The following is not a true statement: 'Becuase Gambas is object oriented goto's aren't needed.'
I use Gambas in an OO way and sometimes GOTO is very clear and I use it. I also use GOTO when I control to go exactly someplace and (possibly) not test or run unnecessary code in-between. I also use GOTO in a soft-real-time (as real as can be). A whole bunch of GOTO's can be very confusing. OO does require planning though. ---------- Original Message ----------- From: jbskaggs <jbska...@skaggsworld.com> To: gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Wed, 15 Apr 2009 12:39:21 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: [Gambas-user] Writing a "Choose Your Own Adventure" prototype > That would be really easy in Gambas! > > > > Let me give you a step by step how to do one screen and you can then change > it or redo it how you like. > > step 1: > > create a form with a textbox, a picture box, and three buttons. > > Put your reading selection in the textbox, the image in the picture box and > the three options on the buttons > > so button1.text="Open door." > button2.text="Scream for help" > etc.. > > Now in your form editor double click one of the buttons and it will take you > to the code page and automatically create an event code: > > public sub button1_click() > > End > > Now between those two lines you would put your code to display a new page. > You have two options really: > > 1.
