So I've decided to embark on what could be the hardest project I have ever undertaken, that is to ask questions on a screen and prompt for user inputted answers. This game crosses so many boundaries and will be absolutely epic when complete! I got the idea this morning after playing with some tutorials I had made, which were about storing text into memory for a scrolling message. My proposed system will have questions, which are textually displayed (scrolling most likely) and then have a section where users input a short 1-2 word answer.
This will be difficult as most minecraft games deal with numbers as to their ease of workings, but mine will harness a number of my own designs in a way that I have never seen before in all of minecraft.
I have no real screenshots of a substantial system, but I do have a number of videos for the concept and what it will be like and so I'm hoping to give it life in the coming weeks.
I can see the redstoning being huge, but at very least I won't have to store every answer, I can reset the memory and thus it will ultimately be smaller than my scrolling text monstrosity I am yet to return to.
Thoughs?
Checklist: Level of completion
Display screen 50%
User inputted values display on screen 70% Just a matter of connecting lines to respective slots
Memory cells for user input 80% - Need slight command line functions added
User input reader 90% - Needs modification of timing
Option selector device for letters 70% - Device created, but needs to be hooked up to encoder.
Console text stored 20% - Most time extensive part of the project.
Binary Decoder 90% - Need to slow values down so there is no overlap
Menu 5% - Has to be done last. The menu controls all of the functions of the system.
Text Speed changer 80% - Needs to have the variable device installed within the menu functions.
Question verification system 0% - Have not encoded the questions yet.
Based on the above averaged out (466/10), the project is 46.6% complete, but 45 was a closer number.

The video is not of my current project, but a display of the concept (my own video), which I will use to create my game.7 Update Logs
Update #7 : by Steve_OH 06/08/2012 2:50:19 amJune 8, 2012 @ 6:50 am UTC
modified the text display section to a single channel onto the screen. This should help with lag. Also remodelled (again) the binary decoder
