SMLR

Hello to all!

It would be great if some of you had information regrading the following:

I want to create a program which arbitrarily combines objects from different databases and shows them.

The concrete purpose for this would be to get combinations of names and faces and of events and dates.
I need this to train for memory competitions.

It would be necessary that the combinations are shown for an adjustable amount of time, that they then vanish and reappear with some parts missing (e. g. only the faces, only the dates) and in rearranged order with fields to fill out.
It would also be necessary that no object from certain databases (e. g. the faces) are used twice in the same run.

This would be my basic goal. One step further would be a way to countercheck the given answers with the original combinations on a point basis.

How much work would that be for me (Basically the main thing is the arbitrary combination, I already have the object databases) ?

Any help and information is highly appreciated.

Bye,

Simon

No, it would take too long AND I would know (or had already seen) the combinations. So the purpose (training of mnemotechnics) could not be reached.

But for real:
Is there no easy way to program this?

um i'm totally not seeing why this would be hard at all? rand(1-numberofrecords) = index number? concate the index numbers into a string or an array to check that they arent used again? Am I missing a reason this would be hard?
