An outline of an idea for a game/program
I was just wondering if it is possible to take the text from a dynamic or input text box and sort of export it as a new file, like a .txt or .doc (Word) file. If not, maybe an image file? I want to know because I am creating a sort of "virtual schoolbook" where the "computer" generates, say, math problems, checks them then perhaps gives the user a score or grade. (Haven't really started yet ^_^;;, it's just a concept.) Then the end result they either print out or have as some kind of reference (a file).
Also, is it possible for flash to store previous data (a sort of "Enter your name and we'll record everything" system) then recall it afterwards? Basically like this site here (or any other with a login system). If so, how does it do it? (Might seem like a stupid question, but I mean, where does it store it? In the .swf file? A separate database? NASA? ;D)
I just realised how over my head this is... *back to tutorial
For Dummies books borrowed from the library*
If I'm making any sense at all, please explain things to me.
Oh, this would be the basic system ("Ha! Basic, yeah right..." I hear you say). It is supposed to be a school program or something.
English
Generates spelling, punctutation, etc multiple or input text questions. Checks answers then marks and gives a score.
Math
Generates math questions, multiple choice and input (maybe give working out space with either input text box or area that uses the mouse to draw). Checks, marks, reports.
Science*
might not do this
Science multiple choice and diagrammatic questions (ie heart with separate button areas, will ask which is the pulmonary artery or something) will check, mark, report.
Art
What? Art is a subject! ^_^ Free drawing or something that prints. Colouring in??
(seems a bit grade school-ish, but eh. I'll make it a cool picture or something) Incidentally, can you give the user the ability to draw squares and the like? (Their very own rectangle tool!)
PE
It'll tell them to do pushups. I'm just kidding. Who actually would do what a screen told them to do? *starts getting brainwashed by the TV* My master I serve...
IPT (Computer Studies)
Eh, I don't know. *running out of ideas* Tell them to play pinball on the computer or something. Ideas anyone?
If anyone has any ideas for other school-ish subjects I'd like to hear them!
