Project Help
Apr 17th, 2007, 1:01pm  
Right, the idea I have for a project, due in 2 weeks, is a typing game, basically, you have to type words in within a time limit.

Far as I see it, in english, the parameters I would need are:

Input and display, e.g. as you type the word "bucket" in, parts of a picture of a bucket would display on screen.

Successful completion within a time limit brings up a new word

Unsuccessful brings you back to the start

The input for the typing seems easy enough, but what would I need to create a back to start method, and "new word" method as well?  Would it mostly consist of "if" commands?

Pleae bare with any of my naiveity as I'm only 3 weeks into its basics

you can do something like that:

void draw(){
 switch(step){
   case 1: newWord();
                                                     break;
   case 2: start();
                                                     break;
   case 3: gameOver();
                                                     break;
 }
}

where the variable step indicate in wich part of your game you are.
Just an idea, don't know if it's the best solution Smiley
Hope it help.
Cheers,
Simon.
