Question

Hi All,

I am working on a project for school. Notice that I am a liberal arts major. My project is to develop a multiple choice test. I decided it would be a cool time to teach myself how to program so people could take the test on the computer. I didn't have to do it that way, I could have used anything like survey monkey, etc. but I wanted to learn it. That was dumb but I got pretty far and I really want to finish.

Anyways my code is below I have questions on two parts:

im trying to create a start screen below I have copies over some code so thats why there is quit functions and what not.
If you could point me in the right direction in creating a start page that would be great.

i'm also looking to put the answers into a list how would the -if statments- look if i were to give an answer based on how many a's were chosen or b's, c's or d's

Both questions can also be found as comments below in the location I am working. Thanks for any help. I graduate soon and I promise to give you the best french fries ever when you come into my place of employment after I get my history degree...

As I can not run your code without the icons, I can not answer your questions, I for now only offer this clean up of your functions (untested), even I think their action should be reconsidered.

Wow, thanks for the help. I am not sure if you want to take any more time but if you do, is there a way for me to share my graphics through this site? Thanks!
