    VBA-Based Mathematics Game

    Hi,

    I am looking for guidance on creating a certain VBA based mathematics game my old trading firm used to test interviewers.

    The first part of the game was strictly mutliplication. There was a timer input which allowed the user to input a time range and then there was 5 check boxes whether to include 1 digit, 2 digit, 3 digit, 4 digit and 5 digit numbers...the optionality was to choose one, some or all of the different number types. Then once those two options were chosen a new screen would pop-up that would auto-generate a multiplication problem and have an empty space to the right to input your answer. Input your answer, click enter and onto the next question. After the time period was over it would close the window and pop-up a review window which would simply show your score. For example, it may say 100% (10 out of 10)...

    The point of the game was to first choose how difficult the questions were (based on optionality to choose the digit count) and second to see how many questions each player could complete within the chosen time frame.

    I am very interested in learning VBA programming and am confident this would be a great first pet project provided its simplicity. Any guidance would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

    Re: VBA-Based Mathematics Game

    I would recommend a book. I have an older book by John Walkenbach that I learned from, which I am sure has been updated, and I am sure there are other good books. It would work you up to the type of program you describe. Alternatively, there are plenty of Excel VBA sites out there. Not to be flippant, but just look around, see what is available, and choose the method that matches how you best learn.
