Magic 8ball.

I know, I know, two posts within like an hour, but I really want someone to make this for me.

Basically it is a magic 8ball, where you ask a question, and it gives you a random answer like "Signs point to yes" or something.

I understand for the random answer it could be something like phrases{"blah","anotherone",} and math.random etc. from another guy, but if someone could put it together all nice for me that would be awesome ;)/>/>

Not tested, but I think this should work:

answer = {
"Maybe Later",
"Try Again",
"No",
"Yes"
--you can add more if you want.
}
while true do
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("						  Magic 8-Ball")
print("Please ask a question, and press enter!")
term.setCursorPos(1,9)
write("Question: ")
event, p1 = os.pullEvent("key")
  if p1 == "28" then
	print(answer[math.random(1,#answer)]) --Apparently you just need to fill out the answers now...
  end
end

Slight modification.

      print(answer[math.random(1, #answer)])  --Thus, you know longer NEED to know how many answers there are.

Did not know that…. Good to know!

I have just made this more awesome because you guys gave me inspiration. New code here:

answer = {
"It is Certain ",
" Decidedly So ",
"	  No	  ",
"	  Yes	 ",
"   No doubt   ",
"	 Never    ",
"    Unknown   ",
"  Ask again   ",
"   Doubtful   ",
" Most Likely  ",
"Cannot predict",
" Probably not ",
" Stars say no ",
"   For sure   ",
"   Why not?   ",
"	 Why?	 "
}

HOLY SHIZ DUDE. THANK YOU!

I love you all ;3

you could make that a whole lot smaller if u made a function for the

term.setCursorPos(1,7)
print("				    .----------------. ")
print("				   | .--------------. |")
print("				   | |					 | |")
print("				   | |					 | |")
print("				   | |					 | |")
print("				   | |					 | |")
print("				   | |					 | |")
print("				   | |					 | |")
print("				   | |					 | |")
print("				   | '--------------' |")
print("				    '----------------' ")

No he couldn't, you probably haven't noticed but each of the slots is designed to move.

It's quite good, but the screen needs a bit of alignment. Do you want a bit of help with calculating it so it aligns properly? (on the computer and the monitor)
I've actually been thinking about writing a graphics api for making ascii graphics easier, so it will help me test some of my theories.

Well it worked just fine when I created it in notepad++… Guess it didn't translate too well. I'll post a pastebin link soon.

The forums here really mess with code Badly where spacing and indents are concerned. I normally provide a Copy on the forums and pastbin to make shore.

Could someone give me a step by step on putting this on my computer? Server has that HTTP thing enabled, just don't know how to make it copy it onto computer as a program.

I don't know about the HTTP API, but you can go to pastebin, copy the code, and then paste it into a "blank" program you created in CC. Create the "blank" program by typing edit "name here", pressing CTRL, and then save, CTRL, and exit. Go to your minecraft folder, and find the folder for that computer you're at, and open up that new program with notepad. paste the code, and you're done!

Erm. I am playing on a server, which is why I needed help using codes to get it once HTTP is enabled ;)/>/>

Put this into your console Not in a program you can use Ctrl+V to past it in.

pastebin get RcM4ZPum 8ball

after that run 8ball
simple ha

Tested it out and it is awesome. But how do I exit? D:
