Hi Karin,


Now I am totally amazed that you even got this to work.

Actually that is not correct. What you have done is keep the separate

elements, separate which is highly inefficient. All the elements work

together though they can be expressed in components. What you should do

is to do a combined formula. You have 3 enviromental variables and two

targetting variables. They can all be changed randomly if you start with

a proper single combined formula. You could then allow  update of any of

the parameters at any time.


Even if you had trouble combining the formula you should be using

routines that you would 'Call'.

Try adding 1, 10 times. put the speed advance as a separate button at

the tip of each button.


Once you get the code so it is flexible you could have the environmental

variables supplied randomly and make a real game of it counting the

number of misses before a hit and the time to zero in on the target. In

game mode you might want to disable the scope speed option. You could

also easily make it switchable in practice mode.


In competition mode you would supply all comers the same 10 setups and

record the results.


In practice mode you would be able to allow entry of any viable

environmental Range, wind speed or wind direction without having to

reset.


If you need help creating a combined the formula, we could help. What we

would need is the separate formulas you are using and one example of how

you are implementing those formula.
