Hey guys! I have been working on a tutorial for a while, and I managed to get everything working… well, everything that they showed in the tutorial. I even managed to figure out how and where to add the code needed to keep score, which was painful, but I did it.
I am not a programmer - I am an artist that can’t find a programmer, so I’m trying to teach myself. Thanks for your patience!!!
MY ISSUE, SPECIFICALLY
Whenever the Simon pattern rolls through, it doesn’t pause before allowing the next color to light up. This is causing a long Light-Up period whenever the pattern chooses two of the same number in a row. I have searched high and low, and discovered this:
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
I figured this would work, but it just gives me all sorts of errors…
Here’s the full Simon Code:
```csharp
*using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
struct SimonLightPlate
{
public enum eType
{
INVALID_TYPE = -1,
BLUE,
GREEN,
RED,
PURPLE,
YELLOW,
NUM_TYPES
}
public SimonLightPlate( string plateName)
{
plate = GameObject.Find(plateName);
}
public GameObject plate; //This is the plate associated with the colors
}
public class SimonSays : MonoBehaviour
{
public Text ScoreText;
private int MahScore;
//related to the speed of delivery, not length of light
public float displaySequenceRepeatInterval = 0.5f;
SimonLightPlate[] lightPlates = new SimonLightPlate[(int)SimonLightPlate.eType.NUM_TYPES];
enum eState
{
INVALID_STATE = -1,
THINKING,
DISPLAY_SEQUENCE,
WAITING_FOR_USER,
NUM_STATES
}
eState currentState = eState.INVALID_STATE;
List<int> sequence = new List<int>(5); //holds the sequence
int sequenceCount = 0; // the counter for which index of the sequence we're currently showing.
List<int> clickedSequence = new List<int>(5);
// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{
lightPlates[(int)SimonLightPlate.eType.BLUE] = new SimonLightPlate ("BluePlane");
lightPlates[(int)SimonLightPlate.eType.GREEN] = new SimonLightPlate ("GreenPlane");
lightPlates[(int)SimonLightPlate.eType.RED] = new SimonLightPlate ("RedPlane");
lightPlates[(int)SimonLightPlate.eType.PURPLE] = new SimonLightPlate ("PurplePlane");
lightPlates[(int)SimonLightPlate.eType.YELLOW] = new SimonLightPlate ("YellowPlane");
// MahScore = 0;
// ScoreText.text = MahScore.ToString ();
ResetGame();
InvokeRepeating("DisplaySequence", 1, displaySequenceRepeatInterval);
}
void OnLeftClickDown(SimonLightPlate.eType color)
{
if (currentState == eState.WAITING_FOR_USER)
{
lightPlates[(int)color].plate.GetComponent<Renderer>().enabled = true;
clickedSequence.Add((int)color);
}
}
void OnLeftClickUp(SimonLightPlate.eType color)
{
if (currentState == eState.WAITING_FOR_USER)
{
lightPlates[ (int) color].plate.GetComponent<Renderer>().enabled = false;
if (!VerifySequence())
{
ResetGame();
}
else
{
if (clickedSequence.Count == sequence.Count)
{
currentState = eState.THINKING;
MahScore = MahScore + 1;
ScoreText.text = MahScore.ToString();
clickedSequence.Clear();
}
}
}
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{
if (currentState == eState.THINKING)
{
// Add new sequence
AddNewSequence ();
}
}
bool VerifySequence()
{
// vERIFY THE SEQUENCE UP UNTIL THAT POINT WHERE THE USER LEFT OFF.
for (int i = 0; i < clickedSequence.Count; ++i)
{
if (clickedSequence[i] != sequence[i])
{
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
void DisplaySequence()
{
if (currentState == eState.DISPLAY_SEQUENCE)
{
//We're at the next sequence, so turn off the previous one.
if (sequenceCount > 0)
{
lightPlates[sequence [sequenceCount-1] ].plate.GetComponent<Renderer>().enabled = false;
}
//We're at the end; collect user input now.
if (sequenceCount == sequence.Count)
{
currentState = eState.WAITING_FOR_USER;
}
else
{
lightPlates[sequence [sequenceCount] ].plate.GetComponent<Renderer>().enabled = true;
// Add Audio Here
// AudioSource
++sequenceCount;
}
}
}
void AddNewSequence()
{
sequence.Add (Random.Range (0,5)); //This is where we change from 4 to 5 tokens.
currentState = eState.DISPLAY_SEQUENCE;
sequenceCount = 0;
}
void RetryGame()
{
for (int i = 0; i < (int)SimonLightPlate.eType.NUM_TYPES; ++i)
{
lightPlates[i].plate.GetComponent<Renderer>().enabled = false;
}
}
void ResetGame()
{
MahScore = 0;
ScoreText.text = MahScore.ToString();
currentState = eState.THINKING;
sequence.Clear ();
clickedSequence.Clear ();
sequenceCount = 0;
RetryGame ();
}
}

I feel like the Wait code should be somewhere in the DisplaySequence void, but no matter where I place it, I get errors.
Can anybody explain what I’m doing wrong? I’m trying to understand the syntax but like I said, I make pretty pictures! It’s been ten years since I last touched VB6, and another ten years since BASIC, QBASIC and Liberty BASIC.
Thank in advance! And to the guy that’s going to say, “[negativity redacted] USE GOOGLE, [flippant assumptions of my intelligence redacted],” please know that I spent two days searching for the ability to create my own scores, and succeeded. I spent four days trying to solve this timer issue, and I have not had any success. I love the community, and I want you to know I really tried my best before coming here! Please don’t beat me with the google stick! Hahah!
