Hi everyone,
In my project, I have to allow user(with no programming skills) to create his DS game which is of type (multiple choice questions, and Hot spots selection)
of course, the question must appear in the top screen and the multiple choices or a picture with hot spots should appear in the bottom screen (I know how to create these types of games with .nds extension using PAlib and VC++.)

using Visual basic, I created a simple interface to allow the user to add the questions with 4 choices for each question as inputs.
now, I want my program to be able to use these inputs in creating the DS game. It means that I want to generate a DS game from user's input. user's input will be the text of the question and the text for each choice with correct choice being specified. And the output will be a .nds file taht when someone execute it, he can answer the question and then see the result for his answer.
It is like I want to program something like DS Game Maker but with very simple functionalities and an interface that is suitable for non-skilled users.
(I want to solve the issue with multiple choice questions first, then move to hot spot)

does anyone have an idea how to do this?
is it useful to write user's input in a text file?

I will be very thankful to you ...

Err, wrong forum?

This was in the libogc forum which is for Wii development, not NDS development....

This board is mainly for support using the toolchains and supplied libraries. Your question is pretty much out of scope for us and we don't support PALib users, sorry.

putting the questions and anwsers in a text file of some sorts and having just one nds file read from those text files is alot easier than creating different nds files. easier for you, the people making the questions and the people playing the game.

sorry, I couldn't understand what you mean by "one nds file read from those text files ".. I want the user to be able to create so many nds files as he wants..
it is like I will create this program for a teacher who wanna use it to create worksheets or assessment sheets and send these nds sheets to the students' DSs later.

any clue?

letting the user create nds files isn't easy to do. its much easier for them if the nds file was already created and they only have to put the questions and anwsers in a text file.

Many Thanks, vuurrobin
but I really confused =$.. do u mean that it is only one nds file that is updated everytime a teacher uses my program and enters questions?

I apologize if I disturb u but I really need a help to accomplish this task.. so, I will clarify the idea

when the teacher choose to create a new sheet, he will see 5 text boxes, the first for the question and the rest are to type the multiple choices.
the correct choice is specified in someway.
(my program written in VB)
when he clicks "save" button, I want an nds file that will be sent later to students' DSs to be generated,, browsing window will appear to locate the position for saving this nds file.

I already know how to create such nds files using PAlib and VC++, but what i still dunno, is how to generate an nds file from my program like what DS Game Maker does..

best regards
