Im looking for a basic understand of a userinput survey. So it would display what a, b and c are and you would type the letter based on the answer assigned to the letter. And it would switch scenes for every question.
See if this would help you any.
https://codea.io/talk/discussion/7868/how-to-code-for-a-poll#latest
I had a look at that but i didnt seem to like that logic
That example showed a question and let you select an answer. It then continued showing questions/answers until there were no more questions. There’s code in there that you wouldn’t need, but you would remove that and add your code. I guess I don’t understand exactly what you’re after then.
I want basically, you pick one out of 4 options ( which are buttons) and the question is displayed above.
Can you give one example of the 4 options and the questions that would pop up. Maybe if I can see what you want I can whip up another example.
What is your age? , 1-10,10-15,15-20,20-80
That was basically the program I showed you above. Here’s a modified version of it. You’ll have to add code to the touched function depending on what you want to do with the answer you select. Does this work for you.
function setup()
questions()
answers()
quest=1
end
function draw()
background(40, 40, 50)
fill(255)
if quest<=#qTab then
fill(255)
rect(50,650,400,80)
rect(50,450,400,80)
rect(50,350,400,80)
rect(50,250,400,80)
rect(50,150,400,80)
fill(255,0,0)
text(qTab[quest],200,700)
text(aTab[quest][1],200,500)
text(aTab[quest][2],200,400)
text(aTab[quest][3],200,300)
text(aTab[quest][4],200,200)
else
text("No more questions",WIDTH/2,HEIGHT/2)
end
end
function questions()
qTab={}
table.insert(qTab,"What is your age.")
table.insert(qTab,"How tall are you.")
table.insert(qTab,"This is question 3")
table.insert(qTab,"This is question 4")
table.insert(qTab,"This is question 5")
end
function answers()
aTab={}
table.insert(aTab,{"1-10 years","11-15 years","16-20 years","21-80 years"})
table.insert(aTab,{"3-4 feet","4-5 feet","5-6 feet","6-7 feet"})
table.insert(aTab,{"ans3-1","ans3-2","ans3-3","ans3-4"})
table.insert(aTab,{"ans4-1","ans4-2","ans4-3","ans4-4"})
table.insert(aTab,{"ans5-1","ans5-2","ans5-3","ans5-4"})
end
function touched(t)
if t.state==ENDED and quest<=#qTab then
if t.x>0 and t.x<WIDTH and t.y>450 and t.y<550 then
quest=quest+1
end
if t.x>0 and t.x<WIDTH and t.y>350 and t.y<450 then
quest=quest+1
end
if t.x>0 and t.x<WIDTH and t.y>250 and t.y<350 then
quest=quest+1
end
if t.x>0 and t.x<WIDTH and t.y>150 and t.y<250 then
quest=quest+1
end
end
end
Here this is what i came up with, Is there i way i can add a restart button at the end? And a way to simplifiy this messyness? The purpose of the program is an adult test to see if your ready to move out or not based on the answers.

In the code where quest > #qTab, add another text that says to tap the screen to restart. In the touched function, add code that calls restart if the screen is tapped.
@dave1707 @durnonimous all those table.insert commands, yuck! You don’t them, you can declare table by placing the values inside the curly braces:
eg:
function values()
sTab={
{1,1,0,9000},
{0,1,2,0},
{3,2,0,0}
-- ... lots more values here
}
etc
is much more readable.
@yojimbo2000 You’re correct about the table entries. I’m not sure why I did the table.insert to start with, but apparently I just copied the lines of code.
Everyone’s code needs another pair of eyes sometimes 
@durnonimous Here’s the above code with the table.inserts removed. I also added the restart at the end of the questions and reduced the size of the touched function.
