powerpoint game life tracker
hey guys, so im working on a project for school that uses powerpoint in a way other than just for presentations. i decided to go with a game approach. if you are familiar with the idiot test game, my project is similar to that. to finalize my project and make it stand out id like to incorporate a 3 lives counter. i have a total of 36 slides with 4 checkpoints throughout the game. On each slide the user has to make the right choice to answer the question or complete the objective. each time the user picks the wrong choice the macro will get triggered and and decrement the counter from 3 and then change the current slide to the default "sorry you are wrong" slide. i have no clue how to do this. im new to VB so take it easy on me. i know i currently have the number of lives displaying in a message box but in the final copy id like it to be put into each slide and then on game over send it to a different slide.
Objectives:
- incorporate lives(counter) into presentation
- redirect to appropriate checkpoint slide
- redirect to game over slide when all 3 lives have been used

this is all the code i have but it isnt working. i know the code isnt exactly what i want to do but i followed another site to get this far and this code was the only thing to get remotely close to what i wanted to do. My professor isnt familiar with how it can work but is willing to boost my grade if i can get it working. I am using powerpoint 2010 on my personal computer and 2007 at school.
thank you all for your help in advance.
