Hi
I'm really having trouble with my assignment which is due in a week. I have to create a tic tac toe game in which players are allowed to take a turn only if they answer the questions correctly. There are 50 questions in total and they should be generated randomly and are not allowed to appear more than once. All I have done so far is a procedure for getting all the 50 questions and the answers and I put them in a file. I opened a new file and opened the file where my questions and answers are stored but how do I randomize it? and I havent specified which is the correct answer(they are all multiple choice) in the first program. Do I specify the correct answer in the file where I input the questions and answers?
How do I make my "X" and "O" appear in the box that the mouse clicks on in the tic tac toe board? please help ... I'm really desperate.. i will fail if i do not get this program done

What programming language? If it's php I may be able to help you, but if it's C++ or some other language I don't know much about custom GUI programming to be able to help. I've done boxes with basic buttons and other windows elements but not sure how to make customones (such as X and Os)

This is turing programming language... its for school and i have to stick with turing...even if u have any ideas of how to make the game, cud u please let me no? i need an idea...

I never did turing, but I assume they must of showed you how? It looks like an easy enough language to learn, just hard to find resources since it's anciant.

Sorry I can't help. Hopefully you'll figure it out or someone else can help you.

*sigh*
the thing is... this teacher does not teach... we had an assistant teacher through the school year and he is gone now.. this real teacher has no time for us, so doesnt help us much... we are not allowed to talk in class these days because its a final project and we'll get marks off if we do. the only graphics she taught us is to draw a line, a box, a maple leaf and an arc... nothing else.. so, i dont even no wat to do. like how do you make the "X" and "O" in that particular box? i have no idea how.

to draw a line do you have to go by X and Y? If yes just use a formula like:

y = 1x to make a diagnal line then use y= -1x to make one that goes the other way then you have an X. You'd have to do a bit more math to make it stop (otherwise it goes to infinity and you'll end up with a hell of a big X lol)

I seen some turing code and it seems to work that way so I assume if you just use a bit of basic math you could do it using lines, then set a width of like 3 or something to get a decent thickness. For a O it's a bit more complicated.... but there is a formula I remember learning in math, I just don't know what it is.

Scarry... I just realized some of the stuff I learn in math can be used in a real-life application.. ok I just about freaked myself out here.... *pops 2 advils*

lols... neways.. i no how to draw the "x" and "y".. i just dunno how to put it in the position i want it to..
i think its easier to just ask the user to specify which box they want but then it'll be better for my marks if i let the user click on the boxes... bt either way... how do i get them in that box? when i click.. the "x" or "y" appears on the screen but not even inside the boxes

That part I'm not sure, it's more of a GUI issue, you have to detect what position the cursor is pressing on and get this data and go from there.

Got me on this one, I'll ask my brother for help.

For others who are curious here is a start.

This will Help

Search for TIC-TAC-TOE

I'd make it for you but it costs 75 bucs for a compiler

OK so I had to try, besides red handles the newer stuff so I'll try the older stuff.
Here goes:

I still haven't eaten today, lol

The very last loop needs changed but I'm not sure what version you are using.
If you are using pre-4.0.5 then take out where it says "setscreen ("offscreenonly")"
Choose your MP3 in the begining and I recommend changing The last statement to
"The Computer wins... Oh well. one day you won't be such a looser" LOL

OK now I'm going to get some Food. :lol:

hi
m using turing for windows 4.0.4c.. i tried ur program bt then i havent modified them yet... so all that shows up is the box.. i just dont get how to put the x and o in the boxes..neways. thanks for all those who replied

this is wat i have so far.....
