Test Thy Knowledge!

Or at least my game. I whipped this little baby up in VB for a Business project. Try it and tell me what you think.

9 out of 11 Einstein level first try! w00t!!

OK, seriously, I\'m highly medicated and guessing. How did that happen?!

[Wedge]

Ummm yeah it should stop asking the same questions over and over.  And instead of a time limit you should make it like space invaders, so you have to answer the questions right to destroy the invaders.  They slowly move down, and getting one wrong causes a temporal boost or something...  Hee hee I like to make everything into a game.

Hey Jedi, I found a bug  

Guess it pays to have some experienced programmers arouned here, eh?

\"Run-time error \'6\': Overflow\"

And guess what?  I knew exactly how to make that come up.  Let\'s just say, dividing by zero ain\'t exactly a good thing  

Ok ok, I\'ll tell you.  If you don\'t answer a single question before the time runs out (EDIT: or if you use the \"I quit\" button), your program tried to calculate your percentage (correct_questions/total_questions) and since I haven\'t answered any questions, you get a \"Divide by zero: Overflow.\"

So just throw a handly little statement in there like:


If total_questions = 0 Then
....MsgBox (\"OMFG you\'re such a stupid idiot!  You couldn\'t answer a single question!!!\" )
Else
....\'Normal message box here
End If


Or...something along those lines  

[Jedi]

Wow, thanks a lot, Xan! I\'ll get right on that. *goes away muttering, \"There will ALWAYS be bugs\"*

[Yarulion]

To quote a linux programmer and a good friend of mine:

\"If it works perfectly well it hasn\'t got enough features yet\"

[sashok]

nice little prog.

you should either assign your questions some variables that would increment when the question is asked, and then check if the question was already asked, or maybe when asking random questions get rid of the questions that were already asked. but then there won\'t be enough questions

how many is there btw?

[Xordan]

lol, nice. Only thing is that if u hold the mouse button for 2 long it clicks on the next question as well.

10/14 on Einstein first try.  Not bad.

[Jedi]

Grrr...will people stop bugging me about repeated questions! It\'s a DRILLING program! Read the instructions! D*R*I*L*L*I*N*G!

There are 205 questions. Depending on your chosen difficulty, you will only be asked a certain number of them. Easy, 100. Medium, 150. Hard, 205. Einstein, 205.

Fixed the Overflow error. Re-download it and test it. You\'ll be pleasantly insulted - er, surprised.

I scored a 4 out of 149.
2.68%
God your app makes me feel stupid.  

[Jedi]

That\'s the idea. You play it enough and you learn.

[dorbian]

btw the answer to the question ip is wrong it is internet protocol,
pentium a compuer company <-- wrong answer but u made a typo
eprom = electronicly programmable read only memory
also needs to be fixed, there is one more that is incorrect but the question doesn\'t wanna come to me anymore

[Jedi]

Hey, I got my answers from a \'How Computers Work\" book. If it\'s wrong it\'s not my fault. I\'ll fix it, though. Thanks for the typo note.
