hi i am going to make a quiz game and i have a question... how would you make each question come up randomly??
all help appreciated

You would use rand. Just say you have a data base of questions, maybe held by an array. On the event that pulls up questions, it would do something like this.

Code: Select all

int randomQ = rand(2);
switch(randomQ)
{
    case 0:
    strcpy(textActor.text, "Question number one is?");
    break;

    case 1:
    strcpy(textActor.text, "Does this make sense?");
    break;
}

It may differ, but this is the general idea. So you know, rand picks a random number from zero to the int one less than the number, so in this case 0 or 1. Since it can be only two possibilities, I have two cases in the switch statement, but you would have more, one for each question.

ty..

PS: do you sit on the computer all day just to answer all of my questions??

keep up the good work

There is one inbuilt function in VB.net named Random. With the help of the Random Function, each time a random number is selected from the list of numbers.
