Can anyone help me program a game in Opus6?
I need a 'Simon Says' game. Has anyone got any code that can help me?

How Simon Says works:
There are four 'lights' that flash in a random sequence that require the user to copy the sequence before the next random light is added to the sequence.

So for example:

-Red, green, yellow and blue lights are shown off
-The red light flashes
-The user hits red
-The red light flashes then the yellow light flashes
-The user must hit red then yellow or the game is reset
and so it carries on.

A sound is made when the light flashes and a score is kept on the screen to show which level they are on.

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

I'm sure Opus can do this, I just don't know how. I think it needs lots of arrays, but I'm not sure how to set them up.

Anyone?

Have you achieved anything at all, or would you like us to start from a blank canvas? If you have, please consider posting the .IMP file to help us understand exactly what you want.

How do you want to determine the elapsed time between the end of Random Sequence A, and the start of Random Sequence B?

Also, please go into your ptofile (top of page) and in the Signature section, at the very least, add details of your hardware, OS, and version of of Opus. Like I have done. That info is of great

Take a look at this URL:
http://javascript.internet.com/games/simon-says.html

It's a JavaScript version of a Simon game. You can study how they set it up and then see if you can translate it to the Opus world.

if nothing else, you can copy it and create an HTML file and then display that in a browser object in your Opus publication.

Actually I'd think that this could be quite a simple game.

Have an incrementing counter from 1 - 8

Have a randomised array that is filled with your colours. The number of array elements being linked to the counter.

Display the elements from the array.

Check user input against the array.

Increment counter by one and repeat.

Mack.

Thank you for your help.

I had a go, but could do with some help.

I want to keep my end design a secret so I based it on a design found on this site - I hope you don't mind
:wink:

What do you think?
