A game about carrots and garbage

carrots-or-garbage's Issues

Better Betting Button Solution

Currently the betting buttons are an object called objBtnSmall and they have an image index property that starts them on the image in the sprite stack that correlates to their amount. They also have a betting amount property. Also, each one needs a specialized instance name to be controlled.

This would work so much better if there were a way to draw the number on or over the sprite based on the betAmount property, and just leave the instance names alone so that the whole stack could be handled by a with(objBtnSmall) instead. the more buttons that get added, the more jumbled and cumbersome the code is becoming.

It would be nice if in the onCreate event that the betting amount were drawn on top of just a generic button object with a three state sprite for standard, hover, and pressed states.

Monty Haul Logic

General Rules

• Populate door objects with carrot, garbage, garbage
• Highlighting selected door.
• Reveal one door which must be garbage

Payout

Once player has picked a door, then a door is revealed, there is only a 1/3 chance that that door is the Carrots door. If the user sticks with this door, payout should be higher for the increased risk
Since there is a 2/3 chance that the door the player switches to will be carrots, the payout for the choice to change to the other door should be less for the decreased risk.
