You can add all questions to an array. Pick random record, display it and then delete it from the array.

thanks for reply.

can u explain how to display it then delete it from array? u face a beginner people

Then I suggest you start with tutorials, there are lots about using the arrays.

To add a question to array:

Array-> Push "Question text"

To pick a random index:

System -> set RandomIndexVariable to int(random(array.width))

To print picked question on the screen:

TextObject -> set text to array.At(RandomIndexVariable)

To delete this index from the array:

Array -> Delete index=RandomIndexVariable

I also highly recommend using Debug Mode (Ctrl-F4) - it will allow you to monitor the contents of the array, variables etc.

the link cant open <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" />

but my work its a little bit different.

for add question -> ajax -> request project file. the script file be marked with "|" for the next question. im using image content and no problem with it.

for pick random index -> array set value at index to trim(tokenat)AJAX.LastData,index,"|"))

for print question -> function -> Call "show" (0, trim(tokenat(Array.At(random_number),0,";"))

so how can i delete my question after the user answer it? <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" />

this is my reference for the program youtube.com/watch .

im very need your help bro because next week ill thesis defence <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarrassed" />

Scirra website is very slow, the link does work, just try again.

If you are reading the questions from AJAX, you need to load them all into the array first:

Array set size to X=0, Y=1, Z=1

For x=0 to (tokencount(AJAX.LastData, "|")-1) : array Push trim(tokenat(AJAX.LastData, loopindex, "|"))

Then pick a random index from the array:

System -> set RandomIndex to int(random(array.width))

Then print the question:

function -> Call "show" (array.At(RandomIndex))

Then delete this index from the array:

Array -> Delete index=RandomIndex

its work! but when i delete the random_number, it will be delete the question. not variable of random_number if i check on debug layout.

because the previous command, i use random_number for call the question like :

set -> random_number to round(random(TOTAL_QUESTION)).

then i delete it like :

Array -> Delete index (random_number) from X axis.

then i push back like :

push back random_number on X axis.

*random_number is global variabel

*total_question is contants global variabel = 30.

Sorry, I don't understand your problem.

My idea was to add all questions to an array, then remove them one by one. This is to ensure that each question is displayed only once.

i mean, my random function is in the (random_number).

and the random_number is set to (Array.width) where the array is filled question.

if i run on debug, the variable of random_number is like : 2 5 9 6 9 4 5 6 3 1...

it will be duplicate the question. so, im not random the Array.width in this condition.

how can i delete the variable of random_number after answer the question? like : 2 5 9 6 4 5 3 1...

If you remove the question from the array after displaying, you don't have to worry that the values in random_number can repeat!

Here is an example:

At first your array looks like this:

Index 0 - "What is your name?"

Index 1 - "What is your birth date?"

Index 2 - "Do you have a pet?"

Index 3 - "Do you like games?"

You generate random_number=floor(random(array.width)) and it's 2.

So you display the question from the array at index 2: "Do you have a pet?"

Then you delete the record with index 2 from the array.

After that your array contains these records:

Index 0 - "What is your name?"

Index 1 - "What is your birth date?"

Index 2 - "Do you like games?"

Then you generate random_number again and the result is 2 again!

But it's not a problem , because this time the question at index 2 in the array is different! Now it's "Do you like games?"

And then you remove the question with index 2 and can repeat this until you have no questions left in the array.

Do you see what I mean?

I GOT IT!

the array will be deleted. example : my total question is 30. then if i answer 10 question, the array will be 20 question left. but the problem is the random function on random_number. it still 30 random function on 20 question. the causes will be another question where not displayed.

example :

array = (1-10) 2 6 8 4 5

random_number(random function)= 2 6 8 4 5 (8) (2) 10 (8)

*the number of "()" its not displayed question.

how can i deleted the random funtion too?

I don't understand what you are trying to say, sorry.

Can you share your capx?

of course.

link on : 4shared.com/file/MXaJketbfi ... ANGAN.html

u just klik play -> sulit -> and the question will be displayed after u click it.

u can check on debug mode and se random_number3 and the array for the problem.

sorry i cant write the link cause reputation problem. can i know ur email?
