-YES"
        Case $answers = "NYYN"
            MsgBox(0, "Question 5 Part 1", "First part of next question")
            MsgBox(0, "Question 5 Part 2", "Second part of next question")
            $q = "This is the last part of the question I want to ask if you chose NO-YES-YES-NO"
        Case Else
            MsgBox(16, "Error", "Unexpected sequence of answers")
            Exit
    EndSelect
EndFunc   ;==>_NextQ

I don't know if that is any less confusing when you have to write the appropriate question for every possible permutation... but that's what your looking at any way you go as far as I can see.

You should be able to see the way I included the continuation question you asked in the section of code under NYYN.
