game doesnt resume after answering quiz question

edited December 2017 in Questions about Code

Hallo guys iam currently programming a game for my project and dont know hot to solve my problem. When the figur enters a sprecific space defined in the method enterRect() a new quiz screen is called. when ur answer is correct the method correctAnswer will be called and when u answer false the method falseAnswer() will be called.My problem is after i the answer question the display doesnt change from correct/false to the game. my variable correctAnswer/falseAnswer is always on 1 after answering the question.

Edit the methods correctAnswer and falseAnswer() are in the Question class.

Code:

my question variables and methods for quiz screen:

    public int falseAnswer=0;
    public int correctAnswer=0;

void setup() {
  frameRate(60);
  questions= new Question[7];

  ball= new Ball(50);
  s= new Shape();
  s.createRect(100, 80);
  s.createRect(100, 500);

  s.createRect(800, 80);
  s.createRect(800, 500);
}

void draw() {

  if (gameScreen==0) {
    initScreen();
  } else if (gameScreen==1) {
    gameStartScreen();
  } else if (gameScreen==2) {
    gameOverScreen();
  } else if (gameScreen==3) {
    quizScreen();
  }
  //print("K "+correctAnswer+" F "+falseAnswer);
}


public void quizScreen() {
  questions[0]=new Question("Wer", "Wer", "Wer", "Wer", "Wer");
  question=questions[0];
  if (correctAnswer==1) {
    question.correctAnswer();
  } else if (falseAnswer==1) {
    question.falseAnswer();
  }
}


void startGame() {
  gameScreen=1;
}
void gameOver() {
  gameScreen=2;
}
public void startQuiz() {
  gameScreen=3;
}


void mousePressed() {

  // if we are on the initial screen , start the game 
  if (gameScreen==0) { 
    startGame();
  }
  if (gameScreen==1) {
    startGame();
  }
  if (gameScreen==2) {
    startGame();
  }
  if (gameScreen==3) {
    startQuiz();
   if(correctAnswer==1){
    startGame();
   }else if(falseAnswer==1){
    gameStartScreen(); 
   }
}
}



public void mouseReleased() {
  if (mouseX >0 && mouseX < (0+150) && mouseY >150 && mouseY<(150+150)) {
    falseAnswer=1;
  } else if (mouseX >150 && mouseX <(150+150) && mouseY >150 && mouseY< (150+150)) {
    falseAnswer=1;
  } else if ( mouseX > 300 && mouseX <(300+150) && mouseY >150 && mouseY <(150+150)) {
    falseAnswer=1;
  } else if (mouseX >450 && mouseX <(450+150) && mouseY >150 && mouseY <(150+150)) {
    correctAnswer=1;
  }
}



public void enterRect() {

  //not finished
  if (x>=85 && x<=245 && y>=60 && y<=135 ) {
    startQuiz();
  }
}

    You've got a lot going on here. I suspect the issue is that, after the quiz answer is given, you never actually have the sketch leave the in-a-quiz state.

  • panda123panda123

    Yeah that seems to be the Problem but i dont know how to solve it. Shall I post my whole main sketch code ?

    is the issue around here, in mousePressed()? :

      else if (gameScreen==3) {
    startQuiz(); // ????????
    if (correctAnswer==1) {
      startGame();
    }
    if (falseAnswer==1) {
      restart();
    }
  }

    because startGame() and restart() are almost the same: gameScreen=1;

    in mousePressed() you should use not if...if... but if...else if..... !!!

    in mouseReleased() and in keyPressed() you should use gameScreen too in this way.

    you need to reset correctAnswer and falseAnswer to 0

    Also because of this:

    When the figur enters a sprecific space defined in the method enterRect() a new quiz screen is called

    you maybe want to move the figure out of this space when going back to the ball game

    Remark

    when I click an answer nothing happens - only when clicking the question? The rects are totally off.

    Remark II

    I've seen horrible horrible things in this code. I won't comment on them. I haven't changed them.

    first

    correctAnswer and falseAnswer are redundant: only one can be 1 at a time, or both be 0.

    instead, you should have 2 new gameScreens, gameScreenFalseAnswer and gameScreenRightAnswer

    handle those like the other gameScreens in draw, in mousePressed, in mouseReleased, in keyPressed

    so you got rid of correctAnswer and falseAnswer completely

    second

    you can name your states:

    final int gameScreenInit = 0;
final int gameScreenStartScreen = 1;
final int gameScreenGameOverScreen = 2;
final int gameScreenQuizScreen = 3;

    etc.

    note that they are constants (final) and all are starting with their purpose: gameScreen.....

    then your draw() is better readable:

     if (gameScreen==gameScreenInit ) {
    initScreen();
  } else if (gameScreen==gameScreenStartScreen ) {
    gameStartScreen();
  } else if (gameScreen==gameScreenGameOverScreen ) {
    gameOverScreen();
  } else if (gameScreen==gameScreenQuizScreen ) {
    quizScreen();
  }
  //print("K "+correctAnswer+" F "+falseAnswer);
}

    Third, use switch() in draw(), in mousePressed, in mouseReleased, in keyPressed :

    switch(gameScreen) {

  case gameScreenInit: 
        initScreen();
      break; 
....
...

