Hi all, i have managed to create a basic random lottery number game where the player inputs 5 numbers and must then compare his with 5 randomnly generated numbers, its not totally finished anyway but i have it working and have found there to be a problem, when the final compare numbers screen comes on, no matter what number the user inputs it always seems to appear as zero's, does anyone know why this is, check the code and see if u know. Thankyou you muchly in advance.

also to help me finish the program how would i get the computer to check if any of your numbers are the same as their random ones and if they are then print a message to the screen. I was thinking about making it into a little betting game where if you get one number right then your money gets 1 added to it, and if you get two right then 2 is added etc,etc could anyone possibly give some help or guidlines as to how i could do this part ?thanx again

You could do something like this:


I'm not sure if I got the syntax right but you should get the idea.

Also, move the lines:

playernum(1,1)=a
playernum(1,2)=b
playernum(1,3)=c
playernum(1,4)=d
playernum(1,5)=e

after gosub startscreen

This will mean the array gets updated properly with user inputted numbers.

You were updating array before numbers are even entered!

put following line at top:

randomize timer()

this gives you different numbers each time.

Also you are getting '0' as a lottery number. Remember RND(X) gives you a number between 0 and X. So if you want a number between 1 and 49 (UK lottery), you need RND(48)+1

Okay im sorry i was wrong, there is one more thing i wud really like to know, in the subroutine check, it only checks to see if all the numbers are correct, i would like to know how to get each individual player number checked with each computer number, and perhaps if 1 number is correct with one of the comp numbers then money=money+1 or if all are wrong money=money-1, the check system cannot work at the moment because it is almost impossible to guess all 5 numbers in the right order first time, thanx !

So that it does another check loop:
