What type of game are you wanting to make? Counting, guessing, etc...? Need more info to help.

Hi Sorry

One which asks pre set questions the user then inputs what they think is the answer and the computer ten provides a
right or wrong answer

What is your level of programming skill? I mean, quickly, I would just say:

Output a question,
read in the answer
check the answer

and repeat five times.

This can differ in complexity as much as you want it to - from selecting questions randomly from a file or database so there is less repetition and comparing against strings of answers and keywords - to asking the same five questions, looking for numerical input for the easiest checking.

It sounds like you need to create a better concept of how you want this game to be played (and then fit that to whatever timeline you need the program done by).

Output a question,
read in the answer
check the answer

Exactly that,

My level of programing Lower than novice im afraid, Just started but having a bad time with it

cout your question
cin your answer
check the answer (if statement)
repeat 5 times

If you're not sure what cout and cin means, check out thescripts' C++ tutorial:

I thought this was a java question. An interesting question I'd have to say.

That would present a slight problem, wouldn't it? Sorry, forgot which forum I was in :( .

Here's Sun's Java tutorial....

If you are a novice, then use a switch together with Math.random().
Here is the framework

 while(user still wants to answer) { 
 
		 int choice = (int)(Math.random()*5);[indent]switch(chioce) {
   case 1: {
	  logic of question 1
	 ask if user still wants to answer
   }
   case n: {
	  logic of question n
	 ask if user still wants to answer
   }
}
[/indent]}

Should be interesting to try out this first before you try to mess it up a little.
