Edit: Just discovered my own issues with the no-clicks bug... hope this gets fixed.

Oh, the 80's that makes sense.
I'm more into 70's and modern rock.

Looks Good!

Problem with my 80, whenever i try to click the center button to choose my selection, it wont click! I have to click on it about 5 times for it to register.

A lot of us are having this problem.
The coder is working on a fix for this now.

hmm, i found a glitch

i let the timer run out for one of the questions and it showed up correct answer: (song) and everytime i hit the button it gave me the answer for the next song. even going to the menu and back again didn't fix it, but exiting the game does at least

Same thing here. For me if i click the center button a couple of times it seems to jump back into it.

Also i like the game. But id really like it to have "guess who the artist is" and "guess which album this is on"

I also think that i read other post saying about ignoreing comic songs. I have some dane cook and i dont want that to play if possible.

Another thing. Like the other thread about music quiz. Im not sure if this is ignoring unknown artists or unknown titles but it should if it isnt.

besides that its looking good so far

Unfortunately, I dont have time today or tomarrow, finals, to update the game, all I had time for today was to create the input debugger.

I hope to have updates, as I really appreciate all of teh suggestions, just finals absorbs (amobea style) all of my free time.

I hope to have an update friday or saturday, taking into accout all of your great suggestions

And I also updated my first post, with information I forgot

[timeispassing]

This game sounds really great! I can't wait to see the updates. Keep up the good work!!

Check Post #55, like 4 post down for this fix.

this should fix the chance of the same song showing up twice in the list of choices. just put this in where his setSongOption block is.

    MediaPlayer.Resume();
    MediaPlayer.Play(correctSong);
    correctAnswer = random;
    //roundTime = new TimeSpan();
    loadedSongs = true;
}

Kk, I'll try it out.

Edit: Error: The Name 'randsongtitle' does not exist in the current context

[ShotgunSnipist]

Well, I ran your debug program,
everything worked perfectly.
No lag, correct buttons. Everything.
But the game still lags...

[shutout5591]

Hmm, thats rather odd. Im working on the new version, but I dont think it will be done by tonight

Changes:
Random start position
No duplicate songs on menu, at least not the correct song

Any other suggestions?

[ShotgunSnipist]

Just an idea.
But what if you gave people like 30 seconds to answer and the faster they get it the more points they would get?

[Mitch]

void setSongOptions()
{
    MediaPlayer.Pause();
    
    //Chose correct song and play it
    string randSongTitle;
    int random = RandomHelper.GetRandomInt(4);
    int randomSongIndex = RandomHelper.GetRandomInt(songCount);
    correctSong = mediaLibrary.Songs[randomSongIndex];

    //Fill list
    for (int count = 0; count < 4; count++)
    {
        randSongTitle = mediaLibrary.Songs[RandomHelper.GetRandomInt(songCount)].Name;
        while (randSongTitle == correctSong.Name)
            randSongTitle = mediaLibrary.Songs[RandomHelper.GetRandomInt(songCount)].Name;
        songTitles[count] = randSongTitle;
    }

    songTitles[random] = mediaLibrary.Songs[randomSongIndex].Name;

    MediaPlayer.Resume();
    MediaPlayer.Play(correctSong);
    correctAnswer = random;
    //roundTime = new TimeSpan();
    loadedSongs = true;
}

this should work now until shutout can pushout a good fix

[Soccerfreak24]

^^ KK, redeploying.. and it's error free now.

[thorst]

Im trying to learn how to do this programming, however, i primarily use vb.net so im not the best at c#.

Could you possibly comment your code...like, alot, so that i can understand everything your doing.


Your couple min. you invest there might help me and other people get started on our own apps.

Thanks

<concur>i've experienced the same problems... just lag that seems unnecessary. i mean, c'mon, this shouldn't use up any more ram than it does to play songs normally on the zune</concur>

[edit: okay, so apparently i should've read further into the thread and said errors have been acknowledged and fixed?]

haha, its a lot harder to develope game sthan your giving credit to. I have yet to experience any lag or any problems (except the one where u loose the next around after getting 1 round wrong). Ive said many times, I am working on an update due out friday or saturday that should clean up the code, and fix the lag error and the game loose error.

please be patient, games dont write themselves
