Hi, what it is I'm tryign to do a text-based RPG before i try to do one with graphics and i need some help with a problem. I asked a simple yes/no question in the game and i done it so that if you answer with "Yes" it says something and if you answer it with anything else it says something different. Now because its case sensitive if somebody says "yes" without a capital Y it would say the other sentence. Please help because i've understood what i've done so far with passwords but this is really bugging me and ill end up kicking myself if i find its something easy. Also could anyone give me tips on the sort of things to include in text-based RPGs? Thanks to any replys.

Suggest you use LOWER$ to convert typed answer into lowercase and then compare it to "yes". This means user can type YES, yes or Yes and get same answer


Boo!

Sorry but i don't know understand what you just put when you said "compare it to yes". And i don't understand where you'd type in LOWER$. I know im a nuisance, i've given the code im using could you please alter it and include what you just said i should do? That would be a giant help. Thanks

Simply change one line of you code to this



what this does is compare the lowercase version of what user types to string provided ("yes"). I have also added another comparison to just 'y'. This is in case someone types 'Y' or 'y' instead of 'yes' or 'YES' or even 'Yes'
