Programmers! HELP!
 

ok, i'm my computer engineering class which the damn school put me, we are doing a project with Qbasic. and this is all I know in qbasic

INPUT "hello, what is your name "; username$' "."
PRINT "hello, "; username$;

and I need major help on it! out game is basicly you are late for school and you have options but each option has a diff. one and I diff. conseqence! this is what I have so far for the lay out, and this is purely text!

1a) You rush to school and your sent for a late slip

I don't know how to program yet but I'm assuming you will play with IFs and
THENs, correct ?

It's just a simple hierarchy thing...

{ THIS IS THE BIG SET

......... IF { THIS IS A SMALLER SET
.................. THEN { EVEN SMALLER SET #1}
}

.........IF { THIS IS A SMALLER SET
.................. THEN { EVEN SMALLER SET #2}
}

}

Get the idea? Again, I don't know shit about programming yet so this is just
what I think I got from watching a friend going at it...

I don't know qbasic.

is it anything like c++?

thnx soli, I kinda get it, and ninty9 I have no clue, never really used c++ but this kinda what you do


CLS
INPUT "hello, what is your name? "; username$' "."
PRINT " hello, "; username$;
INPUT "How are you today? "; username$;

and so on...

I don't know what it would be in QBasic, but to do it in C:
I would use a string for the username thing, then a bunch of if or switch/break statements for the actual gameplay options.

i am a programmer i got my microwave working what do you need help with

I can do games in C++, it just takes time. Art, I forgot to ask you, does this game require graphics in QBASIC?

just what we need another HUGE asian prince sig

More like another HUGE moron.

I know how to turn my computer on..... that's about it.

Dont know anything about QBasic, but it has to have if then statements

(if it has switch statements you could use them too, but there's not really many selections there) You want something along the lines of :

1) if (a == "get up and rush to school) then
if (b == "sign in and go to class) then
do something
else if (b == "sign in and wander around")
do something else
else
do some other thing
else if (a ==....

ie, bunch of embedded if's

what school still teaches QBasic though? that really sucks big!!
Get into a good C++ program then ask lol

haha, um....no Cethin, the game us purely text wise, and you have like options

1)goto school
2)stay home


that kinda stuff and it doesn't gotta be very long of a game.
