How do I do a while loop for a turn based game

Having a hard time wrapping my ageing brain around this concept in the event system.

So what I am trying to do is a simple memory game like Simon

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_(game)

Basically, the computer takes its turn, giving you a sequence to memorize, and then the player responds and attempts to duplicate. If the player is successful, the computer then repeats the sequence and adds one more step.

I get that you can build an array, adding a random additional turn each time.

What I am having a hard time figuring out is how do you confine things to turns within a loop.

So

Computer takes turn, blinks one of four boxes.

Then we wait for player response

If player is correct
-computer repeats the original pattern, and adds one more, and then waits for the player.

player takes his turn

and so on

@gazoogle,
i'm sure others will better define the answer, but i don't think you need a classic loop to accomplish this. that's the beauty of the event system. you could simply cycle between the two; computer and player. with rules defining how they complete their turn.

example...
-setup array at beginning
-setup variable for 'sequence' at beginning

-computer add to 'sequence' random color
-computer play 'sequence'

-prompt player to copy 'sequence'
-check if player 'sequence' matched computer sequence or not

this is very vague pseudo code, but it should give you an idea of haw to proceed.

hope it helps...

So Yann beat me to that

Anyhow, I compiled a tutorial for the "Simon" challenge...

pffff...

Very nice, especially the artwork. One can tell, that this is your profession
