NeoBook Question (but may apply to VisualNEO??) about a scoreboard app
Quote from seanie on October 6, 2022, 1:12 amHi guys,
I hope this is allowed. I have not updated yet to VisualNeo (but planning on doing so in the near future).
My question is regarding an app which has a simple system for awarding points in a competition between two teams of students.
I have a PushButton with the caption 'A' that awards points to Team A with the following action:
SetVar "[Right]" "[Right] +1"
And on the page, I created a 'scoreboard' using an ellipse and [Right] (grouped) to display the team's points. (I have a similar PushButton for Team B with [Correct].)
That worked perfectly :)
The problem is that I copied the page, thinking that the points from Page 1 would carry over to Page 2, but they didn't. On Page 2, the 'scoreboard' was back to zero. I used the app in class anyway, because I just went low tech and wrote each page's total on the board (it sort of added to the 'drama' I suppose); but this defeats the purpose of computing.
So my question is how do I make each subsequent page (there are four in total) pick up the points from the previous page?
This probably a very basic and silly question, but the closest I've come to 'programming' is using your software and Excel :)
Thanks for your attention, and apologies to exclusive VisualNEO users. I promise I'll become one of you soon.

Hi! For points to be added to the same variable, its name must be the same.
The idea of the project is still eluding me. Can you attach a pub file so we can better understand what is required?

Your answer helped me figure out what I was doing wrong. What I needed to do was Duplicate the variable, instead of Copying the entire page.
I've attached an example (sans didactic content) of what I was doing before.
But I've now got it working the way I wanted.
Gratitude!
I do have a question regarding VisualNEO: As a long-time NeoBook user, will I find the actions/commands pretty similar?
Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated!

If everything works, there is no need for a demo file. I'm happy for your success!
As for VisualNEO Win, all your projects will open in VisualNEO Win without any problems. You will be able to update them. Thanks to the dedicated help of Hans-Peter (@hpw), VisualNEO Win now has commands, global variables and settings that were not previously available in NeoBook.

[+] HashFile=Get several different Hash strings from a file or stream.
[+] IniWrite=Write a key and its value to an ini-file section.
[+] IniRead=Read the value from its key and section in the ini file.
[+] IniReadKeyList=Read (get) the full list of partition keys in the ini file.
[+] IniKeyDel=Remove key from section ini file.
[+] IniReadSectionList=Read (get) the list of all partitions in the ini file.

When you install VisualNEO, does it replace NeoBook on your computer, or does it run as a separate programme? In other words, can one keep and use both NeoBook and VisualNeo on the same computer?

VisualNEO Win does not touch NeoBook during installation. You can leave NeoBook uninstalled yourself and install VisualNEO Win separately. They will not conflict. You can even use different sets of plugins or the same plugins in them. I have both programs installed.

That makes me more confident to go ahead and install VisualNEO :)
