C++ with SDL version. :)

 SDL_Event event; SDL_Rect square; square.x = 1; square.y = 1; square.w = event.button.x - square.x;c square.h = event.button.y - square.y; while (isRunning) { while (SDL_PollEvent(&event)) { if (event.type == SDL_MOUSEMOTION) { square.w = event.button.x - square.x; square.h = event.button.y - square.y; } } SDL_FillRect(screen, &square, SDL_MapRGB(screen->format, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)); }

I didn't but mine hasn't passed yet. Don't think you need to as says resize box not sprite.

Do you use a sprite?

Here is a bit more advanced one (although still basic!).

 x# = getScreenWidth() / 2 y# = getScreenHeight() / 2 Box x#, y#, rnd(getScreenWidth()), rnd(getScreenHeight()), 1 Sync Do If enterKey() = True Cls 0 Box x#, y#, MouseX(), MouseY(), 1 Sync EndIf Loop

Does this count?? (PlayBasic)

 Do Cls 0 Box 0, 0, MouseX(), MouseY(), 1 Sync Loop

Two thumbs up over here for TMan7997 !! That's the spirit, that's the kind of stuff I like seeing !!

Very good job ! (Erm… Psst, does it work? :P)

Hey, neat idea. Code looks nice and clean. Sadly i am not able to try basic4gl (unless *nix version havent popped out) but i might port this to some multiplatform dialect.
If you do this at age 12, then im waiting with high hopes, what you can do when youre in my age.

Im very new and im very young (12) but againsed all odds I did it!!!!!!!!!

You are faced with a near impossible challenge. You have to get through 100 sets of doors whithout making a single mistake. If you pick a wrong door, you will lose. The only twist is that every time you get a correct door the number of doors goes up by one. Good luck.

 dim numberofdoors, correctdoor, correct, choice, restart = 1 while restart = 1 numberofdoors = 2 correct = 1 restart = 1 while correct = 1 if numberofdoors - 1 = 100 then cls color(0,0,225) printr "Congradulations!!!!! YOU WIN!!!!!! You are incredibly luckey!" Printr "Press esc to exit." gosub exit endif cls correctdoor = rnd() % numberofdoors + 1 print "Level: " printr numberofdoors - 1 print "Pick a door # between 1 and " print numberofdoors print ". 1 and " printr numberofdoors printr "are included." input "Your choice: "; choice if not choice = correctdoor then correct = 0 endif numberofdoors = numberofdoors + 1 wend cls color (225,0,0) print "Sorry, you picked the wrong door. Your score was " print numberofdoors - 2 printr"." input "Play again? (Yes = 1, No = 2): "; restart color(225,225,225) wend cls printr "Press esc." end exit:

The game is origanal. You may notice it is very bloated coad.

tja… the thing about gamemaker is that there isn't much code. But if you have all the solution in one piece of code you should post that. If not, then just post the gamemaker project :)

oh…do we need to ost the code? Or can we post a link to the .zip files?

I haven't tried it but here is a c++ example that should work. It is a bit bloated but that is also because it has error control :)

 #include  #include  // file stream #include  using namespace std; int main( int argCount, char** args ) { // Writing to file { ofstream file; file.open( "test.txt", ios::out ); if ( !file.is_open() ) { cout << "failed to open file for writing" << endl; return -1; } file << "Hello world" << endl; file.close(); } // Reading from file { ifstream file; file.open( "test.txt", ios::in ); if ( !file.is_open() ) { cout << "failed to open file for reading" << endl; return -2; } cout << "The content of the file is:" << endl; string line; while ( !file.eof() ) { getline( file, line ); cout << line << endl; } file.close(); } return 0; }

I'll use GML, can I have it save the arrangement of room tiles? or would that fall outside of the challange?

 ' FB code dim temp as string = "Hello World" print "Writing variable on file..." open "test.txt" for output as #1 print #1, temp close #1 print "Reading variable from file..." open "test.txt" for input as #1 line input #1, temp close #1 print "Game over..." end

u9: I see the "play the attacker" concept mentioned by everyone.

(Heh…) I did pitch it to the "Starquest Entertainment" too; they didn't like it :P — I haven't fully understood what the objections were (and didn't care much developing it any further). But, who else?! I'm curious, because, if you say there are many others, then we might see a rising popular demand, thus an opportunity… ;-)

I see the "play the attacker" concept mentioned by everyone. I too think it might be cool… not bump-your-head-on-the-toilet cool, for that i am going to need a detailed description or prototype :) Remember, ideas are a dime a dozen. I would love to see how it works.

Go for it guys… myself, i have something completely different in mind (inspired by hartnell), but i have to make a prototype to see how it will work (if at all).

Yeah, cmBasic does not require line numbers, and if no such a thing, it works just like modern dialects, moves on by modularity. Didnt thought that when i posted code.

I removed the REMs, it works fine now.

This is a mindboggling brain-fuck of guess the number game.

My brain hurts. Need coffee to continue.

I tried that already. I got the strangest error :

Error:duplicate line 2 in file.

Yup, I'm retarded. How do I get smarter? :)
