can anyone help a damsel in distress????
Calling all programmers for helllllllllllllllppppp!!! i am currently doing a uni degree and our lecturers have set us the task of making a game in JavaScript.
i chose to do a hangman game and have completed the actual game. I have recently been in hospital as I am disabled and so have not been in the lessons where my lecturers have been teaching us how to create scoring and incorporating different difficulty levels into the game. it is now the holiday and my assignment is due in when we go back after the spring break. i have created my game however i was wondering if you would be able to help me and perhaps advise me how i may go about adding scoring and levels to my game. This would be greatly appreciated if you were able to do so. Please email back as soon as possible, your help would make a huge difference. From Jude here is the main code so far: This is the main code which is in the left frame <html>

Quite a beast. Consider wrapping your code in [ code ] tags (sans the space).
As for scoring/levels, just keep track of these levels in cookies or the like. For scoring (keeping track of data persistently) you can communicate with a server-side script via XmlHTTPRequest. Good luck Last edited by Cerulean; Apr 7th, 2005 at 3:11 PM. |

Berto, at least be constructive or humourous if you're going to post anything.

It all depends on how you want to score it and such...
