math problem

in Working with GS (PC)

How would you make just a simple addition problem in GS. For example a input box that they put a number in and another one and it displays the answer. It can be addition, multiplication, etc.

    so you want a calculator?

    well have 3 attributes X + Y = Z.

    Logic:
    X = keyboard input
    Y = second keyboard input
    Z = x + y

    Then in an actor, display Z's value when a button is pressed.

    You wouldn't really need an attribute for 'z', you could just display x+y.

    @jsorr2 sorry, could you elaborate - kind of confused, thanks.

    @Socks‌ how would you just display?

    Use the Display Text behaviour.

    First, thanks for the help.

    It says "Unsupported file format. The file is newer than this version of Creator."

    I have 10.5 installed for PC.

    Maybe this will help:

    You need two variables to store info. The input just doesn't float around in there.

    So here is a simple function using two game level attributes. One called x and one called y

    Actor 1
    When touch is pressed

    Keyboard input to X

    Actor 2
    When touch is pressed

    Keyboard input to Y

    Actor 3

    Display text

    Game.x +game.y

    That's it.

    @RThurman‌

    That is exactly what I am looking for, however how do you make it not rand generate, looks for when the box is touched, the user can input a number.

    Thanks guys for the help.

    Replace the "Change Attribute" action with a "Keyboard Input" action.

  • erkjerkerkjerk Member Posts: 41

    @RThurman‌

    so put the game.a under the "change the ffollowing attribute" ? Or under "which prompts user with"?

    Thanks for the help appreciate it

  • RThurmanRThurman Member, Sous Chef, PRO Posts: 2,880

    Yes, game.a is the attribute.

    You can type any thing you want into the "prompt" section. For example you could type, "Enter a number between 1 and 100."
