Hi, I am new to VB (and to programming in general). Anyway, I would like to create a simple game where the user is presented with a question (taken from a datafile, .dat) and given to choices, TRUE or FALSE, or/and YES or NO. I read somewhere that it would be "easier" to invoke such datafile with a function...but how do I do that?
Would greatly appreciate any help with this little project!!!
Thank you very much!

Hi, I am new to VB (and to programming in general). Anyway, I would like to create a simple game where the user is presented with a question (taken from a datafile, .dat or .txt) and given two choices, TRUE or FALSE, or/and YES or NO or if applicable he/she can enter the answer in a textbox, I read somewhere that it would be "easier" to invoke and read such datafile with a function...but how do I do that?
In the .dat or .txt file, how is the data typed?
as:
What is the Capital of France?
Paris
or
"What is the Capital of France?"
"Paris"
etcetera...
The questions (and the answers) -there would be many questions with their respective answers in the datafile-, need to be read from the file either in sequence or in a random fashion (I would love to know how to do it both ways though!). If feasible (as I think it is!), it would also be nice to add a sound clip for the right or wrong answer is given.
Would greatly appreciate any help with this little project!!!
Thank you very much!

Ooops! I did it again! (A la Britney Spears!)
...sorry...
I forgot to mention that I have both vb6 or vs2005...also, I know that I could work out a solution using a zillion IF loops or CASE SELECTs but I don't think that, programmatically, this is an elegant solution!!!
Thank You !

Is this data file of your own creation?
Hi!
Yes, I am planning on compiling a list of answers&questions, then use this file in that little game....of course, I am open to suggestions to ideas and solutions!
Thanks for replying!

Well you can create a data structure to store questions and answers. then you create an array of that structure. Then you save and open your array in binary format. That should be enough info for you to be googling for a couple of weeks. Good luck
