This is my very first project, and I’m coming at this completely new-no coding experience whatsoever! I ended up bashing my head into this challenge until I got fairly close to a solution. The biggest issue I had was when I would go into either level 1 or 2, it would not only display the anagram to solve, but also two instances of my “failure” message. Even if I entered the correct answer, I would get one “success” message and one “failure” message. Additionally, whenever I would go back to the main menu, it would now display the regular menu plus two “failure” messages. I spoke to some friends and they steered me in the right direction. Firstly, I added some new cases to my enum to coincide with my levels 1 and 2, for clarity. Next, I added some new cases to my OnUserInput function to properly detect what screen the player was on. I was apparently getting the responses from multiple levels and scenarios to show at the same time. Finally, I had to change two instances of currentScreen from Password (redundant and pointed to the wrong thing) to the new parts of my enum, Level1 and Level2. Very challenging, but incredibly rewarding to have done it my way and then being able to compare it to the provided example from Ben. I went a bit further and made the screen clear at certain points so it would look neater for the player. At the end, I took some time to clean up the readability of the code by moving things around and deleting extra spacing. I’ve attached my code below (the spacing looks fine in VS and the game, I swear!) and I’d be happy to share the finished .exe file for the playable game if anyone is interested to see how my version worked in the end. Also, if anyone has any tips or suggestions on how to make this code more concise etc, please let me know!
edit: After moving on to the next lesson about arrays, I realize this code only works for one password per level.
