I have been working with VB for 4 years this week, and as I stated in the Family Feud thread I created earlier today, it seems as if I am interested in learning how to use fewer lines of code instead of using hundreds or even over a thousand lines of code.
I am considering developing a game based on The $25,000 Pyramid, a game show hosted by Dick Clark during the 1980s.
Here is a video to view so that it may give some idea on how to code the game with as few lines of code as possible:

There are two parts to the game. Contestant picks a category on the board, then the host tells one of the team players to describe to the partner something related to the "mock" category (i.e. "Christmas is Coming" on the board means that the true category is "things associated with Thanksgiving", etc.). Player is given so many seconds to get as many as 7 correct. After all 6 categories are used up, or if the difference between the two scores is greater than 7 after three or more questions (one player has 14 points and the other player has 6 points), whoever is in the lead goes to the winner's circle.
The first winner goes to the end game (the Winner's Circle) and plays for $10,000. If that same player goes to the second Winner's Circle round in the same show, he or she plays for $25,000.
I read about a "Do While" situation on another thread. Is there any way such situation could be possible with what gameplay is used on the clip? It seems as if a "Do While" makes the code a bit more efficient and cuts down on lines of code.
