ok, so i just started programing, and im really enjoying it. to solidify some of the text things ive learned, im trying to make a cryptogram game. the biggest problem i have is trying to get the displayed text to change in the program ex. (21,10,1) is whats displayed but after some user input the numbers will change to letters (t,h,e). any help would be greatly appreciated

Quote: "inkey$(A) as integer = 1
inkey$(B) as integer = 2

if userinput = "1"
firstchar$ = "A"
endif"

Get the idea?

Remember you will have to do the same for "a" as well as "A"

This should point you in the right direction...

Remember you can store the conversions in some form of Array or such... even a text file...

Remember you will have to ask for each character input from the user then parze them individually...

Hope this helps...
