    Who Want's to be a... Billionaire...?
    « on: December 10, 2008, 07:39:12 PM »
    Yes I meant to put Billionaire. I got *extremely* bored recently... Popped open VB08... And saw what came out.

    Yes, this is inspired by the TV show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire"© and credit for the idea goes to them. I don't plan to sell this, and, I repeat, I just got bored. SO TAKE THAT LAWYERS!!

    Heh. Couldn't resist. ^.^

    So to the real reason your reading this:

    I made a game where you can play through up-to 15 questions to see if you win the big 1 - 000 - 000 - 000

    and once your done, you can load a different .txt file, and have the fun all over!

    But, what if you've played all the one's your friends have sent you?

    And you want to return the favor?

    Simple. Just open a new text document. Set up the text file like this.
    Code: [Select]
    #1: Introduction Question
    #2: Your first question
    #3: First question's A answer
    #4: First question's B answer
    #5: First question's C answer
    #6: First question's D answer
    #7: THE LETTER OF THE CORRECT ANSWER
    #8: The first question's Subject TYPE
    #9: Repeat 2-8 with different questions/answers.
    and don't put the #3: or whatever.

    Say you get to question 4.. then you can't think of anything more.. just put "end" in the next question's "question" section.

    Also -- "end" and the letter of the correct answer are both case sensitive.

    Well -- You ready to have fun? here ch'a go.

    Please mention any bugs, glitches, and suggestions.

    Special thanks to Kaelan.

    Thanks for your time,
    Artimis.

      Quite a fun little game and a nice way to kill some time. Ease of customization is nice too.

      I personally don't trust it.  Why does it need to connect to the internet to download files?  Doesn't sound like that complex of a program to me.  And who exactly is it connecting to?

      Hmm, I tried running it in a sandboxed environment, but it stopped responding.  You feel like giving it a shot, Carbon?  (Despite your previous response...  Heh.)
