Can I use a variable with Goto or Gosub?

[cwbraue]

I am trying to make a middle-earth trivia game. What I was planning to do was to have a list of trivia questions and access them at random by assigning a value a random number between the first line number and last line number with questions. I figured out how to make a random number in the range of the line numbers that have the questions, but I can't figure out how to go to the line number using a variable. Is it not possible to use a variable with Goto or Gosub?

Note, I have plenty of experience with basic, but I am just starting out with playbasic.

   Sounds like Select / Case block  or On Variable Goto / Gosub should do the job.  

PlayBASIC Code: [Select]

     Myoption = Rnd(5)

     Select  MyOption

              case 0
                       print "My Option was #0"


              case 1
                       print "My Option was #1"

    etc etc


    EndSelect
   

PlayBASIC Code: [Select]

     Myoption = Rnd(5)

     on  MyOption goto  option0, option1, option2   etc etc


option0:
                       print "My Option was #0"
                       goto done


option1:
                       print "My Option was #1"
                       goto done

    etc etc


Done:

Thank you! With your example and using the help section on Select I can now display random middle-earth trivia questions for the player to answer.

You probably should just store the anwers in an array and then look them up..