    Fourth

    loadImages() only in setup

    Fifth

    define the entire array for your questions in setup, not on the way

        questions[0]=new Question("Who ? ", " Answer 1", " A 2 ", " A 3", "A 4");
    questions[1]=new Question("Where? ", " Answer B1", "A B2 ", " A B3", "A B4");
    ...
    .....

    Sixth

    you don't need the variable question at all, the array question is enough

  • panda123panda123

    when I click an answer nothing happens - only when clicking the question?

    its because i used at first PApplet with a small size than changed it to full size but forgot to adjust the coordinates sry!

    I've seen horrible horrible things in this code. I won't comment on them. I haven't changed them. Would be nice if u could tell me there i need to improve the code ofc if u arent anooyed already haha.

    Iam just gonna adjust the coordinates in mouspressed() but my main problem is when i start the game and enter the specific space defined in enterRect()

    mouseReleased() corrected public void mouseReleased() { if (mouseX >0 && mouseX < (0+300) && mouseY >300 && mouseY<(300+300)) { falseAnswer=1; } else if (mouseX >300 && mouseX <(300+300) && mouseY >300 && mouseY< (300+300)) { falseAnswer=1; } else if ( mouseX > 600 && mouseX <(600+300) && mouseY >300 && mouseY <(300+300)) { falseAnswer=1; } else if (mouseX >900 && mouseX <(900+300) && mouseY >300 && mouseY <(300+300)) { correctAnswer=1; } }

    and gameScreen corrected gameScreen=0

    but my main problem is when i start the game and enter the specific space defined in enterRect()

    what is the problem there then?

  • ChrisirChrisir

    don't do the question display in the constructor of the class

    make a method display() in the class

    and call it

    thank u alot!

    what is the problem there then?

    i guess the problem is that i never leave the in quiz state. when i answer the question either correct or answer the code switches between quiz and answer/false display but doesnt return to the game.thats why i think the problem is in the mousePressed() method ` public void mousePressed() {

      // if we are on the initial screen when clicked, start the game 
  if (gameScreen==0) { 
    startGame();
  } else if (gameScreen==1) {
    startGame();
  } else if (gameScreen==2) {
    restart();
  } else if (gameScreen==3) {
    startQuiz(); // ????????we are already on 3
    if (correctAnswer==1) {
      startGame();
    } else if (falseAnswer==1) {
      restart();
    }
  }
}`

    yeah it returns to the game after the first time answering the quiz but when u enter the space again its like loop between quiz and false/correct Answer display. And when u change gameScreen to 0 and enter the quiz space u cant reenter the game and its just a loop between quiz and false/answer display.

    not sure what you want here,

    but shouldn't you use

     if (gameScreen==0) { 
    .....
  } else if (gameScreen==1) {
    ........

    in this:

    public void mouseReleased() {
  if (mouseX >0 && mouseX < (0+300) && mouseY >300 && mouseY<(300+300)) {
    gameScreen=5;

    There two problems when i run the code, first when i start the code and click on the false/correct space i get false/correct display without even entering the coordinates defined in enterRect() method. and second when i enter the defined space in enterRect() i just have the same problem as before a loop between quiz and false/correct answer

  • ChrisirChrisir

    as I said, this is unnecessary

      question=questions[0];
  question.display();

    just say

             questions[0].display();
  • panda123panda123

    not sure what you want here,

    but shouldn't you use 1 2 3 4
    if (gameScreen==0) { ..... } else if (gameScreen==1) { ........

    in this:

    public void mouseReleased() { if (mouseX >0 && mouseX < (0+300) && mouseY >300 && mouseY<(300+300)) { gameScreen=5; } else if (mouseX >300 && mouseX <(300+300) && mouseY >300 && mouseY< (300+300)) { gameScreen=5; } else if ( mouseX > 600 && mouseX <(600+300) && mouseY >300 && mouseY <(300+300)) { gameScreen=5; } else if (mouseX >900 && mouseX <(900+300) && mouseY >300 && mouseY <(300+300)) { gameScreen=4; } }

    that solved my first problem but now when quiz display starts and i click on one of the answers nothing happens. and i think the problem is in one of these two methods below changed version: public void mousePressed() {

          // if we are on the initial screen when clicked, start the game 
      if (gameScreen==0) { 
        startGame();
      } else if (gameScreen==1) {

      } else if (gameScreen==3) {

        restart();
      } else if ( mouseX > 600 && mouseX <(600+300) && mouseY >300 && mouseY <(300+300)) {
        restart();
      } else if (mouseX >900 && mouseX <(900+300) && mouseY >300 && mouseY <(300+300)) {

    So all in one mouseReleased determine if u click on the correct or false Answer.

    mouseReleased is only appropriate when if (gameScreen==gameScreenQuizScreen ), right ?

    ??

    you need to check the functions:

    is startGame(); doing what you expect?
