Oops, did you mean to take turns?

I took a regular game and Java-scripted it.

If you see weird buttons, it's a demo, not a game.

You're lucky you got a new page since the IDs clash with the previous page.

That's why I put it in your MAILBOX!

And you already said you didn't like jigsaws.

I learned that I cannot run your code, but you can run mine since you are owner.

Mike will not be able to work the demos!!!

I cannot reset  your post, but any reset will do all of my posts on the page

Oh, I see, said the blind man.

Was wondering why you put it in my mailbox.

Now I know!

Interesting.

Mike could run demos if he knew how to change all the IDs.

He could run them on his desktop without that if he knew about copying to BLANK.TXT and HTML.

Those are neat, Dave!

What happened to V9?

Here's the code for V8

Please check if you can follow it.

Read down the code SLOWLY.

The IDs are the key.

Their TDs are put into LISTS

The Lists are lit up by FOR

The colors are randomized

The thing keeps running by setInterval(doLoops, 150);

Now we get to the brains of it

I count how many loops it does.

I do an all-black at the top of every loop

I look for the count and trigger off a certain list of lights.with each one ... if count is 2 then

light up L3 list ... n.style.background=myColor;     one-by-one ... n=L3[i];  ... very fast.

               if (count==2){for (i=0;i<L3.length;i++){n=L3[i];n.style.background=myColor;}}

I reset the count to 0 and change color at 4 ...if (count==4){count=0;myRand();}

Homework:

Cococt a Javascript way to turn 0.876501 and 0.812373 into 8.

You can look for help online.

You can use them as

var n=0.876501 and

var m=0.812373

The answer routines can be in

var eight_n; and

var eight_m;

I wouldn't know where to even start.  Sorry Dave.

How about multiplying by 10 and dropping the decimal places.

Javascript drop decimal places

EDIT:

===============================

===============================

<a href="javascript:

var n = 0.876501;

var eight_n = Math.floor(10 * n);

alert('answer=' + eight_n);

===============================

Joe:

Write a similar program for m using trunc.

Note: Math is the page all the math functions are on inside JS, so we have to specify it to get the function to work.

Substitute new number and command for crossed out parts.

Run it in your work area to check it.

If you don't remember how to run it, I will go through all that stuff again.

In fact, WRITE it in your work area in Notepad to start with. Save as HTM.

I wrote it in Notepad.  Would only save it as a .txt file.  I don't know wth I'm doing, anyway.

Copy the code into here and run it.

"SAVE AS" fudpucker.htm should have done it

This is a lead-up to how to get a random number.

The original rand() only gives numbers from 0 to 0.999999999

Say the rand() gave you  0.812373

We need that as 8, since you can't move 0.812373 blockers, for instance.

In javascript YOU MUST DECLARE YOUR VARIABLES prior to or on first usage.

That means telling JS you need a memory hole for one, or need a hole and put in a number.

Like we don't know what will be in eight_m yet, so we just say var eight_m;

but we do know what's in m, so we say var m = 0.876501;.

Same as in School-Daze, A - 9=(10 + A)/5 or whatever, A is the variable, and we solve for A.

It's a variable because every question has a different value for A.

Here we set

var m = 0.876501;

We could set charlie_browns_favorite _number = 0.812373; but that is too unweildly.

Multiplying m=0.812373 by 10 gets us in the ballpark, but let's give that variable a different name.

var m2 = 10 * m;

Solving (by the internal JS brain) gives us m2 = 8.12373

So what's left? Drop the decimal places.

Only 2 of these will do both m and n,

where n=0.876501

We don't want 9 for n and 8 for m, and we don't want 9 for both.

var eight_m = Math.trunc(m2);

gives us what we need. So does

var eight_m = Math.floor(m2);

But how do you know that? It's still inside the comp.

alert(eight_m); will display it.

So will console.log(eight_m); display it if you push F12.

You can join text to a number in alert ...alert('my friggin text = ' + my_friggin_variable);

A former member used to have a heck of a lot of trouble with her posts duplicating, sometimes as many as four identical posts.  It SO aggravated her!  And me, because I was the one that had to delete the extras, lol.

What's wrong with Quilting Bee?  I haven't noticed anything.
