code problem

SydneySykkness (guest) 25 Aug 2016 03:28

I'm developing a basic program consisting of menus and random integers to convert different tables from the Dungeons and Dragons DM's guide to my calculator so i wont have to crackout dice to do what i need. This program consists of the random dungeon tables, treasure tables, a general encounter generator im building, and random item generation.

I am currently writing the code for the first dungeon building generator which only consists of pulling up one of ten starting areas. However, 2 problems arise.
A. Only one possibility pops up
B. That one possibility doesnt display right. The first output doesnt display and the other 3 outputs do show up

Here is the code. I wont display the whole thing, but just enough so you get the jist of it

Lbl II
randInt(1,10)➡Y
If Y=1
Output(1,1,"Square room,
Output(2,1,"20 x 20 ft. with
Output(3,1,"a passage on
Output(4,1,"each wall."
Pause
ClrHome
Goto GG (this is the previous menu)
ElseIf Y=2

And the rest of the code goes on like that for all ten possibilities of starting areas.
Now I know that output doesnt need to be displayed like that, however, it didnt display anything even when the words were spaced out. Any idea what could help?

If you are using any commands relating to the graphscreen, some of these may cause the Y variable to reset, this could be causing only one of the possibilities to occur. While it is possible to continue using the Y variable with some clever techniques, I would strongly recommend that you simply use a different variable instead.

This may simply be a typo, but a "Then" and an "End" is required after an "If" statement if you intend to include more than the next line.
Check out the the command index for proper usage of If, Then, and Else statements.

There may be some other factors causing your problem that remain unseen, seeing the program in its entirety could improve our ability to help you if needed.
